Let's be honest – as well as lusting after the brand's exquisite underwear, most of us spend the duration of the Victoria's Secret show drooling over the Angels walking in the iconic fashion show.

And while we all accept that these women are paid to look…well… pretty much perfect, it doesn't come as easily to all of them as the rest of us might like to think.

Commenting on this, Victoria's Secret Angel, Bella Hadid, explains: "It’s crazy because I think that when other people look at all of the VS models or all of the girls who are walking, they’re like, ‘They’re not human. They don’t have any insecurities.’"

"But I think every single girl who’s going to be walking probably has an insecurity," she said while chatting about the upcoming show.

Bella told People magazine that she regrets the effort she has put into her pre-show preparation, and she's already missing the curves she lost in order to attain a 'picture-perfect' Angel image.

'I really didn’t mean to lose weight. Like I want boobs. I want my ass back," the 20-year-old model admitted.

And yet despite appearing to regret her new look, she applauds her determination and willpower to have achieved it in the first place.

"I’ve been eating hard protein every day, and working out for three hours every day. It’s crazy but I think that if you set your mind to something, I think you can succeed."

Gigi's younger sister was also keen to remind the public that despite perhaps overdoing it this time around, she doesn't expect to be criticised for her appearance.

'My weight fluctuates and so does everybody’s and I think that if people are gonna judge, that’s the worst you can possibly do because everybody is different,' she said.

Bella will be walking alongside the likes of Kendall Jenner, Irina Shayk and Karlie Kloss.

Will Smith's father, Willard Carroll Smith has passed away.

Will's ex-wife Sheree Fletcher confirmed the news last night. Sheree was married to Will in 1992 for three years.

She took to social media to post a touching tribute to Willard.

Writing on Instagram, she said: "We're gonna miss you Daddio! You lived & played by your own rules.

"You truly were 1 of a kind! You instilled discipline, and work ethic that has created a legacy in your honour!"

The picture she shared shows Will, his father, and Will and Sheree's son Trey.

Will has yet to confirm the news. We hope Willard rests in peace.

As Christmas is around the corner, it's safe to say the sale of Toblerones are going to sky rocket.

You're pretty much guaranteed to see one in a present, or at work or even in Santa's stocking on the fire place.

However, Santa may not be getting any of the chocolate goodness this year as the bar has changed its shape… and people aren't happy about it.

The BBC reported this morning that Toblerones in the UK have been altered and now sport a larger gap in between the peaks.

Toblerone released a statement in the UK in October: "Like many other companies, we are experiencing higher costs for numerous ingredients.

"We carry these costs for as long as possible, but to ensure Toblerone remains on-shelf, is affordable and retains the triangular shape, we have had to reduce the weight of just two of our bars in the UK, from the wider range of available Toblerone products."

So basically, the 400g bar is now 360g and the 170g bar is now 150g.

And here's what the people of Twitter had to say about it:

However, the new change has yet to be confirmed for Ireland… but we're guessing it's only a matter of time.

Billie Faiers is looking forward to the birth of her second child and has now revealed that she's expecting a baby boy.

The former TOWIE star broke the news of her pregnancy in September and admitted that she's even  more excited now that she knows she's having a boy.

The 26-year-old told OK! that she was shocked when her nurse told her the good news.

"She checked a few times so it’s definitely a boy, We can’t stop smiling. Greg got quite emotional, but he’s over the moon.

At 22-weeks pregnant, Billie is already sporting a gorgeous baby bump, but says she won't be taking any advice from her sister, Sam, when it comes to picking a baby name.

"We want to see him first but we love traditional names like Edward and George. I definitely won’t be naming him ‘baby Greg’ like Sam’s baby Paul.

"We might make the middle name Gregory, but it won’t be a first name."

We're delighted for Billie and her hubby Greg.

In a new statement, Angelina Jolie has said she and Brad Pitt have reached a custody agreement for their six children.

A rep for the award-winning actress told People: “We can confirm that childcare professionals have encouraged a legal agreement accepted and signed by both sides over a week ago.

"In accordance with this agreement, the six children will stay in their mother’s custody, and the children will continue therapeutic visits with their father. This has been determined by childcare professionals to be in the children’s best interest.

“We are not in a position to discuss the details. We hope now that it is clear that the events which led to the dissolution filing involved minor children and their wellbeing, there will be understanding of the sensitivity of the family situation.

"We believe that all sides are committed to healing the family and ask for your consideration during this difficult time.”

However, source close to the couple have told the publication that the former couple have not settled their differences and Brad still wants to push for joint custody.

We just hope the kids are holding up at this difficult time.

Congratulations are in order this morning for Chad Michael Murray and his wife, Sarah Roemer who are expecting their second child.

The pair are already parents to their one-year-old son but not according to a source, they are expanding the brood.

Fatherhood already seems to be agreeing with the One Tree Hill star who told E! News about the type of father he wanted to be to his now, two children.

"I'm a respect first kind of guy, so I think certain things that I want my son to have is just respect and just to be a kind human being."

 

Is it a Rave or Daddy Duty… #daddyduty #Thispacifiermakesmereadyforfootballsunday

Chad and Sarah have kept family life extremely private since meeting on the set of their TV show, Chosen and we don't think that is likely to change with the arrival of baby number two.

Congratulations again to the pair and hopefully we'll get a glimpse of a baby bump some time soon.

It’s been two months since Ruby Rose split with model Harley Gusman, but it seems the Orange Is the New Black star has found love once again with another of her former flames.

After a series of telling snaps appeared online of the 30-year-old Australian with Jess Origliasso from The Veronicas, fans began to speculate that the pair had reunited.

Today these rumours were confirmed when Jess told Nova FM’s Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small that she and Ruby fell back in love while filming a music video for her band’s new track, On Your Side.  

“It's me.  Me and Ruby Rose.  And it is our love story in this video,” explained Jess.

“It's about the dynamic, the highs and the lows of people in love, in a relationship.”

“We have been friends for eight years.  A really long time and it was just honestly the craziest thing,” she continued.

Everyone knows you’re supposed to use a multitude of clever passwords for the various accounts on your computer.

But let’s face it, unless you’re some form of tech-loving coder, constantly coming up with four numbers here and eight characters there probably feels like a bit of a trek.

A new analysis of leaked Yahoo passwords conducted by security expert Dr Jeff Yan from Lancaster University has revealed the ten codes you definitely should NOT be using if you want to protect your virtual information from hackers.

But unfortunately for many of us, these ten passwords look all too familiar.

Check them out below:

  1. 123456
  2. password
  3. welcome
  4. ninja
  5. abc123
  6. 123456789
  7. 12345678
  8. sunshine
  9. princess
  10. qwerty

Former Hills star Audrina Patridge married her long-time partner Corey Bohan during an intimate ceremony in Hawaii on Saturday.

Almost a year after first getting engaged, the popular television personality tied the knot with the pro BMX rider in front of around 100 guests.

The bride stunned in a detailed lace gown which featured a figure hugging body and finished with a soft fishtail kick.  In true island fashion, she tucked a large red flower behind her ear.  

Meanwhile her partner opted for a less traditional look, with a man bun, visible socks and suspenders.

Audrina gave birth to her first child in June this year.
