Natasha Hamilton has shared a look at her stunning baby shower. 

The former Atomic Kitten band member is preparing to welcome a baby girl into the world with her husband Charles Gay. 

Ahead of her bundle of joy’s arrival, Natasha has shared an insight into her fabulously pink baby shower. 

Posting photos and videos to her 150K Instagram followers, the 41-year-old revealed the special day was ‘perfect’ and that she’s ‘on the final countdown’ before her baby girl is born.

In the gorgeous photos, Natasha is dressed in a red and pink floral jumpsuit to match the very pink theme of the baby shower. 

The beautiful decorations included plenty of pink balloons, giant flower arrangements and lots of butterflies dotted throughout the room. Hamilton’s lovely two-tiered baby shower cake was also covered in pink butterflies and had a topper that reads ‘Baby Girl’ on the top. 

Discussing the wonderful day in the capital of the post, Natasha explained, “Wow, what a day! Filled with so much love, laughter, music, fabulous food and closest family & friends who all made our little girls baby shower just perfect”.

“Thank you so much to everyone who made the effort to come and celebrate with us & shower our little girl with such beautiful gifts”.

The Tide is High singer closed off by adding, “We’re now on the final countdown & we couldn’t be anymore excited to meet you baby girl”.

Natasha also made sure to thank all of her loved ones and small businesses that helped make her party a huge success.

“I would really like to shoutout the incredible women who helped bring together my babyshower and made the whole room look beautiful but for also making things so easy when the whole day had to be moved indoors because of the weather!”.

“Lois @meadows_path your vintage table centrepieces which were absolutely beautiful and made such a statement. Steph @decor_for_dreamers for the balloon wall with flowers and cake stand, such a stunning backdrop for the day”.

“Ronda, @covers_and_bows for bringing in the Chiavari chairs and dressing them. Raamona @raamonamakescakes for the stunning cake that was a taste sensation- red velvet bottom & raspberry sponge with jam & cream on top”.

“@_suzy_page7_ for helping out with the days entertainment which was outstanding @willmaden_dj and The Joe H Trio @joehazlettmusic. @horseradishcr for the delicious food – everyone was raving how good it was”.

“And last but by no means least, Charlie…I told you we were having a garden bbq for the shower and it turned in to quite the event! Thank you for everything baby, love you. We couldn’t of asked for a more perfect day”.

Natasha and Charles announced they were expecting a little one together back in February and revealed it was a baby girl in March. 

Natasha is already mum to 20-year-old Josh, 18-year-old Harry, 12-year-old Alfie and eight-year-old Ella Rose from previous relationships.

Sam Faiers has admitted she’s ‘grateful’ she’s not married to her partner Paul Knightley.

The former The Only Way is Essex star has spoken out about why she’s pleased the pair haven’t tied the knot yet as they prepare to celebrate their 10-year anniversary later this year. 

Sam and Paul share three children together- seven-year-old Paul, five-year-old Rosie and 14-month old Edward. 

While speaking to OK!, the 32-year-old explained why they haven’t gotten married yet and what their future plans are for getting hitched. 

Sam revealed, “I actually feel grateful we’re not married at the moment”.

“Now we’ve got Edward, I’d look back and be sad he wasn’t part of the wedding or in any of our wedding pictures or videos. I feel like it was meant to happen for me this way and I’m fine with it”.

“I know that we’ve always joked over the years and even on The Mummy Diaries – ‘When is the proposal? You need to marry her’, blah blah. I don’t feel like that”.

The mum-of-three continued, “We’ve done the hardest part of a relationship – having three children, working together, living together – and we’ve moved about nine times”.

“When that day does come it will be such a lovely celebration and the icing on the cake of everything we’ve gone through together – the highs and lows”.

Sharing more details of the couple’s possible future wedding, Sam said, “I see myself getting married in Europe, I love Italy”.

“I see it being an abroad wedding with a lovely sunset and an intimate guestlist. I don’t see myself having a humongous wedding. Me and Billie [Sam’s sister] have planned my hen do and I’m not even engaged”.

“There’s a Paris trip, a sleepover at Billie’s, a trip to St Tropez. It’s all been planned out!”.

Sam and Paul will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their relationship in October.

Leah and Montel have been spilling secrets outside of the villa!

The Love Island stars were recently dumped from the Mallorcan villa, after they were voted as one of the least compatible couples by the public.

