Armstrong explained, “We are so excited to meet our new addition to the family, but I just have this feeling of guilt that Orla is going to feel like she’s not as close to me”.

“Which, even reading this as I’m writing sounds ridiculous but it’s just a feeling”.

When previously speaking about her newborn’s arrival and the impact it will have on Orla, the mum-of-two said, “I know Orla is going to be the most amazing Big Sister”.

Congratulations again to Danielle and Tom as they begin this new chapter as a family-of-four.

Neutrogena launches its brand-new face care range, Retinol Boost, designed to help boost your skin’s A-Game by preventing and correcting multiple visible signs of ageing. Harnessing the power of Pure Retinol (a dermatologist-proven form of Vitamin A) for visibly youthful, healthy-looking skin, this comprehensive range is suitable for beginner to expert Retinol users.

Developed with dermatologists, the NEW innovative Neutrogena Retinol Boost formulas blend ingredients that your future skin will thank you for – and are so effective that results are visible as early as 1 week. Neutrogena brings its performance to scientific formulas, delivering top results so you can feel confident that your skin is on its A-Game.

Retinol Boost blends three key ingredients with the aim of achieving maximum efficacy with great tolerability.

  • The powerhouse ingredient – Pure Retinol – is a dermatologist-proven form of Vitamin A. Scientifically proven to stimulate cell renewal at the skin’s surface, it also works to increase collagen production.  As cells renew, skin looks rejuvenated and revitalised, and fine lines, dullness, wrinkles, and pigmentation spots are improved.
  • Myrtus Plant Extract, known for its skin-regenerating benefits, boosts Retinol effectiveness by 83% (vs Retinol alone).
  • The products contain Hyaluronic Acid to intensely hydrate and plump the skin.

The range is made up of 6 products each of which plays a key role in your daily skincare routine: 

Neutrogena Retinol Boost Serum (30ml, €34.99)

This serum improves tone and texture to help skin glow, while targeting multiple visible signs of ageing – including fine lines, wrinkles, dryness, pigmentation spots and a lack of firmness.

Neutrogena Retinol Boost Eye Cream (15ml, €30.99)

The eye cream nourishes skin around the delicate eye area and prevents & corrects multiple visible signs of ageing.

Neutrogena Retinol Boost Night Cream (50ml, €34.99)

The night cream nourishes overnight to prevent & correct multiple visible signs of ageing, for youthful, healthy-looking skin.

Neutrogena Retinol Boost Day Cream SPF 15 (50ml, €34.99)

The day cream improves tone & texture to help the skin glow. The lightweight, multi-benefit day cream absorbs quickly, and targets multiple visible signs of early ageing.

Neutrogena Retinol Boost+ Intense Care Cream (50ml, €38.99)

The care cream is a rich moisturising cream that supports skin regeneration to effectively prevent and correct multiple visible signs of ageing – including even deep wrinkles.

Neutrogena Retinol Boost+ Intense Night Serum (30ml, €38.99)

The night serum contains their highest concentration of Pure Retinol. This super concentrated, fast-absorbing overnight serum effectively targets multiple visible signs of ageing.

Neutrogena recognises the need to simplify the complex science of skincare and provide access to knowledge and derm-backed solutions. Neutrogena Retinol Boost takes the guesswork out of Retinol with a carefully formulated blend of ingredients, designed to deliver maximum efficacy with minimum irritation – so there’s no need to play scientist in your own bathroom to achieve fantastic results.

Rebecca Bennett, Brand Ambassador at Neutrogena, says of the launch “At Neutrogena, we are committed to delivering solutions that will make a real difference to your skin. That’s why we created the Retinol Boost range – we know that our customers value science-backed expertise and are looking for products that are efficacious AND feel good on the skin. With busy lives, they don’t need their skincare routines to add another layer of complexity or confusion. Retinol Boost is a one-stop shop for those looking to maintain a youthful radiant glow.”

