Joan Higham is an 82-year-old reveller who raised the roof on the party island alongside her 21-year-old granddaughter, Emma Taylor.

She even attended celeb haunt O Beach (formerly known as Ocean Beach) where she posed for a photo with Ibiza legend Wayne Lineker. 

Emma, a pro footballer at Blackburn Rovers, couldn’t resist filming her fun-loving gran embracing the party culture on their holiday. 

She beamed that her nan is “one of the girls”. 

Joan was pictured in a swimming cozzie, white shirt and trendy sunglasses while she danced. 

Her good vibes even attracted the attention of young men in the O Beach VIP section. 

“The only event my grandma came to was Kisstory at O Beach and she loved it,” Emma tells.

“My grandma has been to Ibiza before, and we plan to make this a yearly girls’ trip with more people planning to come next year.

“I’ve had multiple messages saying how this has inspired others to do the same.”

The family, from Wigan, had decided to celebrate their big birthdays together and bring their pals of all ages along. 

Joan got stuck in to the action with the young members of their group, proving that age is just a number. 

Emma’s video of their raving antics went viral on TikTok, racking up over 845,000 views and nearly 600 comments.

Fans were quick to gush over how “amazing” Joan looks, with some even dubbing her an “icon” and the “Queen of Ibiza”. 

“Dear future grandchildren, this is my goal,” Lindsey Maddison said.

“Please take note! 

“I freaking love this.”

“What a woman,” Skye Fretton said. 

“I love this,” Sarah Sinclair added.

“Age is just a number.

“What a vibe.”

A TEENAGE horse breeder is going back to school £70,000 richer – after he pulled off a ‘phenomenal’ coup at the sales.

Ruairi Kilmartin was the star of the show at the Tattersalls Somerville Yearling Sales with his Dark Angel foal.

Ruairi, who works at his dad Dermot’s Kildallan Farm in Westmeath, Ireland, bought the filly for just €7,000 – a shade under £6,000.

But he was left chuffed to bits after flogging the horse for £73,500 (70,000 guineas), a profit of almost £70,000.

It was some return for the lad, who originally was hoping just to double his money on the original purchase.

Interviewed afterwards, Ruairi said: “I can’t believe it.

“When we bought her as a foal I thought I might be able to double my money, but I never thought she’d make that today. I’m over the moon.

“She’s by Dark Angel and her dam is a half-sister to Mehmas, so that’s all speed, and she’s a strong, bulky filly who looked like she’d be able to run fast.

“Heritage House, her full-sister, was in training with the Fanshawes and I saw she’d been placed in a Listed race.

“I thought if she could get some more black type then the filly would be worth a bit more, and luckily she did.

“It’s the stuff of dreams. Expectations were high but low at the same time, because you never know what’ll happen in this game.

“I’m absolutely delighted and it was pretty emotional.

“I couldn’t believe it, I’m just so happy.

“I want to thank the purchaser, Paul Corrigan, and Roger O’Callaghan, who underbid her, as without Roger this wouldn’t have happened, so I’m grateful to both of them.”

But it’s back to the classroom now for Ruairi – although maybe not for that much longer.

With his bank account certainly looking a lot healthier than his classmates’, he seems destined for a career in the bloodstock world.

He added: “My dad always tells me to stick to the books but we’ll see how it goes – I don’t know how it’ll go after today!”

The cost of living is putting a strain on many South African families. Here's where you could save a few rands on your next grocery shop.

Family members of actor James Darren rushed to pay their tributes after news broke of his passing on 3 September.

But who is James’ wife Evy Norlund, who the star was married to for over six decades prior to his death at age 88?

James and Evy got married in 1960[/caption]

Who is James Darren’s wife Evy Norlund?

Model and performer Evy Norlund was born in 1938 in Denmark.

In her youth, she was a fashion student and trainee hairdresser, before befriending Danish actor, director and producer Klaus Pagh, who she later became engaged to.

Klaus encouraged Evy to start modeling and in 1958, she was voted Miss Denmark.

The following year, she moved to Hollywood to compete as the Danish entry in the Miss Universe contest.

Though she didn’t win, Evy landed a short-term contract with Columbia studios, appearing in the 1959 circus film The Flying Fontaines as a trapeze artist.

While trying to pursue her acting career – which never quite got off the ground – Evy met James, before swiftly returning to Denmark to break things off with Klaus. 

The pair dated for a year before getting married.

When did James Darren and Evy Norlund get married?

James and Evy got married in 1960, shortly after Evy’s split with Klaus and James’ divorce from Gloria Barbara Terlitzsky.

James and Gloria, his childhood sweatheart, had got married in 1955 and had a child together – James “Jim” Moret – before divorcing in 1958.

After Evy and James’ marriage, the pair settled down in an estate in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, once owned by Audrey Hepburn.

Do James Darren and Eva Norlund have children together?

James had two children with Evy – Christian and Anthony.

He also leaves behind five grandchildren – Amanda, Carly, Matthew, Natalie and Nicholas – and goddaughter A.J. Lambert, daughter of Nancy Sinatra. 

Nancy, daughter of Frank Sinatra, shared James’ obituary on her X account, along with a broken heart emoji as the caption.

However, it was his first son Jim Moret, who he shared with Gloria, who announced the news of the actor’s death.

He told the Hollywood Reporter that James passed away in his sleep at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

He had been admitted to hospital for an aortic valve replacement, but was later deemed too weak for the operation.

Jim said: “I always thought he would pull through because he was so cool. He was always cool.”

Jim is the chief correspondent for Inside Edition, a television news magazine, and a former CNN anchorman.

CELEBS Go Dating fans have let rip at one star – branding them “so desperate for fame it hurts.”

They took aim at one E4 show singleton, suggesting he was “only here for the fee and TV exposure.”

The Love Island alumni then made a cheeky remark which left some questioning if he was just in it for fame[/caption]

It came after Chris Taylor, 34, opened up on using humour as a coping mechanism during the latest Celebs Go Dating episode.

Previously, the Love Island and Love Island All Stars alumni was accused of “disrespecting” women on the TV series.

And he told the experts on Monday’s show he had “taken their advice and went deep” during his date with Daisy-Rae.

He added: “I found out she has never vajazzled, so thats deep,” referring to the intimate beauty procedure.

As the experts looked baffled, fans were quick to react on X.

One wrote: “Chris is only here for the fee and TV exposure. He has no interest in forming a relationship.”

A second put: “I don’t think Chris is really here to find ‘the one’ though.”

A third mused: “Chris is soooo desperate for fame it hurts.”

One then added: “I can’t help but find Chris behaviour so bizarre.

“Totally understand being a little bit eccentric – but he comes across as childish, immature and cringe! The whole act. Weird.”

Previously, Chris admitted his “biggest lesson” learned from the show – and it was all to do with his humour.

While Barbie movie star Chris told The Sun he “absolutely” hasn’t lost his signature wit, he admitted it has been tempered due to lessons learned on Celebs Go Dating.

When asked if he’d ditched the jokes he told us: “Oh absolutely not.

“It’s more of a controlled thing now, so the point that Paul’s making is I would often, instead of answering a deep question about my childhood or my family, make a joke.

“But I wont be doing that any more.”

Talking of his change in response, he added: “I say ‘respectfully I’m not comfortable enough to answer that question.’

“Or, I just answer it. So that’s my growth.”

His co-star Tristan Phipps, who was also present at the chat, then said Chris had “come on leaps and bounds” with his emotional maturity.

A chuffed Chris then said: “Thank you. My boy.”