Since their exit from the ITV dating show, Leah and Montel have been talking openly about their time on the show, including angles that they think viewers have missed.

Now, the couple have revealed that there are contestants that they believe have been misrepresented on the show!

In a recent interview with Closer, Leah and Montel were asked who they think has been judged wrongly by Love Island viewers.

“I would say Sammy, actually,” Leah responded, before going on to explain her reasons why.

“Since coming out, I feel like people are a bit unsure or maybe not too happy with his behaviour and different stuff,” the 27-year-old detailed.

“Sammy is… I always refer to dogs, but he’s a labrador,” Leah laughed. “He’s just got so much energy, honestly he’s so nice and I’m not too sure what perception people have on the outside, but yeah, I think I would say Sammy.”

For his own answer, Montel went on to choose one of his fellow dumped Islanders, Catherine.

“I would probably say Cat, just because Cat is such a lovely girl,” he praised.

“She was like my sister in there, and I think once she came out, people think that she’s harsh or rude,” the 25-year-old continued. “I’m not sure what they think about her, but she’s such a lovely girl. Everything she’s done inside the villa has been pretty spot on to the situation.”

Montel’s comments come after Catherine did her own interview with Closer, in which she explained that she ended her relationship with Scott amicably.

“Scott and I are friends,” she confirmed, before adding: “From all of that, we actually built a good, strong friendship, because obviously the foundation was [there].”

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media Two.

Following the success of Aniar Cooking classes for adults at the Aniar Boutique Cookery School, JP McMahon has launched the Aniar Academy for teenagers aged between 15 and 18 years old.

The course is limited to just six students and will run each Saturday over a six-week period starting this September. Aspiring teenagers who are serious about their cooking will be taught by JP McMahon, a Michelin-starred chef, in a small group to ensure individual attention.

Over the course of six weeks, students will cover bread, meat, fish, vegetables, savoury baking and sweet baking. They will be taught basic techniques such as filleting, preparing vegetables, poaching and roasting as well as more advanced or unusual techniques like pickling, smoking and an introduction to fermentation. They will prepare focaccia, brioche and soda bread along with dishes such as classic roast chicken, beef wellington, chowder, roast leg of lamb and various vegetable dishes, such as celeriac baked in hay with onion purée and wild mushrooms.

JP McMahon says “Due to the success of our online classes for children during the Covid period it indicated there is a demand for classes for teens and young adults. I have always been passionate about promoting cooking as a life skill so whether this course serves as a foundation for the participants cooking into the future or a pathway to a professional kitchen they will reap the benefits of confidence in the kitchen”.

An alumnus of JP’s junior training is Kailum Concannon. Kailum started his experience in Aniar by attending a cooking course with his Mum at the Aniar Boutique Cookery School and was eager to keep learning during his time in transition year. Once his work experience placement was over he continued to be a presence in the kitchen and eventually, once he finished school, it became a full-time job for him. He believes the Aniar Academy will inspire young chefs, Kailum said: “JP has been a great source of inspiration for me, and the academy will help them gain confidence and experience that will hopefully see them continue to work in the industry, there is such a shortage of chefs now so this will help this issue in future”.

There will be two terms of the Aniar Academy over the winter period, with the first term commencing on the 9th of September for six weeks each Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm. Limited to six students aged between 15 and 18 years old. The price for the six-week course is €495 and includes an Aniar apron, a copy of the Irish Cookbook, and a weekly recipe handout.

Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton have been opening up about parenthood!

The former Strictly Come Dancing champions welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Minnie, in January of this year.

Since her birth, the couple have kept Minnie out of the spotlight and have never shown her face in public.

Now, in the latest episode of W’s Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over, the new parents have chosen to get candid about multiple aspects of their life with Minnie.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Kevin Clifton (@keviclifton)

In the episode, titled Family And Me, Stacey asks her partner: “Do you remember that first night was just chaos?”

“Absolute carnage. [Minnie]’s just screaming. We’d been up for three nights straight!” Kevin recalled.

Stacey then went on to share that she was “a total wreck” when giving birth. “I was hysterical going, ‘Is she OK? Is she OK?’ And [the doctor] was like, ‘Babes, she’s not out yet!’”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Kevin Clifton (@keviclifton)

“I don’t want to sound too gushy or soppy, but I couldn’t have done this without Kev. I couldn’t have done this with anyone else,” she praised her partner. “You’ve always loved them but it’s a different love that I have for Kev now. Like my family.”

