She shared with her fans, ‘Nothing or no one will ever be able to prepare you as a parent for NICU’ Jesy – who left the X Factor winning band in 2020 – said her heart broke ‘into a million pieces’ as she wanted to ‘comfort them when they cry.’…

Sitting on the edge of my gran Claudia’s bed, I felt awkward and embarrassed. But Granza, as I called her, took my hand and said, ‘Sarah, life is starting to change for you.’ I was 11 and had just had my first period. My mum and I didn’t have the best relationship so it had fallen to my maternal grandmother to explain what was happening to my body. I’d never been an emotional or expressive kid, but somehow Granza always managed to tap into my feelings. Now, she handed me a candle as a gift, which somehow made this milestone in my development feel special rather than something to be embarrassed about. Soon after, Granza and her partner, Oliver, decided to get married, and my brother Zeke and I walked…

The recent brutal cuts across ITV’s daytime shows have left no one unaffected, even the network’s top names. With Loose Women, Lorraine and Good Morning Britain all facing huge changes in terms of airtime and rumoured job losses of more than 200, a number of long-running staff are said to be upset by the shake-up -especially Lorraine Kelly. It’s claimed Lorraine, 65, turned down an ‘insulting’ offer to merge her self-titled chat show -which will be cut down from an hour to 30 minutes – with GMB and is reportedly ‘prepared to walk away’ and quit for good next year. The programme – which Lorraine has fronted for 14 years – is being cut to the format previously adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. From January 2026, GMB will be extended by…

My weight issues started as a child. I was tall, towering over my friends, which made me an easy target at school. At 15, I was a size 16 to 18. By then, I’d met Peter and we were friends for a year before getting together, and he never cared about my weight. But as I got older, I tried every fad diet going that promised a quick fix, but Peter always made me feel loved as I was. Clothes shopping was a nightmare. I’d go with my friends but never try anything on. By 21, at 6ft, I weighed 16st 5lb. Working in Tesco, I lived off energy drinks, meal deal sandwiches and pastries from the bakery. Then in September 2013, when I was 23, my mum and sister…

A new battle has opened between Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes in their ongoing and protracted divorce – their £3.6 million Surrey home. The 65-year-old Loose Women star has been granted a ‘severance of joint tenancy’, according to publicly available documents, meaning that if she was to pass away before her estranged husband, her share of the house would not go to him. Sarah Dwight of the Law Society explained to The Sun, ‘One of the first things divorce lawyers do is to give their clients the option to sever the joint tenancy, so they can leave their share of the house to whoever they want. This move protects Ruth in that, if she were to die, she can leave her wealth to whoever she wants, rather than Eamonn getting…

James Middleton has candidly opened up on how his sisters Kate and Pippa have supported him through his struggles with mental health. The 38-year-old has previously spoken openly about living with depression and his diagnoses with dyslexia and attention deficit disorder. In a new interview, James said his sisters Kate, 43, and Pippa, 41, have seen him ‘at my best and at my lowest’. He said, ‘Sibling love is something unique, you can’t choose your siblings. It can be complicated, it takes work, but when it’s strong, I believe it’s one of the most powerful bonds there is.’…

He may be one of ITV’s stalwarts but Richard Madeley narrowly avoided losing his Good Morning Britain job amid ITV’s latest shake-up. The presenter was reportedly told that his £300k contract would not be renewed on its current terms when it expires in December before he negotiated a new deal to go part-time, following a showdown with TV bosses. ‘This one has really rocked the ITV corridors because Richard is such a big name and legend of daytime telly. Word started to spread he’d been axed, but two days later it became apparent Richard had a meeting with the network’s most senior bosses and he’s now being kept on in a more part-time role. He’s got himself back on the show – but his hours have been significantly cut,’ an…

I think I've offended her Q I have a friend who has a holiday home in another country. She recently invited me and my family to be her guests for a week in the summer, which is so generous of her. However, my son (15) is gay and it is illegal to be gay in the country that we’d be visiting. I told my friend that we wouldn’t be able to accept her kind offer, without explaining why, but she pushed me for a reason. I guess I could have said we’d already booked somewhere, or the dates didn’t work for us, but I told her the truth. That we wouldn’t visit a country whose LGBTQ rights were non-existent. She seemed quite taken aback, but didn’t say anything, as we were…
