‘Go big or go home’ say RTE DWTS host Jennifer Zamparelli’s fans as she steps out in €700 ‘statement’ look on hit show
DANCING With The Stars host Jennifer Zamparelli stepped out on air in a “statement” €700 sequin gown.
The Dublin beauty was back on screens last night for Movie Night alongside her usual co-host Doireann Garrihy – and fans were left swooning over her look.
Jennifer looked the part as she appeared in the RTE studios to host week four of the popular dance competition.
The stylish star wowed in a floor length black sequin gown from the designer Self-Portrait.
The dreamy dress had a sleek figure-flattering silhouette as it ruched at the waist.
It also had an edgy cut out across the chest and an elegant high neckline.
The standout Black Rhinestone Mesh Cut Out Maxi Dress costs a pretty penny, with the frock retailing at €707 on their website.
Jennifer opted to style the starry look with a classic pair of black stiletto heels and some diamond earrings.
The former 2FM star had her hair styled in old Hollywood curls and wore a daring smokey eye make-up look.
Taking to Instagram after the show, the 44-year-old wrote: “What a night on @dwtsirl. Big shout out to @siansharkeyhairstylist on hair styling @sandragillenmakeup on make up and styled by @clementinemacneice
“Movie week was a blast! See you next week.”
The mum-of-two then attached a series of snaps of her posing backstage in the RTE studios.
Jennifer was a dream as she gazed off to the side and showed off her fantastic eye-makeup.
Meanwhile, another photo revealed the star giving a sultry look to the camera as she modelled her gown.
And fans and friends all ran to the comment section to share their reaction to Jen’s fabulous frock.
‘ANOTHER STATEMENT’
DWTS judge, Arthur Gourounlian wrote: “Another night, another statement.”
Sian remarked: “Go big or go home Jen! Wow!”
Miranda gushed: “A movie star!!”
While Danni added: “The queen is serving OMG.”
And Kellie said: “Loved this look on you Jen.”
‘It affects 1 in 8 people’ – 40 Day Health Challenge’s Dr Eddie Murphy reveals key indicator of anxiety disorder
BRAVE 40 Day Health Challenge recruit Olivia Fitzgerald brought show viewers to tears when she opened up on an overlooked issue many people face.
The mum-of-four told clinical psychologist Dr Eddie Murphy that her biggest challenge so far is facing others.
Olivia admitted: “I definitely think about what other people think about me.”
Dr Eddie discussed how the Limerick woman needs to have a kinder voice towards herself.
He explained: “So that’s called mind reading. You are trying to think what the other person’s thinking about me. And that’s an anxiety type behaviour.
“It’s a big feature of social anxiety. Sometimes, people in social situations, are always trying to figure what the other person is thinking about me.”
Dr Eddie discussed how these thoughts can be an indicator of social anxiety – and how many people just ignore it.
Social anxiety affects nearly one in eight adults in Ireland, according to Social Anxiety Ireland.
He said: “It’s actually one of the most missed of all the anxiety presentations.
“There’s 13 per cent of people, a huge amount of people with social anxiety.
“There’s very good website called socialanxietyireland.com.
“Some people have very specific social anxiety say like giving a best man speech or something like that.”
Social anxiety was the last anxiety disorder to be “discovered”, which was only formally recognised in 1979.
It continues to be last in terms of public and professional understanding.
Olivia admitted she sometimes had thoughts that she “wasn’t worth it” and hopes to “change that mind-set” during the 40 Day Health Challenge.
Dr Eddie said: “It’s so brave of you to put yourself forward for the 40 day health challenge when this is not your comfort zone.
“Everything you do here is outside your comfort zone, and that is total respect from us. Everything you do, all respectfulness.”
TREATMENT
Experts at Social Anxiety Ireland said exercise has been studied as a possible treatment option for anxiety symptoms – both as an extra treatment coupled with medication or psychotherapy, and as a stand-alone treatment.
The disorder most often surfaces in adolescence or early adulthood, but can occur at any time, including early childhood.
Dr Eddie said: “No matter what you do in this 40 Day Health Challenge, if you come away with all the things, but not the internal peace, then there’s a sadness then for everybody, really.
“We want to see that [peace], and that’s going to be slow. But that starts with compassion.”
The psychologist advised there’s “super strong evidence” to achieving self-peace through journaling.
He said: “What I’d like you to do is transcribe the comments that people did, whether privately or publicly, what they said to you into your journal.
“So I’d like you to do that so and I want you then to look at that.”
