I don’t think anyone is disputing that, Helen. Letting young people know about resources available to them if they’re anxious about the threat of nuclear war doesn’t diminish the plight of those who are suffering around the world. It’s ok to do what you can, where you can 🤷🏾♀️
@BBCR1
Shame on you Radio One, thinking about the pain people must be going through having to listen to the news!
Put aside your self indulgence and think about the people that are actually having to live through this in the Ukraine. We are the lucky ones.
🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
@VickNHope

Press release here:
Welcome to the Radio 1 family Vick ❤️
What a night! THANK YOU to the whole
@bbcstrictly
team for this dream come true. We danced our little hearts out, had so much fun & I can’t thank the audience enough for being so bloody amazing! Promise to work 100x harder this week to avoid further discombobulation☺️
#strictly
Our Joe. My JoeJoe. My special, magical, beautiful friend. The stars have gained an extraordinary gift in you.
I’ll see you at the afterparty.
Love you, buddy.
My thoughts are with his parents & Lou; Olly; Ro, Sonny and all the Capital team, I know this morning was tough.
From mental health & grief to education & careers, sex & relationships to racism, Life Hacks is a weekly platform to openly, honestly & thoroughly discuss issues affecting young people. It is community, space where, whatever you’re going through, you can know you’re not alone.
My heart! Thank you Graz for this beautiful choreography, the hair, make-up, wardrobe, set & production teams and the fantastic band, we had the most fun tonight, I hope you liked it too 💗💓💞💕💖💘

This is heartbreaking. Caroline was an amazing woman, warm and kind with so much to give. To her loved ones, I am so, so sorry. She didn’t deserve this, she was hounded and bullied by the press and online, and it is devastating that it came to this. Please, please be kind.
Thank you for the lovely messages about

Kadeena’s message couldn’t be more important. ‘You can’t be what you can’t see’ - and now so many little girls and boys can see it and be it. An honour to witness her success today and I hope this interview inspires all those girls & boys 💗

This will be a painful but vital watch.
Our beautiful, magical JoeJoe was so full of life, which he should still be living. Nobody should feel suicide is the only way out, that there’s nowhere else to turn.
