The 35-year-old then revealed what has been ‘the biggest surprise since becoming a mum’ by answering, “That it even happened. I’m still processing it all tbh”.

The Rolling In The Deep singer has opened up about her plans to welcome a baby with her boyfriend, sports agent Rich Paul.

Adele, who co-parents son Angelo (10) with her ex-husband Simon Konecki, is currently performing for fans each weekend for her residency in Las Vegas.

At one point, Adele interacts with an expectant first-time mum, who asks the Grammy winner if she could help her pick a name for her incoming baby girl.

The mum-of-one then took the special occasion as a chance to briefly open up about her dreams to expand her family. 

“I really want to be a mum again soon,” Adele gushed.

Speaking about potential baby names, the Someone Like You hitmaker noted: “I've actually been writing lists. So every time I see a name that I like, I write it down in my phone.”

The expectant mum then goes on to reveal that she prefers traditional boy names for girls, to which Adele agrees: “Me too!”

When asked to choose between Spencer or Parker, Adele revealed a tidbit about boyfriend Rich’s name preferences.

"I can't say Parker because Rich likes that name!" she exclaimed, before adding: “I like Spencer.”

In her final thoughts, the star chose to share one of her own favourite baby names.

“Do you know what else? I love Ray for a girl as well, spelled like the boys’ name,” Adele admitted.

This is not the first time that Adele has opened up about welcoming a child with Rich. In an interview with Elle last August, the singer stated: “I definitely want more kids”.

“Did they all have their own one? Or did they all wear this one? But how did we end up with it out of all the siblings?! Sadly I don’t think there’s anyone alive who will know the answer”.

This includes top quality names such as Jungle, Jessie Ware, Nova Amor and Kelly Lee Owens – all of whom will be playing their only Irish shows next summer at BTP – as well as Irish talents like Gilla Band, Daithí and Anna Mieke. It’s a first taster of what will prove to be an amazing line-up of well over 100 acts.

This will be the third edition of the hugely well-received festival which takes place across 9 areas in the beautiful verdant surrounds of Glendalough Estate, and which previous two editions have made a huge splash, especially with the overall atmosphere and crowd energy. The site is just 30 minute drive from Dublin and offers camping options for adults and kids.

The first headline act being announced for BTP’24 is electronic soul 7-piece Jungle – whose well-received fourth album Volcano came out last week, hitting number 3 in the charts. Beyond the Pale 2024 will be Jungle’s first live show in Ireland in two years.

Another exciting act on a roll playing BTP’24 will be the revitalised Jessie Ware whose highly-acclaimed fifth album came out earlier this year and is on the shortlist to win next month’s Mercury Music Prize for best album of the year. Her new disco-inflected live show has been storming main stages such as Primavera and Glastonbury.

For both Jungle and Jessie Ware, BTP’24 will be their only live show in Ireland in summer 2024.

Other acts in announced in today’s taster of the extensive 2024 music programme include the lilting vocals of rising Welsh singer-songwriter Novo Amor, hugely-acclaimed electronic producer Kelly Lee Owens and Dublin post-punk maestros Gilla Band – all of whom will also be playing their only Irish shows in 2024.

Fans of high-quality live electronic music will be excited to see BTP bringing the likes of the audiovisual beats and melodies of Tourist, Erased Tapes’ latest star Rival Consoles, Berlin’s Parra for Cuva, Mancunian rave legends 808 State and Burren electro-trad legend Daithí, who played such a storming set at this year’s event; he just had to be invited back.

Rounding up the diverse bill of names being announced today are the blissful sounds of Ninja Tunes neo-classical pianist James Heather, Wicklow’s Normal People songstress Anna Mieke, Goan yoga-rave titans Hang Massive and the timeless reggae classics of Trojan Soundsystem

Beyond the Pale has discounted children’s tickets with shows and activities for kids. In addition to the music, there will be Cabaret, Comedy, Theatre, Art Installations, Wellness, Yoga and excellent food & drink options. More details of these will be announced in the coming months.

While campervan tickets for Beyond the Pale 2024 sold out upon release last month, option glamping experience remains available.

Details of public transport options will also be announced in the coming months.

Weekend tickets (3-day-with-camping) are currently available at the early bird rate of €199 for adults or €39 for kids. (only from www.ItsBeyondThePale.ie).

The clip showcases the two friends posing in their outfits, before Oti admits “I have something to tell you,” and unveils her bump.

Alongside the video, Oti penned a message in which she shared that Nkateko had a feeling that she was pregnant.

“My friend @takkies7 asked me to test because I was drinking coffee and I don’t drink coffee,” the expectant mum explained, before going on to reveal that herself and Marius had been struggling to conceive.

“We had been trying for a while and decided to stop (it all just got too much) and just live life as us two as nothing was happening,” Oti recalled.

“We enjoyed each other’s company dinners, concerts, parties, just simply removed all the pressure and here we are!” she exclaimed.

Will Young is ready to get down on one knee!

The former Love Island star met his girlfriend Jessie Wynter during their time in the villa earlier this year.

As their relationship progresses, Will has revealed he plans on proposing to Jessie and that he’s ‘creeping up’ to giving her a ring. 

After surprising Wynter by getting her baby goats as their first official joint pets last week, Will is ready to pop the big question next. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by FARMER WILL(@farmer_will_)

Speaking to MailOnline, Young revealed, “Last week I made a romantic gesture to Jessie. I won't lie, we are creeping up to the ring. We are creeping up to it”.

“First stage is the goats, give us a couple of months and then the next thing is going to come and we will keep getting stronger and moving forward”.