POSSIBLE CAUSES INCLUDE:
Social Anxiety Ireland
Genetic Causes: As the condition is more common in families (appears to run in families). There is ongoing research which attempts to find out how much of this is genetic versus acquired learning (if family members are anxious, the offspring will learn that behavior). A specific social anxiety ‘gene’ has yet to be discovered.
Chemical: Scientists are currently undergoing research into what natural body chemicals might be playing a part in the development of social anxiety disorder. Serotonin, a brain chemical, may play a key role when its brain levels are not right or if the patient is extremely sensitive, some scientists suggest.
Brain: Some experts believe the amygdala (part of the brain) may play a role in fear response, resulting in an excessive reaction in patients with an overactive amygdala.
Demographic: Mediterranean countries have lower rates of social anxiety disorder compared to Scandinavian countries. This could be due to warmer weather as well as a higher population density in the Mediterranean countries. Warmer weather may reduce avoidance and increase interpersonal contact. Others suggest that the factors may be cultural.
Negative Experiences: Children who experience teasing, bullying, rejection, ridicule or humiliation may be more prone to social anxiety disorder. In addition, other negative events in life, such as family conflict or sexual abuse, may be associated with social anxiety disorder.

Why Man Utd were forced into nightmare journey back from Fulham with miserable stars arriving in Manchester at 1.30am
MANCHESTER UNITED stars had to be driven back home by coach after their Premier League match at Fulham.
United defeated the Cottagers 1-0 on Sunday thanks to Lisandro Martinez’s winner at Craven Cottage.
The Red Devils were scheduled to fly back to Manchester Airport but the flight was cancelled.
Problems with the airline meant going back home by plane was no longer an option.
And so Man Utd had to endure a THREE-AND-A-HALF-HOUR coach journey to Manchester.
Ruben Amorim’s men faced Fulham at 7pm and the manager finished his post-match press conference at about 9.40pm.
The team arrived back at Manchester Airport at about 1.30AM to get on their cars that they had parked nearby anticipating a flight back.
Some players, such as Manuel Ugarte, seemed visibly frustrated after the horrendous ordeal.
United are training on Monday despite the horrible journey, but have Tuesday off.
Amorim will hold practice again on Wednesday morning before the three-hour flight to Romania.

That is where they will take on FCSB on Thursday’s crunch Europa League clash as they look to seal a place in the top eight.
That leads straight to the Last 16, which is quite important for United amid their ongoing woes in the Premier League.
The Red Devils have plunged down to 12th place in the table, which means winning the Europa League poses as their best chance of gaining Champions League qualification next season.
MAN UTD PLAYER RATINGS: Maguire puts in superb defensive display but Garnacho caught running into blind alleys
MANCHESTER UNITED secured a hard-fought three points against Fulham.
Lisandro Martinez’s deflected strike proved to be the difference in what was the Red Devils’ only shot on target all game.
Harry Maguire impressed but Alejandro Garnacho once again failed to impress in what could have been his Man Utd farewell amid rumours linking him with Napoli and Chelsea.
Here is how SunSport rated the individual performances.
Andre Onana – 7
Good save low down to his left to keep out an Alex Iwobi shot early doors.
Other than that he was barely tested but no glaring errors mean it is a step in the right direction for the Red Devils No1.
Diogo Dalot – 6
Had a difficult time in the first half up against Iwobi who was Fulham‘s main attacking threat.
Switched to the left flank in the second half and supported Garnacho without posing much of a threat.
Matthijs de Ligt – 8
Another strong showing at the back from the Dutchman. Without his support for Dalot, Fulham may have created a goal down United’s right-hand side.
Harry Maguire – 9
A superb defensive display from the England star who has been one of United’s best players since Amorim took charge.
Pulled off a brilliant header at the back post to deny Rodrigo Muniz a certain goal.
Lisandro Martinez – 8
Superb last-ditch tackle to prevent Emile Smith Rowe from shooting as he burst through on goal.
His goal had a big slice of luck as it was deflected past Bernd Leno but credit to him for having the audacity to shoot.
Noussair Mazraoui – 7
Solid at the back and tried to get forward when he could. United looked more balance with him on the left and Dalot on the right, although the pair swapped at half-time.
Manuel Ugarte – 6
Showed some nice touches and was a bit of a menace in the middle – in a positive and negative sense. Kept a close eye on Smith Rowe and allowed him no time on the ball.
Booked for a foul on Adama Traore and was taken off shortly afterwards with an injury.
