Soap star Jacqueline Jossa is due to give birth very soon, and while she waited she decided to have some fun with her bump!

The Eastenders actress, who is expecting her first child with TOWIE star Dan Osborne, posted a picture last night of her belly painted to look like a giant Kinder Surprise:

So sweet… literally! Dan got in on the action too with this picture, which Jacqueline captioned, "our little kinder surprise."

Although the couple went through a seriously rocky patch last year and both took to their social media accounts to vent frustrations, it seems they are back on track. Dan recently spoke out about a tweet he had posted which read "Relationships do not seem to work," saying he feels differently now.

"There have been times when I’ve spent loads of time with Teddy [Dan's son] and I’ve been funny with Jackie or not really spoken to her," said the 23-year-old. He added that the couple are now head over heels in love once again, admitting, "Now we say it about 300 times a day.”

We're glad to see the couple getting excited together about the imminent arrival of their new little one – it won't be long now!

Irish group Kodaline proved they can sing just about anything and make it sound soulful when they performed on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge yesterday with Fearne Cotton.

The All I Want hitmakers recorded an incredible mash-up that included Ed Sheeran's Sing, Mark Ronson's Uptown Funk and Taylor Swift's Shake It Off, as well as their own song Coming Up For Air.

Have a listen – we can guarantee this will improve your rainy Wednesday by about 200 percent.

Naya Rivera might be almost a year into her marriage with Ryan Dorsey, but the drama still continues with her ex Big Sean.

The rapper has blasted claims he stole from Naya after their break-up, saying she had caused "unnecessary drama" with her lies.

The couple split last year when Big Sean unexpectedly called off their wedding "after careful thought and much consideration," saying he wished Naya "nothing but the best." Shortly after the split, the Glee star posted (and later deleted) a tweet accusing Big Sean of stealing a Rolex from her house.

The tweet, posted on April 9 of last year, read "@bigsean stealing rolexes from a lady’s house now. Maybe cuz I’m on Glee and making more money or something. #triflin.”

However Big Sean says he never took any of Naya's property, and certainly not her Rolex. "First of all, why would I have to steal a Rolex?" he said in a recent magazine interview. "Second of all, every Rolex that I have, I have receipts for, papers for, certificates of authenticity for. I would never steal a Rolex from anybody. You see [Naya's] tweet got deleted in like 20 seconds."

Speaking about the accusations, the 26-year-old rapper said, "I felt like it was unnecessary drama because in my eyes it wasn’t true… Even though I didn’t steal anything, I wasn’t surprised by it.”

Since their shock split, both stars have moved on with other people. Big Sean is currently dating singer Ariana Grande, while Naya went on to marry her new fiancé Ryan last July – on the day she had originally been due to wed Big Sean. Ouch!

It can be hard to find the time to fit in a breakfast as we rush around in the mornings before college or work. Sometimes, the choice between mascara or toast can be just too much.

However, a new study has found it may be in our best interests to make sure we fit a breakfast in as those who don’t go on to ingest an extra 250 calories a day!

In aid of Breakfast Week, the research found that skipping breakfast and eating extra snacks throughout the day could eventually lead to a weight gain of two stone over one year – wow!

The study also found that when we skip breakfast, we are much more likely to reach for an unhealthy snack throughout the day to make up for it.

There are so many other great reasons to make sure you eat breakfast in the morning from concentration levels to energy levels. It sounds like it may be worth getting out of bed that little bit extra in the mornings!

Here are some healthy and easy breakfast ideas to get you started.

Big Brother star Josie Gibson may have turned her weight loss into a successful business plan with her new fitness website, but she said it didn't do much for her personal life.

The TV presenter, who featured in the 2010 series of Big Brother, dropped from 16 stone to 10 stone back in 2013, but says she was happy to gain some weight back as her fiancé Luke Sanwo likes her curves.

"A couple of years ago he went right off me because I'd lost too much weight and he said my face looked like I was on drugs," Josie said.

