Newcastle United has rejected multiple offers from Arsenal for midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who is reportedly open to a move.

In an interview with Prima magazine, Snowdon, who is the cover star for the publication's September issue, expressed her enjoyment of her time on Strictly. She indicated a desire for another significant television presenting opportunity, stating, "I would love another big TV presenting gig."

Beyond her interest in Strictly, Snowdon shared her ambition to host a programme focused on midlife makeovers for both men and women. She described this as a show that would "speak to my soul, that helps people not just dress in a different way but also live in a different way."

The TV and radio presenter also reflected on her experiences with menopause, detailing how it affected her career and led to anxiety and panic attacks. She mentioned that these experiences impacted her confidence, causing her to decline work opportunities. Snowdon, who has written about her struggles with perimenopause, now feels she is in a "powerful place" and views her current age of 54 as a "new chapter" and a "second spring."
