She joins Manilla-born Pio Abad, Manchester-born Claudette Johnson and Worthing-born Delaine Le Bas, whose artwork targets colonialism in museums, focuses on portraits of black women and men and explores the history of the Roma people. The artists have been nominated in the prize's 40th anniversary event which will return to London 's Tate Britain for the first time in six years.

Having Damien Hirst as her boyfriend seems to be awfully hard work for Sophie Cannell. The former ballerina, 30, has been performing dances around the stripper pole he had installed at his £36 million home in Regent's Park, London, even though she's heavily pregnant. Sophie shared this photograph online of her leaning on the pole in an outfit that displayed her breasts and baby bump. 'Blue for a boy,' she comments, referring to the sex of the child she's expecting. Hirst who is 28 years her senior, is said to be Britain's richest artist, with an estimated fortune of £300 million. The new arrival will have to share his home with their French bulldogs, Pablo, Chapo and Blanco. The artist, known for his shark pickled in a tank, has three adult children with former girlfriend Maia Norman.

The 58-year-old seemed to be getting some fatherly practise in on Friday as he pushed his pet pooch in a pram as he prepares to welcome his fourth child.  The artist was joined by his fiancée Sophie Cannell, 30, who is heavily pregnant with the couple's first child together. Arriving at their favourite restaurant, Scotts in Mayfair, Damien kept it casual in a black zip up hoody and T-shirt. 

Damien Hirst and his pregnant partner Sophie Cannell pushed their pet pooch in a dog buggy as they stepped out on Wednesday ahead of the arrival of their first child. The artist, 58, wore a zip-up black jumper with a blue plaid jacket, grey trousers and trainers, and a white beanie. Former ballerina Sophie, 30, opted for a black hoodie with slim-fit black trousers and a black beanie hat.

For anyone wanting Italian food in London today, there are hundreds of venues to choose from. From what was Little Italy in Clerkenwell to the hub of Italian venues in Soho, the capital is awash with outlets serving pasta, pizza and other dishes. The history of Italian food and culture in the capital stretches back to the 19th century, when immigrant ice cream sellers (bottom right, an ice cream seller in 1877) flogged their wares on poverty-stricken streets. London's oldest delicatessen, Terroni of Clerkenwell (top right), which opened during the reign of Queen Victoria, is still trading today. As is the iconic Soho establishment Bar Italia (left, and inset recently), which was set up in 1949 to serve good coffee and act as a social hub for the capital's Italian community.

Last week, Damien Hirst and his pregnant fiancée Sophie Cannell pushed their pet chihua in a stroller to dinner at their regular hang-out Scott's restaurant. The artist, 58, and the ex-ballerina, 30, who revealed last November that a baby was on the way, appeared to be carefree as they carried out their role as parents by handing their pooch a ride. Sophie screamed at the dog and joking with Damien, who had a slightly shocked expression on his face. Damien was carrying a huge holdall bag as if he was packing for something.

Three Damien Hirst sculptures made by preserving animals in formaldehyde were actually only made in 2017 and were 'artificially aged,' according to a news investigation. The three works, which include a preserved dove, a shark, and two calves, have been exhibited at art galleries around the world, including in Hong Kong, New York, Munich, London, and Oxford. According to The Guardian, a key element of their appeal was that they dated from the 1990s, not during Hirst's Turner prize-winning period.

They revealed in December that they are expecting a baby boy. Damien Hirst's pregnant fiancée proudly displayed her growing belly when she arrived at Scott's for lunch on Saturday. When they carried their pet chihua in a travel carrier, the couple seemed to be practising the role of mother and father.

Sir Keir Starmer battled to revive memories of predecessor Sir Tony Blair's 'Cool Britannia' set as he received support for his arts ventures from a slew of British actors today. Happy Valley actor James Norton, comedian Jason Manford, artist Damien Hirst, and singer Beverly Knight all gave the Labour chief their love. Sir Keir promised that if he were Prime Minister David Cameron, the arts would be "for everyone, everywhere" under a Labour government. He also promised to work with industry to ensure British talent continues to emerge, but he said Labour will not be able to turn on the taps straight away to finance the scheme. During the 14 years of Tory governments, arts subjects had been 'diminished and devalued,' Labour leader Ed Miliband said. The Conservatives dismissed Sir Keir's address at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama as "nothing more than warm words." They cited Labour's record in Wales, where they are overseeing'serious cuts to the arts as a result of their financial mismanagement.' Norton, Manford, and Knight appeared in a video to promote Sir Keir's plans, while Hirst pledged his support for Labour's plans. But none of them were expected to have attended Sir Keir's address this morning as the Labour leader addressed 250 business executives, including representatives of Netflix, Amazon, and Disney at his party's 'Cleir's.

In Yorkshire's historic Bretton Hall, London's star-studded Groucho Club is expected to open a new club and hotel. The trendy Soho joint, where artist Damien Hirst first put his £20,000 Turner Prize winnings behind the bar, opened in 1985 as a private members' club and now has 5,000 members. It has since become well-known for its famous guests, including Kate Moss and Bill Clinton, who have stepped through its doors at 45 Dean Street. According to the Guardian, Bretton Hall in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, is the opening of a new venue in the north of England.