Beginners and more experienced users alike can build their Retinol regime with NEW Neutrogena Retinol Boost, to achieve all the benefits of Vitamin A, with clinically proven results. Boost your skin’s A-Game.

Directions for use: 

Pure Retinol is a powerful and effective active ingredient, which can irritate the skin if used incorrectly. Neutrogena Retinol Boost has been carefully formulated with a blend of ingredients, with the aim of achieving maximum efficacy with minimum irritation. Ideal for beginners, but no compromise on results for more experienced users.   For Retinol beginners, gradually phase into your skincare routine. Start with 2-3 uses per week for the first 3 weeks, working up to daily/nightly use as tolerated.

Neutrogena’s Retinol Boost range is suitable for both daytime and nighttime use. Always use an SPF during the day when using Retinol, as it can increase sun sensitivity.  Your key skin concerns should determine your selected routine. For more information, please visit the Neutrogena website.

The NEW Retinol Boost range is available from Lloyds, McCabes, Hickeys and independent pharmacies nationwide.

Now, a few days on from the joyful news, Karlie has finally confirmed a few details about her new bundle of joy!

The 30-year-old took to Instagram earlier today to share an adorable black-and-white snap of toddler Levi’s hand reaching out to hold his new sibling.

In the caption of her post, Karlie chose to include the sweet name that herself and Joshua have decided upon for their new arrival.

“Elijah Jude 7.11.23,” she penned, alongside a blue heart emoji.

Kady McDermott has clapped back at Molly Marsh!

The Love Island star was dumped from the villa on Tuesday night with her partner Ouzy See, after favourites Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki voted for their exit.

Just before her exit, the series 2 favourite revived tensions between herself and Molly, after she appeared to rekindle a connection with ex Zachariah Noble during a game of ‘Snog, Marry, Pie’.

When Kady and Ouzy were revealed as being one of the least-voted couples by the public on Tuesday night, viewers couldn’t help but notice that Molly seemingly smirked at her demise.

Now that she has returned home from the villa, Kady has been looking back at her time on the hit ITV dating show – and she has something to say about her co-star!

Taking to Twitter yesterday evening, the 27-year-old quoted a tweet from a fan which read: “Oii @LoveIsland after seeing mollys smirks and that, run @kadymcdermottx back ONE MORE TIME!!”

“Whilst she was wearing my bikini, make it make sense,” Kady responded, alongside a crying emoji.

Many fans have since taken to Kady’s replies section to express their own thoughts on the feud.

“Girl, we need an explanation?????” one follower begged.

“This year’s love island reunion has too much potential,” another teased.

Kady also took the opportunity to share an insight into her homecoming with Ouzy.

The reality star posted a sweet snap of them looking loved-up, along with some celebratory balloons.

“Best welcome home,” Kady gushed in the caption of her post.

While there was much debate during last night’s edition of Love Island on the decision to send Kazy and Ouzy home, Molly was quick to express her happiness with the decision.

“I mean, for me, you’ve done me a favour. I’ve been struggling seeing Kady around, with the whole Zach thing,” the 21-year-old confessed to the girls, before fellow Islander Jess added: “Molly’s chuffed."

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

Ferne McCann has shared an insight into the nursery she designed for her newborn daughter Finty. 

The former The Only Way is Essex star welcomed the birth of her baby girl into the world with her fiancé Lorri Haines on July 6. 

Now that her bundle of joy has arrived, Ferne has opened up about the ‘chilled’ theme of her daughter’s nursery.

While speaking to OK! about the tranquil room, the 32-year-old revealed, “It's only been decorated a day but I keep walking in here and just feeling ever so calm and balanced – just like Finty and her personality”.

“She's just really chilled. I look forward to spending lots of lovely moments in here with her”.

Ferne then revealed a mistake with the wallpaper in the room that occurred because she just wanted to get the room finished quickly. 

