Geordie Shore star Marnie Simpson has revealed that she feels guilty after lashing out and physically abusing her fiancé, The Only Way is Essex star, Ricky Rayment.

The 23-year-old admitted her regret after the incident where she said she kicked him in the stomach.

The couple got engaged in June after just six months of dating, but Marnie has explained how it’s not always smooth sailing in their sometimes turbulent relationship.

Speaking to Star magazine, Ms Simpson revealed that “We argue over stupid things. One time I kicked him in the stomach and I felt really guilty.”

She added, “I almost cried about it. He was upset.”

But apparently Jessica Wrights ex-boyfriend doesn’t hold too much of a grudge. Marnie gave a little too much information when she told the magazine just how they get over their fights.

 

The love I have for him is unreal.

“When we have an argument we just laugh about it and then have make-up sex!”

Gary Beadle’s former flame also admitted that she is planning on tying the knot sooner rather than later. 

“[We’re getting married] very soon! I’ve always pictured myself being a young mum and bride,” Marnie said. “I want to marry him, I love him. He’s going to be the father of my kids one day.”

After appearing as a guest on Big Brother's Bit On the Side several times during the most recent series of BB, Irish model Vogue Williams seemed like a natural candidate for the celebrity version of the show.

The new series of Celebrity Big Brother kicks off next month, and although Vogue is a self-confessed "massive fan," she says she's not sure if she could hack three weeks locked in a house with 14 virtual strangers.

"A lot of people have been asking me if I’m going to do CBB and honestly as much as I love the show I couldn’t be a contestant," the Dublin-born model revealed in her latest blog post for Hello! magazine. "I’ve watched the show for years and I couldn’t stand being locked up with people for that long, they would drive me mad!"

The last series of the show was full of drama, with three housemates unceremoniously being ejected – Jeremy Jackson for attempting to remove Chloe Goodman's dressing gown, Ken Morley for using racist language on air, and Alexander O'Neal for using homophoblic language on air. So it's no surprise that Vogue is choosing to stay away from the show, though she says she will definitely be tuning in. 

"I will definitely be watching CBB this year; it’s always so good. I also heard a rumour that Caitlyn Jenner will be in there, how amazing!" the 29-year-old wrote.

Although she won't be appearing on CBB, Vogue said she got pretty flustered when she had the chance to step inside the Big Brother house for filming last week. "I was the most excited person ever," she admitted.

It's been a rocky few weeks for the model and TV personality, who recently announced she was splitting from her husband of almost three years, Brian McFadden. However she has been keeping busy and hitting the gym hard.

"I like to train between 5-6 days a week and I do about 50 minutes each day. It’s just something I always like to incorporate into my day and I treat it as part of my job," Vogue explained in her blog post, giving readers a taste of her usual exercise routine.

"It’s always hard to get motivated when you haven’t been in ages, so for any of you that are trying to get started, I promise once you get into it you will love it." There's no denying that Vogue has been looking more toned than ever lately, so her work has clearly been paying off:

If that picture doesn't motivate you to get to the gym, we don't know what will…

We have long thought of our makeup routine as a type of art form. Who doesn’t feel like a master artist when you get your eyeliner perfectly symmetrical?

However, 29-year old Tal Peleg has raised the makeup game to yet another level. She manages to create the most mind blowing portraits using just the space between her lash line and eye brow.

She clearly does not need a tutorial on how to blend because her creations are incredible.

Tal has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media and every time she posts one of her creations, Tal lets them know what it is that inspired her latest look.

Just look at this magic.

On the occassion of the christening of his little sister Princess Charlotte two weeks ago, a two-year-old Prince George very nearly stole the show.

Looking as cute-as-a-button in a red and white smock designed by Rachel Riley (the €100 piece inevitably sold out within 24 hours) he waved to the crowds, chatted to his great-granny, peered lovingly into Charlotte's pram, and generally proved that he's going to be a serious heart-breaker in another couple of decades. 

Understandably, the accompanying snaps of the day which were released by the British royals after the event, prompted oodles of ooos and aaas from around the globe. 

Taken by the famed Mario Testino, they showed Kate, 33, and Wills, also 33, with their prince and princess in a variety of casual and natural poses.

But if we assumed that we'd been given our fill of gorgeous shots of the picture-perfect Cambridges – how wrong we were!

For Mr Testino himself took to Facebook this afternoon to add to the collection.

The image shows a proud-as-punch Prince William holding on tight to his son as George leans in towards the lens, peering at the camera with his big, brown eyes. 

His lovely mop of blond tresses are swept away from his face, and he shows off a mouthful of white teeth too.

The toddler turns two tomorrow – with a party being thrown for him at his family's rural abode, Amner Hall. 

Peru-native Mario even wished the little royal a happy birthday in the accompanying caption. "The Duke Of Cambridge with his son Prince George, who turns two years old tomorrow," he wrote in both English and his native Spanish.

