Coronation Street’s Kimberly Hart-Simpson struggled to stay upright and at one point flashed her underwear in footage shared to her Instagram account.
The actress, who played sex worker Nicky Wheatley in the ITV soap, looked sensational in a blue Moschino T-shirt dress paired with denim thigh-high boots.

A beer-chugging Patrick Mahomes, liquor-swigging Travis Kelce and the NFL-champion Kansas City Chiefs commemorated their Super Bowl LVII win with a parade on Wednesday. And if the event rivals their last Super Bowl celebration in 2020, as many as 1 million may have been in attendance.
Players, family and Chiefs officials rode in open-air vehicles down Grand Blvd. to a rally at Union Station, the 109-year-old Beaux-Arts style facility in downtown Kansas City. Mahomes, adorned in protective goggles, was seen

In the elegant Rotunda Room, surrounded by marble columns and a sky-blue mural, Block sat across from the dark-haired man who had extended the invitation. A security team that Block had brought with him fanned out around the hotel. After fielding a few pointed questions from the man, Block turned the conversation around.
