Despite being a vegetarian, Anastacia was tuckered into a pork chop during a tumultuous cooking segment on Wednesday's This Morning. The American singer, 55, who co-founded Alison Hammond and Dermot's O'Leary, was on the program to discuss her latest German-inspired album but became disengaged when she smelt Ainsley Harriott's cooking. Inspired by his latest travels, the chef's midweek Malta-inspired pork chops were sold in Anastacia, and he couldn't refuse.

Working schedules may have changed, but many of us still have to schedule time off far in advance, so it makes sense to make the most of every public holiday that comes along. This year, there are eight Bank Holidays in England and Wales, so if you are planning around these dates and their companion weekends, it is likely to stretch 21 days of annual leave into a glorious 49 days. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, which are both ten public holidays a year, the chances are even better. But now is the time to start planning. The Big Orange Sale is running (until Monday) and several tour operators have agreed to entice us to book early. Here are the key dates to take off, as well as 16 holidays that fit them well, from budget breaks and all-inclusive beach resorts to long-distance luxury escapes.

The Masked Singer is back! With 12 new mystery celebrities on the front page, the panel of judges would have to work quickly to decipher the vital clues as to who is behind the mask. From Piranha to the Eiffel Tower, there's a whole slew of strange and wacky characters this year.

Carol Vorderman's Christmas singing special was so serious that she admits she took voice lessons to prepare for it. However, despite dressing as a reindeer for The Masked Singer's festive version, she lost out to television chef Ainsley Harriott, who sang as a partridge in a pear tree. Judge Davina McCall, Rita Ora, Jonathan Ross, and Mo Gilligan all attempted to guess who he was.

The television chef posted a sweet snapshot of his granddaughter's hand tied around his finger on Instagram. 'I'm so delighted to tell you that I became a grandad to a stunning baby girl last week.'

He knows how to cook, but Ainsley Harriott said he's less familiar with a dance floor after attending the Legends of Football event in London on Monday evening. While mingling with guests at the Grosvenor House gala, the professional chef demonstrated some of the game's most popular names while still raising funds for music therapy charity Nordoff and Robbins. As the auction began, Harriett, 66, was on his feet and cutting some dubious shapes, much to the amusement of those present.

If you're stringing out bunting for a street party, planning a picnic with family, or hosting the family for a Bank Holiday lunch, there's nothing like a Coronation to get everyone together for a celebratory feast. Food has always been a part of the crowning of a new monarch, particularly when the monarch, like King Charles, is such a stead supporter of British farming and exports. Over the weekend, we'll be hosting more than 100,000 Coronation Big Lunches, as part of a charity initiative for which Camilla is a member - and more than 50,000 street parties around the UK.

Wendy Farrar, 51, was visiting a small fishing village near Banff in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, with her husband Stephen, 55. The pair realized the ride was 'not for the faint-hearted' having already negotiated a steep descent into the fishing port. They discovered the narrow one-track road leading to a cliff with crashing waves at its foot as they went down the street to their holiday rental. Stephen, the company's founder, takes a ride along the 'tiny' road before claiming that the crashing waves had'splashed the side of the vehicle.' Nonetheless, the ride only enhanced the tour, and Wendy claims that the cottage was the 'best place they'd ever stayed'.