“The wallpaper… I'll let you in to a little secret. Don't look too close. It's meant to be a mural where it goes across, but the guy who came and did the wallpaper hung it upside down”.

“Yesterday I was pulling my hair out. I just wanted to get it done so it looked lovely for this shoot”.

Speaking about the calming space, decorated with muted and neutral tones, Ferne explained, “It feels so tranquil. I'm very much looking forward to sitting here… I might get a little nursing chair”.

As the mum-of-two didn’t find out Finty’s gender while she was expecting, the room is full of beige colours and after some consideration, Ferne is glad she didn’t add pink once her daughter was born.

Credit: Ferne McCann Instagram

“Finty wasn't even meant to be here – she obviously arrived a week early, so we rushed to get it [the nursery] done. Then when she was here, I was like, ‘Should we start adding pops of pink?’. But I'm really pleased we just went with creams and beiges”.

“It's such a calming room. You feel like you're up in the clouds”, the reality TV star added before sharing how excited she was for Finty to have her own little bookshelf in the nursery. 

“I wanted to make sure we had the book shelf there so I can read to little Finty. I'm so pleased with it”.

Gemma Collins has revealed she’s in ‘no rush’ to get married. 

The former The Only Way is Essex star announced her engagement to her fiancé Rami Hawash in December 2021 and has now opened up about their wedding plans. 

While Gemma and Rami do plan to get married one day, it doesn't seem like the big day will be anytime soon for the couple.

While speaking to MailOnline, Gemma revealed she’d rather postpone her wedding for a few more years when she is older because she’s happy with where the couple are at in their relationship right now.

The 42-year-old explained, “For me, there's just no rush! I love JLo, her and Ben tied the knot at 50, they were ready to settle down and put their comfy slippers on, so I'm not probably going to do anything like that until I'm a bit older really”.

“There's no rush! You're a long time married, you're a b****y long time married, and I kind of feel like marriage is sadly – and it is sad – it's a bit old hack now”.

“When you see people going through divorces and all that comes with it, you're like hell no! I do not want that, I can't bear admin anyway, I couldn't be bothered to do the paperwork. So I'm just postponing it as long as possible”.

When speaking about where the couple have considered as locations for their ceremony, Gemma admitted they don’t have anywhere particularly in mind. 

“It could be Claridge's, it could be Italy, who knows! It could be in the middle of the forest, who knows! I'm just cool and happy as we are at the minute… It's just not a priority for me at the minute”.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star then spoke about her and Rami’s plans to have a baby together as she has struggled with PCOS and infertility issues.

“I just have real difficulty, I can't for some reason have children. It's very frustrating, it's very upsetting, it's very challenging”.

“I just don't and can't have kids. It's very stressful, but I need to find somewhere, a good place or clinic in London, that can make that happen for me”.

Gemma, who is step-mum to Rami’s son Tristan, added, “Come on, the world is waiting for The GC's baby, I just need a bit of help to make it happen”.

Holly Hagan has shared a rare insight into her motherhood experience. 

The former Geordie Shore star welcomed the birth of her first child, a baby boy named Apha-Jax, in June with her husband Jacob Blyth. 

Holly has mostly kept her motherhood journey off of social media and rarely posts snaps of her son online, but has now opened up about having to take the little one to see the doctor.

Credit: Holly Hagan Instagram

Opening up to her 4.2M Instagram followers on her Stories, Holly explained that AJ had been making grunting sounds at night and wasn’t the best at feeding at times, so she and Jacob decided to take him to see a doctor. 

Sharing her concerns online she wrote, “Think AJ has reflux which is causing the constant grunting on a night so going to see what the doctor says”.

“He sleeps in decent chunks in the night he barely wakes up so if he could be quieter during that time and I could go to sleep earlier I’d have so much more time to get sh*t done in the day!”.

“Going to sleep at 4.30am when it’s light outside isn’t ideal but I know it won’t last forever once we solve this grunting issue. He's not crying or screaming in pain so I really can’t complain”.

