Shane Long and his wife Kayleah welcomed their third child at the start of the month, after a difficult birth.

And following a week-long stay in hospital, the Long family are no doubt delighted to be able to bring their only son, Jax, home.

Taking to Twitter yesterday to share the wonderful news that their newborn had been discharged, the footballer uploaded a black and white snap of his youngster, writing: “Look who's home!”

It has been no secret that little Jax had a dramatic entrance into the world.

When Kayleah, who is also mum to six-year-old Teigan and two-year-old Erin, announced her son’s birth she took to Instagram to explain that he had to be rushed to the care unit straight away.

“Our little warrior Jax made his appearance yesterday but was rushed straight to the care unit,” Kayleah told followers.

“But he is on the mend after 24 hours and his sisters finally got their hands on him today.”

Thankful to have her son home, the mum-of-three also took to Instagram to share her joy at having all three of her children together. 

"Big sisters first cuddles at home. Daddy's first bottle feed. First pic at home of all 3 of our babies together at last."

Aw, we're delighted for the family!

Having found fame while working as a glamour model, Katie Price isn’t exactly shy about publicising her body.

But the mother of five’s willingness to bare all reached new heights over the weekend when she filmed herself undergoing a non-surgical “bum lift” procedure and uploaded it to Instagram.

Explaining the contents of the video, the 38-year-old Loose Women panellist said: “Here I am on a Sunday having a bum lift with Shane Cooper.”

After forgetting the name of the machine involved, the bare bottomed star asked the celebrity facialist to confirm the gadget’s title, before excitedly shouting “wow, look at that arse” in reference to her own behind.

The post was followed by a similar clip which shows Katie undergoing the same treatment on her thighs.

Once Shane acknowledged that he was “working on the legs”, the former I’m a Celebrity… contestant playfully asked: “Oh, isn’t he lucky?”

While X Factor viewers took to social media in their droves to slam the show's reliance on novelty acts this weekend, the latest contestant to leave the show is much more matter-of-fact about the whole thing.

After losing out on a place in next week's show, Ryan Lawrie appeared to suggest that he knew he'd be heading home if he was to go up against controversial act, Honey G.

Appearing on both This Morning and Lorraine earlier today, the aspiring star took the results in his stride and suggested that the judging panel are more interested in the entertainment value of the show rather than the search for a star.

"I knew when I was with Honey G, I was going home," he admitted while reflecting on his time on the long-running ITV show.

Sounding unperturbed by the results, he added: "I just feel like the whole entertainment production vibe, that was what the judges wanted than me."

Unsurprisingly, when Ryan was asked his opinion of the aspiring rapper, he attempted to be diplomatic, but it sounds like he's as baffled by her success as the rest of us.

"Sometimes she’'ll be really posh and then she’ll be street talk," he revealed. "The accents change. She’s really smart and it's working really well."

"I personally think Honey G… Well, I like to use Keith Lemon as a good example. I think it's a character she has."

Admitting that he was sad to go but grateful to have taken part, he added: "It was a bit frustrating when you’re trying your hardest but I’m happy I got the opportunity."

So, Honey lives to rap another week…

If you spent your entire morning commute cursing the icy conditions which have descended upon the country, Met Éireann's latest update won't do much to cheer you up.

According to emerging reports, we're not likely to see the back of the current weather any time soon, with the good folk behind the nation's meteorological service issuing not one, not two but THREE yellow weather warnings.

Dublin, Louth, Wicklow, Meath and Wexford are the main focus, with forecasters confirming that wind and rainfall will intensify over the course of the afternoon.

It is understood that these counties should expect strong north to northwest winds in addition to heavy rainfall and spot flooding.

And if that wasn't woeful enough, we should also expect sleet and snow overnight while tomorrow morning is set to bring rain and sleet with temperatures expected to plummet to 0 degree Celsius.

Oh, joy!

It’s been just over a month since Vogue Williams was spotted hanging out with actor Laurence Fox on Instagram.

At the time, sources close to the pair claimed that Billie Piper’s ex-husband had “genuinely fallen for” the Irish model, who he met while filming Bear Grylls: Mission Survive last year.

