Mark Wright’s mother, Carol, has shared her role as a mother-in-law in a bombshell interview. 

The former TOWIE star and Fool Me Once actress, both 38, tied the knot in 2015 in a lavish ceremony at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

During the latest episode of their family podcast Wright At Home, Carol spoke the heart about her relationship with Michelle.

Reading a letter sent in from a listener, her daughter Jess said: ‘Whenever my mother-in-law comes over she acts like I stole her son.’

Sharing her thoughts on the situation, Carol said: ‘It’s a hard one because everyone’s sons are like, you know, they’re your sons and… a woman comes along and they do take your son.

‘But I’m a bit different because I actually hold back because of that reason. ‘I always think that when the girl comes into our family it’s quite they feel a bit overpowering to so many of us, so I seem to be like I hold back a bit.’ 

At this point Jess also shared that she hated the narrative that her mum was this ‘evil mother-in-law’ because it is far from the truth.

‘It’s nothing like me, I’m totally the opposite,’ Carol explained before admitting that she would step in to ‘protect’ her son, if needed.

It comes after Mark and Michelle celebrated their first Christmas as a family of three with their daughter baby Palma.

The couple welcomed their first child together in March of this year.

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren are celebrating a major milestone as their eldest daughter, Honor Warren, prepares to take the next big step in her academic journey. 

The 17-year-old has officially been accepted to Yale University, where she plans to study English and Film Studies, according to an announcement shared by her high school.

The school revealed the news in a celebratory Instagram post, featuring a photo of a younger Honor alongside the Yale logo. 

“Honor is headed to Yale University!!” the caption read, adding, “We are so proud of Honor and it’s an HONOR to send her off.” 

The post also noted that she will be part of the Class of 2029, ending with a cheerful “Go Bulldogs.” The announcement came on the same day Yale released its early decision results.

Honor’s acceptance was quickly met with love from her family. 

Her younger sister, Haven, 14, showed her support by commenting two red heart emojis on the post. The news marks a proud moment for the entire family, especially during a year filled with change.

The milestone arrives amid a transitional period for Jessica and Cash, who share three children, Honor, Haven, and their youngest, Hayes, 7. 

The former couple filed for divorce earlier this year after 16 years of marriage. Despite the change, both parents have made it clear that their children remain their top priority.

Jessica recently spoke about balancing personal growth with motherhood, sharing that her main focus is making sure her kids feel supported and happy. 

“They’re my No. 1 priority,” she said. “So as long as they’re happy and they’re good and they’re healthy, we’re all good.”

Cash has also expressed support for Jessica’s new chapter, including her relationship with actor Danny Ramirez. 

As the family moves forward, Honor’s college acceptance stands out as a bright and meaningful moment, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in her life.

Eurostar train services between London and continental Europe have partially resumed after a day of major travel chaos, but passengers are still being urged to postpone non-essential journeys due to severe ongoing delays.

The disruption started early Tuesday, December 30, when a power supply and a failed Le Shuttle train forced the complete closure of the Channel tunnel.

Authorities have confirmed that the tunnel has partially reopened with one track operational, the overhead power supply issue persists.

However, Eurostar has strongly advised all customers to postpone their travel to a different date if possible. In an official statement, the operator warned, “Your train is currently scheduled to run but your journey could be disrupted,” and significant delays are expected to continue through Tuesday and potentially into Wednesday, December 31.

Major hubs faced immediate chaos. Crowds of stranded travellers with suitcases swelled at London’s St Pancras International and at the Gare du Nord in Paris, which transport vehicles and their passengers through the tunnel, are also experiencing significant waits.

Initially, even services not using the tunnel like those between Paris and Brussels were also cancelled. Travellers are advised to check Eurostar’s website for live updates.