Bruno Fernandes – 5
Not at his best. Barely saw the ball in the first half and was not very effective when he did get it.
Amad Diallo – 6
Looked bright on the ball and United’s only real outlet going forward.
He worked tirelessly and pressed really well – his hard work paid off when he found the back of the net in stoppage time but his effort was chalked off.
Alejandro Garnacho – 3
Was cautious on the ball and ran into blind alleys too often. Final ball let him down on the rare occasion he did manage to beat a defender.
Rasmus Hojlund – 4
His hold up play is nowhere near good enough for this system or for a club like United.
He was too gung-ho at times and his erratic nature meant linking up with Amad and Garnacho proved difficult.
Hauled off before the hour mark which says it all about his performance.
Subs:
Leny Yoro (for De Ligt, 58mins) – 6
A more assured display given his shaky start to life in the Premier League.
Joshua Zirkzee (for Hojlund, 58mins) – 5
Like Hojlund he had a difficult time holding the ball up but United improved with him on the pitch.
Toby Collyer (for Ugarte, 76mins ) – 6
Solid display again from the youngster who was often in the right position to clear, including one on the line to stop a Joachim Andersen header from going in.
Kobbie Mainoo (for Garnacho, 80mins) – 6
Provided energy in midfield and shored things up alongside Collyer.
A brilliant one-two with Amad set up the winger to score before VAR ruled Amad offside.
Tyrell Malacia (for Mazraoui, 80mins) – 6
Brought on in an unfamiliar right wing-back role but did what was needed to see out the clean sheet.
Son appears in court charged with murdering his dad, 75, who was found stabbed to death at £3.5m Putney home
A SON has appeared in court charged with murdering his 75-year-old dad who was stabbed to death at his £3.5million home.
Mark Talbot was discovered at the property in Deodar Road in Putney, South West London, in the early hours of Friday morning.
His son Rory Talbot today appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court via video link from custody charged with murder.
The 30-year-old spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during a short hearing.
Talbot, wearing a grey t-shirt, was remanded into custody to next appear at the Old Bailey on Wednesday.
The horror unfolded at around 3.30am on Friday when police were called to the luxury home following reports of a stabbing.
Tragically, Mark couldn’t be saved and was declared dead at the scene.
According to Companies House, Mark was the director of architecture firm Stoutheart for more than 30 years and owned a number of properties.
Tributes have now flooded in for Mark – including from his devastated family.
They said: “We are grateful for the support provided by police, our neighbours and others.
“We ask that our privacy is respected while we come to terms with the tragic loss of a highly respected member of the community.”
The Met Police previously confirmed the horror was an “isolated threat”.
They also appealed for anyone who saw anything at around 3am on Friday to get in touch.
A spokesperson added: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mark Talbot who have been affected by this tragic incident, and who continue to receive support from specialist officers.”
My £4 B&M buy is a saviour for drying clothes in winter – it takes up NO space & works way quicker than a normal airer
A MUM whose family of four live in an “average” three-bedroom house has revealed her genius space-saving hacks.
And top of Hannah’s list is a £4 B&M buy which is perfect for drying clothes in winter.
On her @everly_andme page, Hannah showed off the savvy product, which saves you having to put up a large clothes horse around your home.
She wrote: “Affordable space saving ideas for your average semi-detached in the UK.
“As a family of four in a three-bed home (with 2 dogs and 3 cats) we crave storage space, particularly with one being a toddler and during the winter months.”
Thankfully her B&M find saved the day.
Hannah explained: “Over the radiator drying rails.
“Nowhere to put a freestanding rail in the winter without it getting in the way?
“No problem. £4 B&M.”
The mum showed how she adds the rail over her staircase bannister to dry clothes using the dead space.
She explained: “Heat rises right so the clothes will dry quickly!”
Next up, she swears by keeping shoes hidden away using Ikea’s £89 Hemnes unit.
Not only does the slim cabinet take up very little space, she also loves it for decor purposes.
In her daughter Everley’s room, she swears by cube storage units to keep her items tidied away.
She picked up her blue cubes from Homebase for £33 each.
Hannah added that she’d also seen some good DIY hacks using the cubes, including people adding feet and doors.
Other items she has in her toddler’s room are a Lazy Susan and A5 folders, that can be used to keep puzzles or games inside.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, she uses the space above her cabinets for baskets from The Range, which are three for £15.
Hannah explained: “I HATE seeing mess above cupboards but this allows me to use the space and tolerate the look.”
