As one of the biggest breakout TV stars in the last couple of years, Scarlett Moffatt has definitely earned her place in the public's heart.

Going from disastrous jobs in call centres to the check out desk in her local supermarket, the Gogglebox star is now sitting at the top of the book charts, but that doesn't mean she doesn't long for days gone by.

The 24-year-old Geordie lass took to Instagram this morning to share a throwback snap which showed a considerable leaner Scarlett larking about as a 21-year-old, and fans were less than impressed.

Noting the change in her appearance, the always hilarious Scarlett, who recently revealed she experiences online trolling, wrote: "A very Skinny Minnie Me.  Ahhhh to be 21 & a size 6 again."

Fans of the star were having none of her this time though and wasted no time reminding her that size doesn't equate with beauty.

"You look much better now, don't listen to any press that think if a woman is a size 10 then she is obese or that if a woman has a slight bit of a tummy showing then she is pregnant," wrote one.

"You look fine as you are as long as you are happy that's great. Personally as a mother of a soon to be teenage girl, I wish there were more celebrities that looked like you so she can see what real women look like and not feel any pressure to be skinny," she added.

Scarlett, listen to your squad.

If you're sitting your Leaving Cert next month, don't forget that as of midday today you will be able to make a change to the choices you made on your CAO form last February.

After sitting your mocks and preparing for your orals, you may have had a change of heart when it comes to your career choices, and now is the time to take another look!

The Change of Mind period begins today and will remain open until July 1st, so don't panic if you're still uncertain as you even have some time following the exams to reconsider your original career path.

Commenting on the facility, Betty McLoughlin is President of the Irish Institute of Guidance Counselors said: "They might say 'I need to put in a plan B… I'm not going to get the points that I thought'. So they might put in a back-road into the course that they want."

Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast, she continued: "That's perfectly normal, and it's great that that facility is available. You have a window of opportunity for about ten days when they have completed their Leaving Cert."

Less than a day after she shared a snap of herself looking pretty awkward at Monday night's Met Gala, the former Disney star has poured her heart out on Twitter in a move which has majorly worried her fans and followers.

In a flurry of tweets which the star posted this morning, Demi made reference to her struggles with bipolar disorder and the harassment she suffers from online trolls, and even went on to suggest that she may want to take time out of the limelight.

"Sometimes there's more shit going on than you see. Maybe you DON'T know every aspect of my life so maybe you shouldn't assume you know," she began.

"Maybe my midnight rants are a part of my bipolar disorder. Can't change being crazy.. But you can press unfollow," she wrote. "Or maybe I rant online because people assume they know things and their entitlement to know makes me feel obligated to defend myself."

Taking aim at the people who taunt her from behind their computers, she blasted: "Imagine the love of ur life/biggest crush finding out u spend time on the internet commenting negative shit about celebrities.. Embarrassed?"

"Imagine your grandparents finding out you spend your free time being an internet troll to celebrities you don't even know," she continued. "Or imagine telling your future children how you spent more time cyber bullying strangers than you did building a better future for them."

Demi's fans wasted no time offer their support to the Heart Attack singer, writing: "You've made such a positive impact on my life and made me such a happier person, i hope we, as fans, do the same to you."

Our hearts go out to Demi this morning.

She may be in a happy relationship with Ben Hanisch, but that doesn't mean Amy Schumer doesn't want in on some saucy TInder action if she can get it.

In a move which was filmed by Vanity Fair, the Trainwreck star took control of assistant editor, Andrea's phone and got to work on her Tinder snarkiness.

Sounding like most of us on a Wednesday night spent swiping with our mates, the 34-year-old actress slammed the name, age and hobbies of almost every one of Andrea's potential love interests. (Because that's just what we do, right?)

Looking freakishly like we do when our mothers get their hands on our phone and actually manage to UNLOCK them, Andrea fidgeted and laughed nervously as Amy basically played God with her future husband.

And then Andrea got a match….

Since hitting our television screens in 2010, Gary Beadle of Geordie Shore fame has dealt with his fair share of rumours, but it looks like the constant speculation into his love life is starting to take its toll on the 28-year-old Newcastle lad.

With rumours swirling that Gary cheated on co-star and on-again-off-again flame, Charlotte, one TOWIE star decided to weigh in on the discussion in a move which has made Gaz feel proper mugged off. (We're pretty sure that's how he'd say it.)

Taking to her column in Star magazine, Chloe Sims laid into Gary, writing: "I wasn’t surprised to hear Gaz Beadle cheated on Charlotte Crosby in Ex On The Beach – he’s done it before."

Furious with the Essex-native, Gay got straight onto Twitter, blasting: "@Chloe_Sims what you sticking your big gums in for you little dirty arse. #youhaventgotacluewhatyourtalkingabout."

Unsurprisingly, Chloe wasted no time hitting back at the Geordie lad, responding: "I was asked about it for my column, as it's in the press, I didn't say anything nasty? Pipe down little boy."