Credit: Jacob Blyth Instagram

The 31-year-old then posted a video of her baby boy making grunting sounds and revealed, “Just to give you an idea of the sound. It's not normal loud baby noises I don't believe”.

“He makes this sound whilst he is fully asleep and that's pretty much all night with some minutes breaks inbetween. will also do it during the day when he has his bottles and throw himself back aggressively”.

Hagan continued, “It's hit and miss whether we have a good feed or not it can take an hour to feed him sometimes! He's not always sick though sometimes he'll have a sicky day and other times he won't be sick at all!”.

“From what people have said it's probably reflux and suggested gaviscon so we will see what the dr says!”.

Credit: Holly Hagan Instagram

Holly then added, “No amount of ear plugs or white noise is drowning him out unfortunately. I'd still clsss him as an easy baby tho atm he never really cries at all id be more worried if he was screaming in pain every day”.

After a long and mostly sleepless night, Holly shared a health update on baby AJ to her fans in a video of her and her newborn having a cuddle. 

She said,  “Good morning, so just a little update. I woke up this morning, well about an hour ago, and Jacob came in and he had phoned the doctors this morning and they got him in straight away”.

“So he took him down and told them everything and they looked at his rash because he’s got a little rash on his face and around his neck… but apparently they said it’s nothing to worry about and they prescribed some infant Gaviscon”.

The 39-year-old chose to casually reveal the exciting news during a recent interview with Elle UK, which was published yesterday.

Greta, who has been busy in recent weeks promoting her upcoming Barbie movie, subtly mentioned that she has welcomed a son, and went on to show the interviewer a photograph of him.

“He's a little Schmoo. I don’t know if you can tell energy from the picture, but that’s very much his energy. He’s a wise little baby,” the Little Women director gushed.

“The little guy is sleeping through the night. But I’m still doing that thing where I wake up, every hour to 90 minutes, and just hover. You just keep wanting to look at that baby. So I’m slightly in a twilight state,” she teased further.

As the couple tend to keep their family life quite private, the name of Greta and Noah’s new bundle of joy is not yet known.

Greta initially confirmed her pregnancy news in December last year, during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

“Yes, I am with child,” the Lady Bird director exclaimed at the time, after host Jimmy prompted her to share the news.

Greta and Noah first met on the set of 2010 comedy-drama Greenberg, and started dating in the following year.

As well as continuing their romantic relationship, the filmmakers have also struck up a working partnership several times, including co-writing the highly-anticipated Barbie movie together.

Having a conversation about his favourite baby name with Complex, Travis admitted, “I like Rocky 13”, which made his teenage daughter burst into laughter and reveal, “That's so bad!”.

Barker went on to say, “That's this name that's just been going in my head lately”, before Alabama joked, “Even he knows it's bad”.

“It is, it is bad”, the 47-year-old added as he explained the meaning behind the name. 

“Rocky George played guitar for Suicidal Tendencies and 13 is just the greatest number of all time”.

Closing off the interview, Alabama asked, “So, you're gonna name your kid Rocky 13?”, to which her dad replied, “Possibly”.

As well as expecting his first child with Kourtney Kardashian and being dad to Alabama, Travis shares 19-year-old Landon and his 24-year-old step-daughter Atiana with Shanna Moakler. 

Kourtney also shares three children with her ex-partner Scott Disick- 13-year-old Mason, 11-year-old Penelope and eight-year-old Reign.

Travis and Kourtney, who announced they were expecting their baby boy back in June, have already teased that they have a name chosen for their son. 

After Kourtney posted a collection of photos from their gender reveal party last month, Barker commented, “I already know his name”, sending fans into a frenzy.

Fans have already been trying to guess which moniker the couple will choose for their baby boy, with many fans convinced it could be Elvis because back in 2021 Travis said, “Our son’s name would be Elvis”, under Halloween photos of his reality star wife.
