Gabby Allen breaks silence on Jacqueline Jossa row as she admits she’s no longer mates with Dan Osborne
GABBY Allen has broken her silence on her feud with Jacqueline Jossa as she admitted she’s no longer speaks to Dan Osborne.
The reality star, who is set to return to All Stars later this month, was previously linked to Jac’s husband Dan after they were pictured getting close on a yacht in Marbella back in 2018.
Gabby Allen has broken her silence on her feud with Jacqueline Jossa[/caption]Gabby, who is hoping to find her dream man as she returns to All Stars, said she is no longer in contact with Dan, 33.
She told The Sun: That literally hasn’t crossed my mind for years.
“I feel like I’m so far removed from that situation now, that I don’t know, it’s mad that people would like even bring it up but I suppose people are interested in that aren’t they?
“I mean me and Dan were just mates, but we weren’t that good mates to like warrant continuing a friendship.”
The blonde beauty went on to wish the couple well and said she had hoped that everyone had moved on.
“It’s like that was a long time ago and we knew each other for a very short amount of time and that was it,” she shared.
“I just hope that like that doesn’t cause issues for like them because it was a very long time and I feel like everybody’s moved on and I hope they’re really happy.”
What happened between Dan and Gabby?
Jacqueline, 32, who plays EastEnders’ Lauren Branning, later walked out on Towie star Dan, 33, after learning he’d sent her a flirty message.
The couple are back on track, but had another knock last summer when two robbers broke into their villa in Marbella and stole £20,000 of jewellery and belongings
Gabby will join a string of other show legends for ITV’s All Stars series, which begins on January 13 on ITV2.
A source said: “Gabby being back in the spotlight is the last thing Jac and Dan need and will no doubt bring back memories for Jac.
“Gabby did not reply to the message, but has been seen as ‘the other woman’.”
Dan and Gabby both denied anything happened.
Jac and Dan married in 2017 and share daughters Ella, nine, and Mia, five, as well as Dan’s son Teddy, ten, from a previous relationship.
Gabby joins Luca Bish, Olivia Hawkins and Curtis Pritchard on the All Stars in Cape Town, South Africa.
An ITV spokeswoman said: “Any names suggested are speculation until our line-up is officially announced.”
‘Devastated’ couple forced to leave ‘no longer safe’ home after river wall collapse amid ‘huge risk’ to area fears
A YOUNG couple has been left “utterly devastated” after being forced to leave their home following a “catastrophic” river wall collapse near the property.
The entire back garden wall of the house, in Inchicore Co Dublin, collapsed into the Camac river on Friday night – with fears growing that parts of the home will begin to fall next.
Ellen Blehein and husband Robert Somerville were out on Friday night when they received a call from their neighbour who informed them of the collapse at the property, which they bought in April 2021.
Horror pictures of the home show the banks of the river washed away with a steep drop just inches from the back door of the couples home.
And after being forced to leave their home “because it’s no longer safe”, the pair have called on Dublin City Council and the Office of Public Works to repair the wall “before our home washes away”.
A fundraiser has been set up for Ellen and Rob, who have moved many of their belongings from the back of the home over fears rooms will be washed away, to raise cash for the repair.
Ellen said that the couple had been “holding off” on setting up the fundraiser but were advised to do so, adding: “We understand times are tough for everyone but if anyone wishes to donate we would really appreciate it.”
The couple’s pal Sorcha Crilly, who organised the GoFundMe, explained that, soon after Rob and Ellen moved into their home three years ago, cracks began to appear in the walls of the house and they were advised by an engineer that the house was subsiding.
Sorcha said: “Rob and Ellen immediately began engaging with Dublin City Council on repair works needed to the river wall and the culvert behind their home.”
The west Dublin couple are currently meeting with engineers, speaking to insurers and solicitors and looking to find grants or schemes to repair damage caused to their home.
They are urged the Office of Public Works and Dublin City Council to repair the damage to the river wall and prevent flooding or further damage to the area or neighbouring properties.
Ellen and Robert will have to fork out “an enormous cost” to repair their house themselves as they “urgently need” to prop up the current structure and prevent further damage to their home.
Sorcha explained: “Ellen and Rob do not believe that their insurance company will provide any support
“They are still engaging with the OPW and DCC, who have advised that they will begin repair works in the interest of public safety.
“Rob and Ellen are urging the council to repair the culvert behind Tyrconnell street because it is a huge risk to Inchicore.”
‘URGENT REPAIR’ NEEDED
She added: “Ellen and Rob really appreciate how kind and generous everyone has been with their advice and their good wishes, and they know this is a tough time for everybody, but they are utterly devastated and their house needs to be supported immediately to prevent any more collapse.”
The GoFundMe page, which has so far raised just under €10,000 of its €50,000 goal, has been set up to raise funds for “urgent and immediate” repair to the home in efforts to prevent any further damage.