Harsh, much?!

The 30-year-old regained around 9 lbs of weight and muscle mass last year, leaving her with her current, enviably toned figure.

She says her weight loss and fitness regime was spurred on by some unflattering bikini shots of her which surfaced online. The star was shocked by the images, calling herself a "beast" and deciding to go on an extreme health kick.

Last year Josie released her own diet book, and has now set up a website to help slimmers stay on track.

We do admit that she's looking fab, but we hope she realises that weight and appearance aren't everything!

When it was announced last year that a third Ghostbusters film was in the pipeline AND that it would have an all-female cast, we just about exploded with excitement

Well, that cast has finally been announced, and it has definitely lived up to expectation. 

As predicted, Melissa McCarthy will star in the Paul Feig-directed movie, alongside comedy heavyweight Kristen Wiig and her fellow SNL stars Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. WIN!

Although the news has not been explicitly confirmed, Paul tweeted this collage of the four actresses yesterday, strongly hinting that they were the chosen stars:

Given that Paul was the mastermind behind Bridesmaids, it's no surprise that he chose to cast Melissa and Kristen together… for their dancing skills if nothing else:

The film is set to be released in July 2016. We can't wait for the first teaser trailer!

Taylor Swift is the latest victim of the Lizard Squad hacking scandal, led by an anonymous group who claim to have taken down a number of high-profile websites over the last week.

Last night the singer's Twitter and Instagram accounts were hacked, with the hijackers sending (now-deleted) tweets and unsettling pictures to many of Taylor's fans. Many of the tweets requested that users follow the accounts @lizzard and @veriuser to receive a follow back from Taylor herself.

Despite being on holidays in Hawaii with girlband Haim, the singer was quick off the mark to alert fans to the issue, posting a message to her Tumblr about the hacking. "Well now I'm awake," she wrote. "My Twitter got hacked but don't worry, Twitter is deleting the hacker tweets and locking my account until they can figure out how this happened and get me new passwords. Never a dull moment."

"Now Instagram," she added shortly after. "This is going to be a long day."

To make matters worse, it appeared that the hackers were also threatening to publish nude photos of Taylor on her social mediaa accounts. The singer was one of the few celebrities unaffected by last year's massive nude photo leak, and she seemed confident that these latest claims were unfounded, posting this message once her Twitter account was live again:

Touché!

Ever the professional, the singer finished things off by referencing her hit song, Shake It Off:

All in a day's work!

Lesley Cosgrave hails from Dublin and is the lovely face behind beauty and lifestyle blog, Bellinis and Blush.

The talented blogger loves to promote confidence as well as sharing all of her beauty tips and tricks. Check out Bellinis and Blush for the inside track on all things beauty and life, from food to fashion and everything in between!

We had a chat with Lesley and put some tough questions to her – which she nailed! She even let us peek inside her make-up bag – check it out! 

1. What's your best budget beauty buy?
I’m a huge fan of Rimmel foundations, in particular the Wake Me Up and Lasting Finish range. Lasting Finish is perfect for both day and night and it does what it says on the tin, it lasts! A huge thing for me as I tend to not touch up my make up during the day. Both excellent products and super affordable! Special mention goes to Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet lipsticks, INCREDIBLE LASTING POWER! Great for a special occasion or a big night out.

2. What's your top make-up tip?
It’s all about that base! Commit yourself to a regular skin care routine and REMOVE YOUR MAKE UP BEFORE BED! Cannot stress that point enough. If your skin is in tip top condition, your make up will apply like a dream, look better and last longer.

3. Do you have a favourite all-round beauty product?
Ooh this is like Sophie’s Choice!! Clarins Beauty Flash Balm is a super all round product. I mostly use it as a primer make up base, but it does an amazing job as a mask and as a moisturiser. It really wakes up your skin, smells beautiful, feels fresh and invigorating and gives the illusion of a full night’s sleep. It’s not the cheapest product, but a little goes a long way. I usually get months out of a tube and I use it every single day. A close second is Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream, everyone should have a tube of this in their stash!