This photograph captures a very happy moment on what was a special day for The Duke and Duchess and their family. They are very pleased to share this picture as they celebrate Prince George's second birthday.

Kensington Palace said today in a statement: "The photograph shows The Duke of Cambridge holding Prince George in the gardens at Sandringham House.

"It was part of the series of official photographs taken by Mario Testino following Princess Charlotte's baptism on Sunday July 5."

Happy birthday, little prince! Here's to many more amazing photographs.

After being linked to Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez and a string of other girls, it seemed Niall had gone for someone a little more low-key when he was spotted getting flirty with a mystery blonde last week.

Now though, Niall's newest love interest has been revealed, and it turns out she's about as close to a celebrity as they come. LA-based Raquelle Stevens has known Selena Gomez for years, calling her part of her "second family," and the two are often seen hanging out together on Instagram.

Socialite Raquelle is also a pal of Cody Simpson and Ashley Tisdale, so it's no surprise that her and Niall ended up meeting after moving in the same circles.

 

This precious one

The pair were first spotted together last week as they left Nobu restaurant with a group of friends. They stayed close as they left the restaurant, with Niall even pulling Raquelle in for a hug at one point.

Just days before his outing with Raquelle, Niall and Selena met for lunch in LA, fuelling even more romance rumours. But considering Selena has been spotted with her ex Justin Bieber on more than on occasion over the last month, it's pretty clear where her interest lies.

If something is indeed going on between Raquelle and the One Direction singer, it will have to be mainly long-distance for now as the band kick off a packed US and Canada tour schedule over the next few weeks, before heading to the UK and Ireland in September and October.

The next season of Made in Chelsea is being filmed in Los Angeles and along with shark scares and relationship woes, it looks like there will be even more cause for excitement.

While nothing has been confirmed yet, it is looking VERY likely that Ollie Locke and Gabriella Ellis (who has renamed herself London Ellis) will be joining the cast for the summer season.

It is no real surprise that Gabriella would feature, given that she lives in LA now and she made a surprise appearance when the gang went to New York, this time a year ago.

And the bigger give away – Gabriella has posted photos of her having lunches with Binky and the group State Side.

But what’s more surprising are Binky’s photos and video of Mr Locke arriving in Los Angeles. Ms Felstead posted a video of Ollie in LAX airport and captioned it “HE’S ARRIVED!”

She may have just turned two, but North West is already accustomed to a pretty lavish lifestyle with a whole team of staff employed to ensure she and her parents look their best at all times.

While we can just about cope with the toddler having her own stylist, and getting meals made by her parents' personal chef, this latest development had us thinking things had gone a little too far. According to new reports, North's mum Kim Kardashian has hired the little one her very own personal trainer.

Before you get too stressed thinking of poor North sweating on the cross trainer, don't worry, as it seems Kim has just asked one of her own team of trainers to work with North a couple of times a week after her own session. "They teach her [North] fun stuff like stretches and other basic aerobics, nothing strenuous," a source told RadarOnline.

While most toddlers get enough exercise in simply by running around all day, Kim apparently wants North to get used to a regular workout routine early on in life. The reality star "thinks it’s perfectly normal to want to get North in shape at such an early age," the insider adds.

And there's no shortage of trainers to choose from, as Kim has reportedly upped her own fitness regime now that she's pregnant, adding a larger team of exercise gurus to her payroll.

Over the weekend Kim revealed that she had so far gained 20lbs in her first 20 weeks, but so far her baby bump seems very modest indeed:

We don't mind Kim wanting to stay in shape, but maybe she should leave Northie to her own devices for now?

Getting out of bed is never easy. Never.

Even the days that you don’t feel too groggy and tired, there is still nothing pleasant about having to emerge from the warm comfort of the duvet.

But alas, rise we must.

Here are six easy tips to help you take the plunge and dive out of bed first thing in the mornings.

Drink water before you go to sleep

Filling your body with fluids is a great way to get you out of bed in the mornings because (as much as we try to resist) you will inevitably lose the battle and have to go to the bathroom. Then it is just important to actually stay up and not scurry back under the covers. However, if you wake up in the middle of the night to go it won’t be very helpful in the morning so try keeping a glass of water beside your bed and drink this during the night.

Keep the curtains a little bit open

This is almost a cruel trick to play on yourself but allowing a little sunlight in in the mornings will make it a whole lot easier to peel yourself out of bed. Aside from waking up with the light, the sun is the best source of vitamin D which provides you with energy. So letting the rays at you before getting out of bed will give you the extra little kick you need. 

Eat before going to sleep

If you usually eat dinner hours before going to bed, it is inevitable that you will be really hungry by the time the morning comes. This hunger will add to your tiredness and make it that much more difficult to get out of bed in the mornings. Trying eating a small low-carbohydrate food such as cottage cheese, nuts or yoghurt.