It now seems the singer-songwriter’s feelings weren’t exactly unrequited, as he has been pictured holding hands with Vogue while walking a pair of dogs near his home in London.

However, the photographs are believed to have been taken before the 30-year-old presenter jetted to Iceland with her ex-boyfriend, Al Hester, who is better known as graffiti artist Maser, last week.

Vogue and Maser dated for five years before she met her ex-husband, Brian McFadden.

Just hours after performing on Strictly Come Dancing last Saturday night, Gorka Marquez was the victim of an unprovoked attack in Blackpool.

According to emerging reports, the professional dancer, who was partnered with Tameka Empson, was with fellow dancers Alijaz Skorjanec and Neil Jones when he was attacked by a group of individuals.
 

Speaking to The Sun, a friend of the popular dancer explained: "Gorka and a few of the other dancers were heading to a nightclub to let their hair down after another brilliant show."

"All of a sudden this group of local louts came out of nowhere," the source continued. "One of them punched Gorka in the face and broke two of his teeth."

Confirming the incident, a spokesperson for the show said: "Gorka was sadly the victim of an unprovoked incident in Blackpool on Saturday night but he will be back in training this week and is looking forward to the group routine next weekend."

Stunned by the incident, Gorka's friend expressed disbelief, saying: "This was an entirely random and shocking attack on a group of friends simply trying to enjoy a night out."

According to a source close to Gorka, the dancer, who returned to London for dental treatment, is equally stunned by Saturday night's attack, saying: "He wasn't angry, he was just more shaken by the event."

It is understood Gorka will be returning to scheduled training in preparation for the show's Christmas special.

In a move which won't endear her to many Frankie Bridge fans, Wayne Bridge's ex, Vanessa Perroncel, may be on course to join him in the Australian jungle.

Vanessa, who had an affair with Wayne's team mate John Terry, is reportedly set to join the I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here cast as revenge for being kept in the dark about Wayne's decision to take part in the long-running ITV show.

According to reports, Vanessa, who shares a nine-year-old son with Wayne, is furious that she was misled when her former partner told her that rumours he was set to enter the jungle were nothing more than 'gossip'.

"Vanessa was offered the jungle six years ago and refused. When she texted Wayne to ask him if it was true or not, he told her to ignore the gossip," a source told The Sun.

Apparently, Vanessa is furious that her ex-partner accepted an offer of a reality TV show when she has made a habit of turning them down since news broke she had had an affair with John Terry.

"Now he'll be in the jungle for weeks and she wasn't even told," the insider added "It was only very late in the day that he did admit it. The gloves could come off – until now she's refused many shows."

Wayne is now married to Frankie of The Saturdays fame and shares two sons with the 27-year-old singer.

We wonder how Frankie will take the news…

If this generation is haunted by anything, it’s got to be that infamous blue and black/gold and white dress.

And now, just as torn friendships begin to heal, Twitter has released a new chameleon item of clothing to deliver us another near lethal dose of chaos.

After social media user @positivedemi tweeted about a troublesome pair of flip-flops, people began to question whether the shoes involved were black and blue, white and gold, blue and brown or gold and blue.

Just like the dress and the jacket which followed it, the flip-flops have produced conflicting results.

 

 

And so – in a statement which has the potential to convince some members of the public that they are actively losing their minds – the company who make the flip-flops have revealed that they are in fact…blue and dark blue.

Go figure!

There are certain things that intrigue us, such as champagne flavoured jellies, or gin scented lip balm.

However, while we accept that some things are interesting, gravy flavoured candy canes is NOT one of them.

Before I even begin to highlight my feelings towards this ghastly take on a Chrimbo classic… can I just say…

Gravy is sacred stuff, and should not be used in the flavouring of SWEETS… just ewww.

Anyway, despite my misgivings, some people seem pretty into the idea of gravy flavoured candy canes.

Accoutrements Gravy Candy Canes - 6ct

The innovative folks at Meat Maniac, an online store, have started selling gravy flavoured treats for just $10.95 per box.

Now, if gravy is not your thing- why not try the pickle flavoured candy canes? OR maybe the bacon ones?

While we cannot get down with the idea on beef-flavoured treats, we can't deny how useful these sweets would be in an office prank.

Just a thought.
