The former Coronation Street star is already mum to seven-year-old Matilda, four-year-old Delilah and one-year-old Charlie, whom she shares with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair.

One fan asked the 32-year-old if she wanted any more babies to which she responded, “No I don’t want anymore babies”.

“I’m obsessed with my 3 kids that I have and I think I’m really lucky to have had three healthy children”.

Helen then went on to explain why more children aren’t on the cards for her. “I want to give each of them all of me and equal attention which is really hard work but worth it”.

The soap star also shared sweet advice for mums to be, saying, “That you’ll find your own way; happy mum, happy baby”.

“Look after yourself and talk about how you feel”, she added.

Laura has yet to comment herself on the announcement of her little one’s gender.

The former couple had initially announced on February 15 that they were expecting their first child together. 

Laura decided to upload a video montage of special moments from her pregnancy so far, including her growing baby bump. 

As Gary was featured in the video, fans of the couple assumed that they were still together, despite previous split rumours. A few hours later, though, Gary explained that he and Laura were now broken up, but that they still intend to co-parent together.

University Hospital Waterford have announced they have closed their doors to visitors due to ‘an outbreak’. 

The hospital released a statement online telling the public about the visitor ban and sharing how certain people will still be able to visit their loved ones in exceptional circumstances.

The statement reads, “UHW is now closed to all visitors due to an outbreak. Visiting can be arranged by contacting the relevant Ward Manager for exceptional circumstances such as critically ill patients, children or those who require special assistance. Thank you for your cooperation”.

Waterford Hospital has said that any visitors that go to the hospital must wear surgical face masks that cover the mouth and nose to stop the spread of the infection.

The infection outbreak affects the entire hospital but has only had a direct impact on three of the hospital’s wards.

Farmer Will Young has been spilling the tea!

The Love Island star has been adjusting to life after leaving the villa with his girlfriend Jessie Wynter.

The couple narrowly missed out on a spot in this year’s final, as they were dumped from the Island in the show’s penultimate episode.

However, Will and Jessie’s exit was spoiled for fans, as both ITV and presenter Maya Jama accidentally revealed their eviction before viewers got a chance to see it unfold.

During the airing of the penultimate episode, Maya posted an Instagram video from the Love Island: Aftersun set, which clearly showed Will and Jessie in the background. Then, ITV confirmed during the Love Island ad break that the couple would be appearing on Aftersun, meaning that they had been dumped.

Earlier this week, Will appeared on Grace Barry's podcast Saving Grace, during which he was asked about the dumping blunder.

"I don't know what happened on Aftersun, but they f**ked up,” host Grace prompted.

"Yeah," Will replied, before Grace asked: "You heard about it. Did you guys hear about it when Aftersun was going on?"

"Yeah, Maya told us. Because I'm stood there before going…" the 23-year-old explained by making funny faces.

"Yeah because they were like, ‘People that left, Will and Jessie,' and we were all sat there like, ‘They haven't announced they have left yet.’ We were baffled,” Grace recalled.

Credit: ITV

Will then revealed how presenter Maya reacted to the situation. "Yeah Maya kind of spoke to us and went, 'Something's going on, someone's gonna get fired!'” he exclaimed.

Finally, when Grace asked if there was calamity behind the scenes, the reality star replied: "To be fair we were just in this little cabin so we didn't see, we were just chilling."

"I bet there was hysteria," Grace teased before Will concluded, "Yeah, someone was in trouble!"