4. What's your earliest beauty memory?
My earliest beauty memory was watching my mother do her make up! She was so glamourous and always had her make up on, nails painted and hair perfectly coiffed after using her heated rollers. I always remember she would dot lipstick on her cheeks and blend with her fingers, in place of a traditional powder blush! Glammy Mammy she was, I believe my love of beauty stemmed from her.

5. Most girls have a signature scent – what's yours?
I have a ridiculous amount of perfume on rotation, I use them depending on my mood or the occasion. My go to fragrance would be Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh. It’s the perfect scent for both day and night. I’m a huge fan of really fresh, clean scents and this one never fails me.

6. What's in your make-up bag right now? Can we have a peek inside?
This is my regular everyday make up kit, but I do like to glam it up for nights out with darker eyes and a bold lip!

  • Define & Conquer Contour Kit from Seventeen
  • Doll Eye Mascara from NYX
  • Lasting Finish Foundation from Rimmel
  • Beauty Flash Balm from Clarins

Ah, house-hunting. Things always start off so well with dreams of bay windows, heaps of natural light and giant cloud-like beds.

Then all of a sudden you find yourself handing over your entire month's wages as a deposit for a glorified prison cell that smells like old cheese. The joys!

If you're unlucky enough to be looking for a new rental at the moment, here are some of the stages you're no doubt going through…

1. False hope
I know the markets tough, but I'll probably get lucky, right? RIGHT?

2. Trying and failing to find ANY houses on Daft, let alone nice ones
But the world is full of houses? Why in God's name are none of them up for rent?

3. Re-evaluating your budget after about five minutes of searching for places
So… we're going to need to rob a bank. Now.

4. Going to some seriously dodgy house viewings…
"Oh, yeah, I love this kitchen-dining room-bathroom-bedroom combo. It's so cosy."

5. And yet still having to queue behind fifteen other hopefuls
Why, cruel world?

6. Frantically emailing landlords within ten seconds of a new listing going up on Daft
SOMEONE WILL ANSWER EVENTUALLY

7. Finally getting an offer in AND getting accepted
Your prayers have been answered! Who cares how much the deposit is? We just won't eat for a few months.

8. Hiding your depression at the fact that your new place is really very grim
Oh… it's fine. We'll just hang up some fairy lights and have loadsa candles. It'll be FINE. *runs away sobbing*

This is epic!

The Sex and the City series has been finished for over ten years now, and we miss it at least once a day.

That is why our days were completely made when SATC actor, Ron Livingston, or as we know him, Berger, posed for a photo holding a Post-It that read: “I’m sorry, I can’t, don’t hate me.”

The photo is of course a recreation of THAT time Berger broke up with Carrie over a Post-It, after which she is caught by the police smoking a joint but is let off thanks to the Post-It. A fine episode, I think we’ll all agree.

Nicely played, Berger, nicely played. We wonder if Carrie has anything to say about this!

Lauren Goodger would like you to know that she did NOT dye her hair dark brown so she would look like Mark Wright’s fiancée, Michelle Keegan, okay?!

According to the TOWIE star, when she shared photos of her new hair colour on Instagram, she was accused of trying to copy her ex-fiancé’s wife-to-be, Michelle.

 In her new! column, Lauren slammed the rumours, saying: “Some silly people have accused me of trying to look like Michelle. Oh please! I don’t think I look anything like her, nor am I trying to. I’m happy with being me. I’m allowed to dye my hair. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”

While we completely agree with Lauren, of course, we wonder why she felt the need to address the issue at all! Why give it the time of day, after all!

Lauren has said that she loves her new look, explaining that she feels more sophisticated as a brunette: “Everyone has told me they really like my new brunette hair and so I’m happy with it … People have said it makes my eyes stand out and I feel more sophisticated with darker hair.”

It is a lovely colour!