Jessie went on to admit, “I love Will so much and I don't need a ring to know that. I know we love each other”.

Explaining that Will is already trying to figure out her ring size, Jessie said, “We were sitting at dinner the other night and he takes my ring off my finger and was holding it and asked, ‘Does this ring fit you well?’. I looked at him like, ‘What? Why do you care about that?’. He was acting so awkward”.

Will went on to add, “Not going to lie I thought Jessie hadn't clocked that. I just took the ring and was like, ‘How does this fit you?’”. 

“It's the first time I've actually realised you clocked what I was doing. If I'm being completely honest, for me I know what I want and that's babies, marriage and living with Jessie for the rest of my life. It is going to happen”.

The Love Islander then revealed, ”It's completely different to any relationship I have ever had, my last serious relationship was when I was 16, so it was very immature”.

“Coming out the villa I had to tell her like, ‘This is my first proper relationship and I am still learning but we are growing together’”.

“We have got so much love for one another and we have silly disagreements, like, ‘You haven't made the bed’, but we talk through it and move on”.

The farmer ensured, “Get this down: Will Young loves Jessie and wants to marry her. I say this to Jessie all the time, we are going to get married and have kids”.

The lovebirds then explained that they are saving to buy a house together, but have ‘nothing set in stone’ in terms of settling down in the UK or Jessie’s home-country of Australia. 

“At the minute we have been to Australia and we came back for the UK summer. The plan for us is to do six months here and six months there”.

“We are both real family people and I want to spend time with my family and Jessie and she wants to spend time with hers and me, so six months here six months there”.

Jessie revealed, “We are not setting plans. If we want to go to Australia, we will go. We have nothing set in stone, we are winning and I love the UK”.

“We are saving for a house though, we have a joint account and I haven't had my nails done in months, we are being stingy”.

Amy Dowden has shared a health update as she battles cancer. 

The Strictly Come Dancing star was diagnosed with grade three breast cancer earlier this year.

She is currently receiving chemotherapy treatment but has now revealed she experienced a ‘setback’ in her health as she contracted sepsis, which turned out to be 'life-threatening' for her.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Amy-Dowden (@amy_dowden)

Opening up about the scary ordeal that meant she had to be rushed to hospital, Amy spoke to Hello! about the incident which happened after her first round of chemo. 

“I wasn't feeling too bad that day, just sick, but a couple of hours later I started having a temperature of 37.7 degrees Celsius. At the time, I didn’t realise that having a temperature of 37.5 or above could be fatal for a chemo patient. I just thought it was my reaction to chemo, but as it turned out, I had already got an infection”.

Amy had been at home with her mum, Gillian, when she started to feel very ill as she was ‘breathless and complaining of a pain in her chest’. 

“I felt freezing cold but I was all clammy and shaking. My mum and dad rang my red card [which provides the chemotherapy team’s contact details and current treatment information] and they said to hang up and ring the ambulance”.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Amy-Dowden (@amy_dowden)

When paramedics arrived at her home, they advised the professional dancer to go straight to hospital but Amy was reluctant. 

“I didn't want to go into hospital; at the time I didn’t realise how ill I was. I knew it was a Saturday night, so A&E would probably be crowded, and it was dangerous being around people as it’s more likely you’ll pick up an infection”.

“On chemo, you don't have your white blood cells to fight infection. We now know I had the infection just before I started chemo, but we were never able to pinpoint what actually caused it”.

After being reassured she would be isolated in hospital, Amy agreed to go in and was immediately treated in the Intensive Care Unit due to her having ‘dangerously low blood pressure’.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Amy-Dowden (@amy_dowden)

Amy’s mum admitted, “We didn’t know what to do with ourselves, everything was looking very serious. What I couldn’t believe is how quick the situation can change and how little time you have to respond”.

Dowden went on to explain, “The doctors and nurses were telling me I had sepsis and that it was life-threatening, but I wasn’t taking it in. I didn’t become properly aware until later. I told my dad, ‘I’ve got sepsis’, and he said, ‘I know!’”.

The 33-year-old returned home on August 8, only to be back in hospital on her birthday, August 10, due to a rise in her temperature. 

“I just got very, very unlucky. I’m also more prone to infections because my Crohn’s means I have a lower immune system”.

The funeral plans for the two siblings who lost their lives in a car accident on Friday night have been confirmed.

Luke McSweeney (24) and his younger sister Grace McSweeney (18) sadly passed away after the car they were travelling in crashed outside Clonmel, in Co. Tipperary.

Luke and Grace’s fellow passengers, Nicole Murphy (18) and Zoey Coffey (18), tragically also lost their lives in the accident.

The crash occurred at around 7:30pm on August 25, as Luke was driving his sister and her two friends to a Leaving Cert celebration party. Heartbreakingly, the three girls had only received their exam results earlier that day.

“We have confirmation for Luke and Grace McSweeney, their funeral will take place on Friday morning at St Peter and Paul Church at 11.30am, followed by a burial in St Patrick’s cemetery,” he stated.

According to a memorial post on RIP.ie, the two siblings are survived by their mother Brigid (nee Phelan), their father Paul, their brothers Mark and David, and their wider family and friends.

Following the heartbreaking tragedy, hundreds of people from Clonmel and the surrounding areas gathered in the town for a vigil. 

Candles were passed around for those in attendance, which included Zoey and Nicole’s fellow students from Presentation Secondary School, as well as Luke and Grace’s former classmates from Loreto Secondary School.

The funeral arrangements for both Zoey and Nicole have yet to be confirmed to the public.
