Fans of the Little Mix singer had recently been expressing concerns about her, after she took a prolonged absence from social media.

A few weeks ago, Perrie spoke out to her followers, and has now taken the time to share a glimpse into her holiday!

In her first image, Perrie looks radiant beside a pool as she holds up a multicoloured wings-shaped floatie behind her. 

“Instagram vs reality with a toddler,” the Shout Out To My Ex hitmaker teased in her caption, as the second photo includes little Axel to the right-hand side, photobombing his mother’s photoshoot with a clownfish floatie.

The rest of Perrie’s so-called ‘photo dump’ features some adorable moments, such as the mother-and-son duo running across a boardwalk.

The last image captures a heartwarming portrait of Perrie and her fiancé, footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, as they pose with son Axel.

Many have since taken to Perrie’s comments section to express their love and delight for the updated photos.

“The smiles in the last pic omg crying,” one fan gushed.

“Axel is definitely a mini version of Alex it’s crazy beautiful family!!” another replied.

“Axel is so big oh my gosh,” a third added.

The brand-new post comes a few weeks after Perrie broke her social media silence. Uploading on TikTok, the BRIT winner explained why she had been refraining from posting.

“I’ve been a little quiet lately… and it’s because I’m working hard on my first solo ALBUM!” she exclaimed, showcasing her surroundings at a writing camp.

“I’ve been working with a lot of incredible writers and producers, it’s so much fun and I’m loving every minute of it,” the mum-of-one continued, after entering her hiatus from Little Mix in May of last year.

“We’re getting there, one song at a time,” Perrie promised, before adding: “I cannot wait to share it all with you”.

BBC bosses have finally broken their silence after EastEnders fans have been expressing worries that the future of the soap could be in jeopardy.

After being on our screens since 1985, EastEnders has become a staple for many on the BBC. However, after some opinions that the show’s quality has dipped, attention has now been drawn to the soap’s viewing figures.

Despite having heavily emotional storylines such as the tragic death of Lola Pearce, 11-year-old Lily Slater’s pregnancy, or the ongoing whodunnit mystery of ‘The Six’ leading up to Christmas Day, many have noted that viewing numbers for EastEnders have slipped recently.

Fans have become concerned that the BBC’s flagship soap is suffering its lowest ever viewing figures, with an average of 1.3M viewers tuning in for each episode, as opposed to previous figures of 30M for some of its biggest episodes.

After a period of speculation, BBC bosses have finally broken their silence and confirmed their stance on EastEnders’ future.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the broadcaster said: “EastEnders episodes are made live to the audience at 6am every morning on BBC iPlayer giving the audience the choice to watch when and where they choose, so when episodes are moved to a different day, or channel, due to a live sporting event it is no surprise that this is reflected in the regular overnight audience.”

“Over the last two weeks EastEnders has been streamed almost 18 million times on BBC iPlayer and remains one of iPlayer’s most popular programmes,” they insisted, in a promise that it will not be axed any time soon.

The spokesperson for the BBC also noted that EastEnders, as well as other broadcasts, “naturally see a dip” during the summer while the Wimbledon tennis tournament is ongoing. 

EastEnders has been pulled from BBC One this week and next week, and has found a new home on BBC2, until Wimbledon concludes next Sunday.

Britney Spears has allegedly been ‘struck in the face’ by NBA star Victor Wembanyama’s security guard. 

The Circus singer has spoken out about the incident that occurred between the basketball player’s bodyguard and her in a hotel restaurant in Las Vegas. 

Britney released a statement to social media to share her side of the story, revealing it was a ‘traumatic experience’. 

The 41-year-old explained, “Traumatic experiences are not new to me and I have had my fair share of them. I was not prepared for what happened last night”.

Revealing she recognised the basketball player while out in a restaurant, Spears wanted to congratulate him on his career.

“I decided to approach him and congratulate him on his success. It was really loud, so I tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. I am aware of the player's statement where he mentions I 'grabbed him from behind' but I simply tapped him on the shoulder”.