Jazz up your alarm clock

Waking up to the horrible sound of your screeching alarm clock instantly puts you in a bad mood and that is no way to start your day. Try putting a song you like as your alarm tone instead and it will give you happy connotations first thing in the morning. Although, maybe don’t put your favourite song as your alarm bell as the chances are you’re going to get sick of it at some point!

Put your alarm clock on the other side of the room

Lots of us don’t like doing this because it feels like inflicting torture on our waking selves before we have even gone to bed. But, it does work. Not being able to hit that dreaded snooze button with ease will make a huge difference to how easily you roll out of bed.

Get your caffeine fix

Kick the morning grogginess with some caffeine first thin. A cup of coffee is good but a green tea is even better.

This is one show we never expected to see again but according to reports, a reboot of Xena: Warrior Princess is allegedly in the works.

Although, it is still in its earliest stages. According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC is considering a “modern reboot” of the series and they are currently looking for a writer before they can begin any work.

It is also suggested that the new show would go ahead with the involvement of Lucy Lawless, the actress who originally played Xena, although it is not yet known in what capacity.

The report also suggests that the original show’s producers, Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi are on board.

 Ms Lawless is a supporter of a reboot but she is sceptical that it is actually going to go ahead.

Speaking at Comic Con earlier this month, the 47-year-old actress said “They’ve got to bring that back. I’ve been pitching that show this weekend.”

However, in the wake of reboot rumours, Ms Lawless took to Twitter to warn fans of the show not to get their hopes up just yet, saying that it is (at least for the moment) just a rumour.

We’re still optimistic that it will be back. That was some serious ‘90s girl power!

We often spend hours scrolling through countless images of our favourite celebrities on the red carpet.

Sometimes (only sometimes, though) a five minute Instagram break even becomes a whole hour of oodling. Oopsies.

And the one thing that is always a topic of conversation after these binges is flawless skin… and how to get it.

Fear not, however! Even if you don’t have an A-list glam squad at your fingertips, we reckon you no longer need one.

Youngblood cosmetics, for example, are a firm favourite of famous faces like Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Alba.

A line of luxury mineral products that are designed to leave your skin feeling fresh and silky without any of the nasty chemical or dyes you usually find hidden in your foundations. Flawless, in fact!

Here, we round-up just some of the secret top tips that A-listers are using to ensure they look their most fabulous every time they step in front of the camera.

 

Mineral Primer: Gwyneth Paltrow

Selected by Gwynnie as her must-have primer, she also notes it as an essential for maintaining your summer glow.

A lightweight formula which smoothes lines and pores, it also gives a flawless base for foundation, allowing it to go on effortlessly and stay put all day. And if you’re stuck, you can even use a few drops to tame unruly hair frizz. Amazing!

 

Pressed Mineral Blush: Jessica Alba

If you want a dewy glow and healthy pallor to rival Ms Alba herself, look no further than this bad boy.

For a rich colour just apply high on the cheeks and combine with Lunar Dust in the Duck shade to your cheekbones for a beautiful glow that is red carpet ready.

 

Brow Artiste Kit: Jessica Alba

 

Oh those brows! Everyone wants their brows on fleek these days. And Jessica also achieves hers with the help of this handy kit.

The dual-ended brush allows you to easily comb your brows into place and shape. Then the tinted wax ensures long-lasting and natural looking brows all day (and night) long.

 

Youngblood Mineral Foundation: Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston’s a fan, so you know this is a good’un. Her make-up artist, Angele Levin, says they both adore this product because of the lightweight formula, so you only need to use a small amount.

As it’s not heavy it blends easily – so if you do need extra coverage you can build it up without fear of your face feeling too heavy or looking too caked.

All of these products, and thousands more, are available on Cloud10Beauty.com. They have a HUGE selection of great brands and they are always on the look out for the next best thing to help your skin, hair and everywhere look and feel its very best.

Rebecca Ferguson has finally opened up about her latest trauma in which a woman that she had considered a friend was sent to prison for stealing from her.

The 28-year-old star broke down in court last month when she explained how Rachel Taylor had conned her out of more than €61,000.

In a new interview with the Mirror, the former X Factor star opened up about her struggles and how she is trying to put it all behind her.

“I finally got justice, but I’m still recovering from it all,” the former flame of Zayn Malik revealed.

“There was so much more to it, and only so much that gets said in court, and I think if people knew everything they would be quite surprised to hear how I got through it all.”

The mum-of-three admitted that she believes it was her faith in people and putting trust in them that allowed Ms Taylor to take such advantage of her.

“I’m one of those people who tries to look for the good in people, but I’ve learnt that, actually, no, some people fundamentally just are not nice.”

A court found the woman who had been posing as Rebecca’s accountant guilty of two counts of fraud and the 54-year-old was sentenced to 16 months in prison.

Rebecca has had her fair share of ups and downs, with the recent court case and a series of unfortunate relationships.

But, while the Glitter and Gold singer is still single at the moment, she says she is the happiest she has been in years.

“I’m doing the new album which I’m really excited about, and I’m just in a really good place. I am the happiest I’ve been in years.”