Fans of both reality stars weighed in on the spat, with many slamming Gaz for both his supposed infidelity AND the way he spoke to Chloe.

Ouch, bad week for the Gazster.

Kendall Jenner and her heart-shaped tresses can finally take a step back because as of this week that snap is no longer the most liked photograph on Instagram.

In a turn of events which proves just how much the public want Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez to get married and have teeny weeny children of their own, a throwback snap of the pair having a shift has become Instagram's number one snap.

Justin posted the old photo back in March in a move which got tongues wagging in both the Bieber and Gomez fan camps, with many speculating all was back on between the pair who called time on their romance for good back in 2014.

Fans of the singers have wasted no time drawing Kendall's attention to the snap's new status, with thousands writing: "The most liked photo on instagram. Soz Kenny!"

Jeez guys, we thinks she gets it.

Congratulations to Janet Jackson, she's going to be a mother!

It has been just weeks since the singer announced she's delaying her Unbreakable World Tour to plan a family, and now the 49-year-old is pregnant with her first child, Us Weekly has confirmed.

Her announcement on April 6 read: “Hey, you guys. On August 31, I launched the Unbreakable World Tour. First, I just want to thank all the fans for coming out to see the show.

“We’re in the second leg of the tour and there actually has been a sudden change. I thought it was important that you be the first to know. My husband and I are planning our family, so I’m going to have to delay the tour," she said.

We're absolutely delighted for her!

Facebook have paid a 10-year-old boy a whopping $10,000 (€8,700) after he identified a problem with the company’s photo-sharing app Instagram.

Facebook offers a ‘bug bounty’ for anyone who reports any weaknesses with any of their platforms.

Jani has now become the youngest ever recipient of the prize money after discovering problems with the comments section on Instagram when malicious code was typed in.

“I could have deleted anyone's comments from (Instagram accounts). Even Justin Bieber's," Jani said of the problem.

Jani is even too young to have his own Instagram and Facebook accounts under their terms of service which makes his discovery even more impressive.

Learning how to code from YouTube videos, he is considering a career in data security which he seems to be already highly qualified.

Jani is planning on spending his newfound fortune on a new bike and a football.

If you're a fan of optical illusions then this is right up your street.

Starbucks is known for constantly spelling customers' names wrong but this mishap really takes the biscuit.

Imgur user cuteDummy recently had an iced coffee in Starbucks but, when she looked at the name it seemed to spell something completely different when looking at the inside of the cup.

While it says 'ANNE' on the outside, it reads 'JULIA' on the inside… Huh.

Does some Starbucks employee have mad illusion skills? Just a coincidence? Who knows? But, we're betting the whole thing is way off and her name is Claire or something…

We all LOVE Scarlett Moffet from Gogglebox. And when she recently released her very first book, Scarlett Says, we were delighted that the TV personality was able to bring her hilarity from the TV to book pages.

The self-penned book received a lot of positive reviews on social media, from fans and critics, saying that this book is something to be celebrated.

However, in recent weeks, Scarlett has had to deal with a lot of hate online, from people upsetting her parents (who we love, too) to others body-shaming her.

Well now, if we were Scarlett, we'd be laughing in the haters faces as she has just announced her new book is making its way to number ONE in the book charts.

The 25-year-old took to Twitter to share the good news, telling her fans: "Ahh overwhelmed to say my book #scarlettsays will be number one in the charts this Sunday #CantStopCrying."

Scarlett has clearly put a lot of work into her book, with stories to delight and laugh along to, so it's good to see her coming out on top.

Keep doing what you're doing, Scarlett.

It seems that Justin Beiber can never go too long without getting into trouble.

Between his many driving incidents to assaulting paparazzi, it's safe to say JB has been sued many times.

But now, Robert Earl Morgan is suing the popstar as he claims Justin smashed his phone.

The incident apparently took place in a nightclub in Texas last month, while Justin was on his Purpose World Tour.

Robert claims that he filmed Justin downing a beer bong, and when Justin saw him filming, he was clearly unimpressed and angry.

That's when JB grabbed the man's phone and smashed it into pieces.

Mr Morgan is suing the singer for $100,000 (€87,000) because he lost some business contacts and precious memories which were stored on his phone.

The Beibs just can't catch a break yet, huh?

Niall Horan has been hot in the headlines this week, with the news that he's taking part in this year's Irish Open AND rumours of him managing a new singer.

But now, it seems that he's possibly the nicest guy around because last night he helped some Irish musicians promote their music.

Niall took to Twitter to show his fans what he's listening to on Spotify and the playlist included a long list of Irish artists.

Kodaline, Gavin James and The Academic were among the tracks he played online, and Dublin singer Gavin, couldn't help but thank the star.

Niall was super cute in his reply, saying: "Always support our own don't we gav."

It seems that no matter how much fame is thrown at Niall, he'll always be a sound, down-to-earth Irish lad at heart.