Mariella Frostrup, artist Damien Hirst, and philosopher Alain de Botton were among the contributors to Erotic Review in the past. The journal, which was once characterized as a magazine for "liberated yet intelligent minds," will go back into print next month, with new owner and editor Lucy Roeber relaunching the racy brand. (Pictured from left: A 2004 copy of Erotic Review; the copy launching on March 11th)

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Here's a first: Fortnum & Mason, the King's grocer, is embroiled in a tumultuous dispute with a graffiti artist. Before winning commissions from companies such as L'Oreal, MTV, and shoemaker Skechers, James Goldcrown made his name by repeating hearts, which he sprayed on walls in London, Los Angeles, and New York. The Londoner, 43, was surprised to learn Fortnum's using a similar style for its Valentine's Day display (above right) at its Piccadilly store. Accusing it of "ripping off" his designs, he claims: "You'd expect that by now larger firms like Fortnum's would be able to recruit lazy designers who honed rip-off skills online during the pandemic." Not much today is original.'

MailOnline takes a look back at where the cast of the hit TV drama is now after the shock death of Grange Hill actor Stuart Organ, who died at the age of 72. Peter Robson, the actor's fan favorite, appeared in the children's TV drama, which aired from 1978 to 2008.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: He was blessed with inheriting the magnificent Longleat, his stately family seat in Wiltshire, as well as a sprawling estate of more than 9,000 acres, after his father died in 2020, aged 87. However, Ceawlin Thynn, Bath's 8th Marquess, would not be human if his late father, Alexander, had lived in a slightly more orthodox manner from time to time. Ceawlin is now plagued by the inevitable fractures caused by the man's confession that he had 75 couples, or wives, as he wanted to call them after his 1969 marriage to Hungarian-born actress Anna Gael, who has never divorced. Now that I can recall, Longleat's balustrades are being rattled by one-time Bond Girl, Jamaican-born bombshell Sylvana Henriques, many decades after she first attempted to photograph Alexander.

According to a college student blog, EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: The Duchess of Sussex's trip to Dublin in 2013 - when she tried her hand at pouring Guinness - came only after Trinity College debating society's efforts to attract a more popular celebrity. We decided she wasn't important enough to become an honorary patron after inviting her, so we gave her a Bram Stoker Medal,' it says, after the former society member who wrote Dracula.'

Sophie Cannell, the UK's richest artist, excelled himself for her 30th birthday, marrying their first child together. Hirst, 58, gave the former ballet dancer an unusual cake in the shape of their body, showing their unborn babies. It seems that he was inspired by his series of massive bronze sculptures depicting the evolution of the enemy in the womb, dubbed The Miraculous Journey. The artist, who lives with Cannell in Regent's Park, is celebrating in Las Vegas.

A number of TikTok creators have gone out of their way to get their followers an exclusive glimpse inside. Viewers are taken inside a $14,000 Encore Three Bedroom Duplex suite at the Wynn Las Vegas billiards table to a massage room to keep guests happy in one video posted to the TikTok channel @mansiontok.

Alessandra Ambrosio is one of the best figures in the known universe. In a series of snaps on Instagram depicting her in a tiny black bikini on an idyllic deck overlooking the ocean, she put her flawless body on display. In a snap, the Brazilian model, 42, is standing and sipping a drink with her backside on display in the bathing suit's cheeky bottoms. Her long brown hair has long blonds in a ponytail. She is shown lying on her back with one arm extended above her head in a separate photograph. Sunglasses are arranged by her side.

On Monday, Alessandra Ambrosio displayed her jaw-dropping figure in a tiny patterned bikini as she enjoyed a beach day in Brazil. The 42-year-old model was dazzling in the vibrant two-piece, which featured a triangle top and matching tie side bottoms.

When enjoying a day at the beach, Alessandra Ambrosio demonstrated her figure in a tiny black bikini with gold straps. The supermodel, 42, who recently stole the show at Art Basel, looked stunning in this strappy gown, with large gold earrings and black sunglasses as her wet hair down. The swim was sponsored by her very own business, GAL Floripa. She was on the beach in her native Brazil, where she spent the holidays with family and friends. Praia Brava, Norte Da Ilha, Floripa, was also named in the exact location: Praia Brava. That's how she got the name for her swim line. In her Instagram post, she wrote, 'Ocean girl.'

Damien Hirst's Beautiful Portrait of The Queen is one of the most coveted pieces in the Government Art Collection, and has been displayed in five Whitehall offices in the space of five years. It was never shown to the public until the pandemic, when it made its debut behind then Health Secretary Matt Hancock in his Whitehall office as he briefed the nation on the most recent Covid-19 news over Zoom. It has since been relocated to former Culture Secretary and Party Chairman Oliver Dowden and former Culture Secretary Michele Donelan, who also serves as Minister of Science, Innovation, and Technology.

RICHARD KAY: For years, the woman, who had mistakenly dubbed the 'Angel of Peckham', had been treated with love and admiration that bordered on adulation. Universities had been attempting to give honorary degrees to her feet, but the BBC named her as one of the country's 100'most influential' women. But eight years ago, her reign as Britain's undisputed charity queen came to a halt, as Kids Company, which she founded in order to support homeless children and their families from violent and underprivileged inner-city backgrounds, came to a halt due to allegations of misappropriation of tens of millions of pounds of taxpayer money. With the death of her mother, princes, actors, and the gullible rich who were all seduced by her flamboyant outfits and equally optimistic stories about her charity this week, the mystery remains as to why she captivated prime ministers and princes, celebrities, and the gullible wealthy who were all seduced by her dazzling outfits and similarly dazzling reports about her charity.

Camila Batmanghelidjh, the founder of the scandal-plagued Kids Company's charity, has died at the age of 61. Following a long illness, the former operating director of the charity, which helped poor and homeless youth, died on New Year's Day. Following a birthday celebration with her family, the founder of two 'groundbreaking' charities died peacefully in her sleep on Monday night. 'Camila spent her life to campaigning for Britain's most endangered children,' they said in a tweet, during her work at Place2Be and Kids Company.' But who was Camila Batmanghelidjh, how did Kids Company come to be and what scandals rocked the charity before her passing?Find out more below