“His security then back handed me in the face without looking back, in front of a crowd. Nearly knocking me down and causing my glasses off my face”.

Britney explained that she gets ‘swarmed’ by fans ‘all the time’, including that night, and her security team didn’t hit any of them.

“This story is super embarrassing to share with the world but its out there already. However, I think it's important to share this story and to urge people in the public eye to set an example and treat all people with respect”.

"Physical violence is happening too much in this world. Often behind closed doors. I stand with all victims and my heart goes out to all of you”.

Credit: Victor Wembanyama Instagram

The Gimme More singer continued, “I have yet to get a public apology from the player, his security or their organisation. I hope they will…I also don’t appreciate nor do I think this is a laughing matter”.

“Watching the player smile and laugh was cruel and demoralising with the situation that took place. I am 5’3 and he’s 7’4…”.

Britney closed off by thanking the public and police department for their support. 

19-year-old Victor Wembanyama had already spoken to the press before Britney released her statement and told reporters, “There was one person who was calling me but we talked before with the security- ‘Don’t stop- because it was going to make a crowd”.

“So I couldn’t stop and that person was calling me, ‘Sir, sir’, and that person grabbed me from behind”.

Credit: Britney Spears Instagram

He continued, “I didn't see what happened, because I was walking straight and we were told, ‘Don't stop’.

"But that person grabbed me from behind, not on my shoulder, she grabbed me from behind, so I just know the security pushed her away”.

“I don't know with how much force, though. But security pushed her away. I didn't stop to look, so I could walk in and enjoy the nice dinner”.

He closed off by adding that he didn’t realise it was Britney Spears until ‘hours later’ as he hadn’t seen her face at the time of the incident.

The Gogglebox star announced the birth of her first child, Jude Xavier, with her partner Scott last week. 

As she settles into motherhood, Scarlett has shared a tour of her baby boy’s nursery and we just love the adorable theme she opted for.

Moffatt made sure she’ll get plenty of use out of big items of furniture in his room as she explained the wardrobe is ‘built to last’ and Jude’s crib changes into a bed. 

The wall is decorated with Jude’s name up in lights and there are lots of hot air balloons on the white and pale blue walls.

“I bought all the personalised bits from @etsyuk and @amazonuk. All of his little toys and books are gifts from family & friends”.

She went on to add, “The furniture is from @bababoomloughton and @obabyuk. The beautiful poem was gifted by a wonderful small business @linestorhymes”.

Montana Brown has opened up about giving birth for the first time!

The former Love Island star welcomed baby boy Jude into the world on June 23 with her fiancé Mark O’Connor.

Now, a few weeks after becoming a mum for the first time, Montana has been spilling all the details about the moment Jude was born.

Taking to her Instagram stories earlier today, the 27-year-old asked her 1.2M followers if they had any questions for a Q&A. Naturally, given her recent life change, many wanted to know about her experience with motherhood so far.

First off, Montana chose to address if she was induced or went into labour naturally.

“I went into labour naturally, my waters broke 6am ish,” she penned in response.

“Leading up to this I was having raspberry leaf tea everyday and religiously bouncing on this peanut ball. But who knows if any of that made a difference,” she teased. 

“I was due 28th June and he arrived 23rd so he came 39 weeks + 2 days,” she continued, before going on to share her personal opinion against being induced.

“If you're healthy and have no complications getting induced just seems unnecessary intervention. Let your baby arrive when it's meant to arrive and full term can be from 39 – 42 weeks just trust your body,” she argued.

After speaking about her labour, the reality star then went on to detail how her postpartum recovery is going.

“I think the postpartum recovery has been the hardest to deal with as it's something I didn't think about enough,” Montana admitted.

“It's mentally very tough with so many changes happening with your body, feeding your baby colostrum, body healing from birth and adjusting hormonally,” she continued, before adding that “being in pain all the time” has been the hardest part of her post-birth journey.

Montana announced baby Jude’s arrival on June 25, with a black-and-white shot of herself cradling him.

“Welcome to the world Jude Isaiah O’Connor, we’re so smitten with you little man,” she wrote at the time.