In the episode, viewers catch a few glimpses of baby Minnie, but Stacey clarified that they will only show the “back of her beautiful head”.

“Me and Kev have had various conversations, you know – do we show Minnie?” the 36-year-old explained. “I want her to be able to give genuine consent. She’s not going to be in the limelight.”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Stacey Dooley (@sjdooley)

In a surprise twist, former Strictly pro Kevin admitted that he would prefer it if Minnie didn’t dance herself, as he is “scared” that she would base her “sense of self-worth” on it.

“I don’t want Minnie to dance. It’s too competitive a world. I would rather she do something else. Anything else,” he confessed.

However, Stacey went on to argue: “I think she’s going to have rhythm because, of course, Kev can dance. I would love her to dance.”

While the episode was on air on ITV2, one viewer took to Twitter to express their opinion on Maya’s hosting.

“Ibr Maya Jama ain’t even a good presenter she’s just leng but she’s hella rude iwl,” they wrote.

Following her stint on Aftersun, Maya noticed the comment and chose to respond to the criticism. 

“Lol if this is the first time you’ve watched aftersun just say that,” she replied.

Many Love Island fans also rushed to Maya’s defence and to praise her quick response.

“I’m not having any of that baby. Just ignore it,” one follower wrote.

“You’re a great presenter Maya,” another added.

The confrontation comes after the TV presenter recently opened up about what being the host of Love Island means to her. Maya made her debut on the show in January 2020, after former presenter Laura Whitmore announced her departure last summer.

Speaking as the August cover star of British Vogue, Maya recalled the moment her manager called to ask her if she would be interested in hosting the ITV dating series.

“It was actually in the middle of the time where I was like, ‘I’m going to take some time off this year and just really align with myself,’ and then that came up and I was like, ‘Alright, time off done,’” she joked.

“It’s a show where I’ve been able to showcase my personality and just have complete freedom with my looks,” Maya added.

“Trust me I do not look this glam 99% of the time, I had glam because these snaps are a little BTS from the OK shoot,” Ferne continued.

The former I’m A Celeb contestant then went on to detail how her life has changed.

“2.5 weeks of Finty, the days are blurring into each other, I am up every 2 hours without fail & most mornings we are sleeping in… but that’s life with a newborn & it’s all totally worth it for this gorgeous girl,” she gushed, before concluding: “We are totally lost in the bubble.”

Gemma Atkinson has shared an update on life since becoming a mum-of-two. 

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant welcomed her second child, a baby boy, into the world with her fiancé Gorka Marquez last week. 

Over the weekend, Gemma and Gorka announced that their son’s adorable name is Thiago Thomas. 

Now that their bundle of joy is a week old, Gemma has opened up about how the family-of-four are adapting to this new chapter in their lives, as well as revealing how to pronounce her newborn’s name after some confusion from her fans online.

Speaking to her 1.9M Instagram followers on her Stories, the 38-year-old admitted, “One week old already, crikey- a week! Gorka’s at Strictly now, day one of rehearsals. Mia’s at preschool, Thiago’s in his pram chilling”.

“I’ve had loads asking how do we pronounce it. It’s Thiago [Tee-ah-go]. Thiago Thomas and he was born on my dad and Janette’s wedding anniversary which is lovely. 

Revealing why she chose Thiago, Atkinson continued, “Yeah, it’s Mia and Tio, three letters. I thought I want to be able to shorten it to three letters and I love the name Thiago”.

The former Hollyoaks actress also added a motivational message for mums by adding, “Keep going mums”.

Gemma had previously teased that she wanted to name her baby boy Rocky, but Gorka wasn’t a fan of the moniker because of the connection to the Sylvester Stallone movie.

“It’s hard though naming a human isn’t it. We only had a girl's name picked out”.

“Rocky’s definitely not going to happen, he [Gorka] won’t have it. I don’t know, it might change when we see him, who knows?”.

When announcing their son’s arrival into the world last week, Gemma and Gorka released a sweet message to both of their Instagram pages that reads, “Little man is here! He arrived safe and sound and he’s utterly wonderful”.

“Mia is already the mother hen we expected her to be [laughing emoji]”.

They continued, “We’re all home together soaking up this lovely little bubble before Gorks has to leave for Strictly rehearsals next week. Thank you for all the lovely well wishes. Our family is complete”.