If the work on the home can be funded by grants the funds will not be drawn down and refunds will be provided.
Sorcha said: “If you could make any donation it would be so appreciated, we really want to help our wonderful friends and get them safely back in their home.”
Dublin City Council confirmed that the rear property wall of the home had collapse and the council is engaged in “ongoing contact” with an engineer working for the homeowners.
A spokesperson said: “Council engineers are assessing this location to establish if works can be carried out to reduce any potential flood risk.
“Any remedial works that may be carried out by the Council in the interest of public safety will be carried in consultation with the relevant property owners and with their consent where appropriate.”
The Irish Sun reached out to the Office of Public Works for a statement but did not immediately receive a reply.
Theme park reveals plans for new land based on world’s most popular kids TV show and it’s the first in Europe
A NEW theme park land based on the world’s most popular kids TV show is set to open in France.
A first for Europe, Parc Spirou Provence has revealed plans for a Naruto attraction.
Parc Spirou first opened in 2018[/caption]The series, originally a manga (Japanese comic book) was created by Masahi Kishimoto in 1999, before becoming a cartoon in 2002.
The Japanese anime show was found to be the most watched kids show in 83 countries, following a study by The ToyZone.
And the 15,000m² attraction will be an immersive experience based on the anime’s village of Konoha.
Working with Japanese designers, attractions and characters will be part of the land although more is to be revealed.
It hopes to open by 2026.
It will be the first Naruto theme park land in Europe, with the others all in Japan.
The theme park manager Hervé Lux said, “It is a great joy and an honor for us to bring the Naruto universe to life at Parc Spirou.
“We have been working on this incredible expansion for 4 years now.
“Led hand in hand between the Park, Mediatoon Licensing, and our Japanese partners Shueisha, Studio Pierrot, and TV Tokyo, this project will allow us to offer visitors the most immersive experience possible for a theme park.”
Parc Spirou Provence first opened in 2018, with three rollercoasters and themed lands.
Based on the French-Belgian comic book Spirou & Fantasio, other themed attractions at the park also include The Smurfs.
Hoping to welcome 450,000 guests next year, earlier this summer it took over the nearby Wave Island waterpark.
And Naruto is not the only Japanese anime coming to major theme parks.
Universal Hollywood confirmed that experiences based on other popular shows such as One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen will launch from April to May this year.
Or you can visit Nördlingen in Germany – a town thought to have inspired the manga Attack on Titans.
But if you find yourself in Japan, you can go to the world’s largest anime theme park, Nijigen no Mori.
The park has everything from Naruto and Godzilla to smaller pop ups like Spy X Family.
Another theme park is opening in Europe, this time in Poland, with mermaid and viking themed lands at Hossoland.
In the mean time, we’ve founded up the best theme parks and attractions opening in the UK and Europe this year.
And here are five UK theme parks you’ve probably never heard of.

FASHION fans are scrambling to get their hands on a beautiful winter coat in Dunnes Stores – and it’s set to turn heads.
The Gallery Long Borg Coat is available in stores across the county.
The faux fur finish black coat has buttons down the centre and pockets.
Carrie, who posts under @coveted_by_carrie, took to TikTok to show off the winter coat.
She said: “One of my best buys In the January sale, and it wasn’t even on sale. I was hoping it would go on sale.
“It actually sounds a bit mean of me, because this fabulous fur coat is in Dunnes Stores, and it was only €60.”
The classic coat is perfect for your capsule wardrobe.
Carrie continued: “Like a coat like this on sale would be €60, like you’d give €120 for this. I would anyway.
“It’s a timeless piece, fair play to Dunnes. I think they’re very fair and reasonable with their clothes.
“Lads these days, clothes are cheaper than food. That’s my excuse, anyway.
“But I’m going to be good this year. I’m really going to be more mindful and more conscious. But I am pleased with this.”
The cosy coat is available in sizes 8 to 18.
Its description reads: “Achieve ultimate comfort with this longline coat from Gallery.
“In a double-breasted fashion, it features a cosy collar, deep pockets for extra warmth and a satin lining for a luxurious feel.
“Perfect for braving the colder weather in style.”
The Gallery Long Borg Coat in black is completely sold out online.
But the winter coat is still available in mocha and reduced to €30.
Shoppers are also going wild for a winter essential that has hit the shelves in Dunnes Stores.
The belted hot water bottle has arrived in stores across the country and is also available online.
The belted hot water bottle, retailing at €10, has a soft grey cover and Velcro strap.
An Irish TikTok user, who posts under @megankatemcg, told how the hot water bottle is a game-changer.
She said: “This one is for the girls, potentially the guys as well. But I feel like definitely more girls.
“If you want to get yourself like a little treat, like a little sweet treat, a little something cosy for this freezing weather, or just in general, to make your life 10 times happier – you need this, this bad boy strap on hot water bottle.”
Megan revealed the grey hot water bottle strapped to her stomach.
THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
