FUTURA LIGHT
CHART domination clearly suits Becky Hill.
The singer looked like a class act in this black two piece as she announced her second album Believe Me Now?

The record will drop on May 31 and features singles Disconnect, Side Effects and Never Be Alone.
Becky also tried her hand at crowd surfing for the album cover but kept it classy in a posh ball gown.
Becky said: “This album has been a joy to make.
“It’s come at a point in my life where I’m leaving my turbulent twenties behind me and entering my thirties as a more confident, knowledgeable and self-assured woman and this album really reflects that.
“I wanted this body of work to be deep rooted in dance music but have my story telling song writing flowing throughout, describing tales of loneliness, togetherness, love and betrayal.
“I can’t wait to share it with the world.”
LIAM Payne comeback track Teardrops is inspired by his rocky love life.
The Sun told in May how Liam had split from Kate Cassidy. They later got back together.
His relationship with Cheryl ended in 2018 and he dated model Maya Henry.
In a clip shared earlier tonight Liam pines: “Teardrops are falling down your face again, cos I don’t know how to love you when I’m broken.”
The singer wrote: “A song born from many tears. Some mine, some not.”
The track is set to be the lead single from his second album, which I told will be his most personal work ever.
BYE EK
AFTER being dogged by cheating rumours for months, Ekin-Su Culculoglu has finally kicked her Love Island boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti to the kerb.
I sat with them at our Who Cares Wins awards in September and it seemed as though they had both moved on from the saga.

But insiders told me Ekin-Su struggled to get past the drama from last summer.
After hearing rumours, Ekin-Su messaged an Instagram model Davide was accused of hooking up with, and branded her a “f***ing slag”.
A source said: “Ekin-Su and Davide haven’t been the same since he was accused of cheating.
“Davide insisted he’d done nothing wrong and hadn’t cheated but Ekin-Su struggled to get past the rumours.
“They’d been rowing a lot recently and split earlier this month.
“It’s for the best and they’re trying to act like adults and just move on with their lives now.”
When I was told they had broken up earlier this month, my insider said that Ekin-Su was in the middle of negotiating new big-money offers for more reality TV work.
It comes after she impressed telly execs during her stint on Dancing On Ice last year.
This news is said to have put the wind up Davide, who, I’ve been told, has been trying to negotiate his own path back into the limelight.
My insider added: “Ekin-Su has made some really clever moves carving out a career away from Love Island.
“She showed a different side to herself on Dancing On Ice last year.
“There are production companies who’ve been in touch with her team about setting up some new opportunities for her.
“Davide doesn’t want to be outdone and has been putting himself out there too.
“After they broke up he’s been pestering people about a chance to get on TV.
“But given Ekin-Su is seen as the better signing, he might not get a look in.”
It’s harsh, but true.
As they say, all is fair in love and war . . . and reality telly.
CELINE Dion’s struggle with disorder stiff person syndrome, which causes muscle spasms, will be laid bare in a revealing new documentary on Prime Video.
The Canadian singer said: “This last couple of years has been such a challenge for me, from discovering my condition to learning how to live with and manage it, but not to let it define me.
“I decided I wanted to document this part of my life to try to raise awareness of this little-known condition to help others who share this diagnosis.”
Today Prime also announced Anne Hathaway’s latest film, The Idea Of You, will premiere on May 2.
FANS of Amy Winehouse will be able to celebrate the best of her music as her live band is heading back to her native North London for two shows.
The group, who worked as music consultants on the biopic about the late star’s life, will play Koko in Camden on December 20 and 21.
Tickets on sale on Friday.
Drop red gorgeous
KYLIE Jenner is the only woman who makes red tights look good.
The American reality star wore the bold look to sit front row at the Jacquemus “Les Sculptures” fashion show in Paris.

Kylie, who has become a multi-millionaire thanks to her huge cosmetics business, has been living the high life in the French capital for the past week with daughter Stormi.

The youngster, who will turn six next month, is already proving to be a little star and wore a matching red outfit next to her mum at the show.
I’m not sure how many sweets Kylie would have needed to bribe her with to sit still for that long, but I bet it was more than a tube of Smarties.
