Billie Faiers.
'The Mummy Diaries: The Wedding' TV Show, UK - 01 May 2019
Sam & Billie Faiers: The Mummy Diaries, is a British ITV documentary series in which Sam and Billie Faiers continue their journey into motherhood.
Billie Faiers‘ idyllic Maldives wedding to Greg Shepherd had fans ‘in tears’ after it aired on The Mummy Diaries on Wednesday night.
The hit ITVBe show shared behind-the-scenes footage from the big day in a 90-minute special in which Billie, 29, and Greg, 33, finally tied the knot after eight years.
And Twitter went wild over the ‘dream’ wedding, with fans branding the pair ‘goals’.
Taking to social media in their droves, people tweeted: ‘Absolutely obsessed with Sam and Billie Faiers. Can’t stop crying at her wedding, how perfect,’ and: ‘Billie Faiers wedding is absolute GOALS – what a stunning venue and unbelievable bride.’
Even Billie’s former TOWIE co-star Lydia Bright chimed in, saying she hadn’t stopped crying since the hour-long episode started. You and us both, Lyds!
‘Cried the whole show. It was so beautiful, congrats my darling,’ she wrote.
And Lydia wasn’t the only one. ‘Omg why am I getting all emotional watching the mummy diaries, the wedding,’ another fan tweeted.
Billie and Greg were surrounded by their family and friends – including adorable tots Nelly, four, and Arthur, two – as well as Billie’s sister Sam, 28, who delivered an emotional speech in honour of her sister.
She said: ‘I’m so happy that my big sister is marrying the man of her dreams, she may not tell you that Greg, thank you for making me an auntie to Nelly and Arthur.
‘Being here in the Maldives with all your family and friends is going to be an unforgettable celebration, I love you both with all your heart, and welcome officially to the family Greg.’
The big day had been a year in the making but looked like it was worth every second.
Taking to Instagram, 45-year-old Vic can be seen looking as chic as ever as she posed up a storm in the mirror.
Chatting to her followers, she said: ‘So today I am wearing one of my favourite trenches and I love this bottle green colour with this slit front pants in burgundy.’
After taking a trip to the famous Bullring to meet some of her fans in the city, Vic went on to explain: ‘So we’re here in Birmingham, at Selfridges in Birmingham to do a lovely customer event.’
Sharing a rare glimpse backstage, the fashion designer sat in a chair as her glam squad got to work, applying makeup and tying her hair back in a stylish bun.
‘It is good to be back in Birmingham, we are here just getting ready,’ she said, before adding: ‘In the chair in Birmingham.’
While husband David, 43, and their kids Brooklyn, 20, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 14, and Harper, seven, seemingly stayed back in London, Victoria’s sister Louise Adams supported the star on her big day.
In another clip, Louise, 35, is sitting on a sofa, as her sister revealed her role for the day.
‘We’re here in Selfridges in Birmingham, my sister’s here,’ she said.
‘She’s here because she’s in charge of wine. It’s a very important job.’
The caption alongside the video also read: ‘Being in charge of wine is a very important job @louiseadams.’
Meanwhile, Vic’s hubby David decided to enjoy a slightly more low-key evening as he sat down on the sofa to watch a game of football.
The former England captain posted a short clip of the Barcelona vs. Liverpool game, while commending footie star Lionel Messi.
Adele has broken her silence for the first time since it was revealed she had split from husband Simon Konecki.
The 30-year-old songstress confirmed the separation eleven days ago, in the form of a simple statement reading: ‘Adele and her partner have separated. They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.’
The Grammy award winner and Simon were together for over seven years in total. The pair tied the knot back in 2016 and share six-year-old son, Angelo.
Now, almost two weeks after news of the separation came to light, Adele took to Instagram to share a hilarious meme which sees a photo of her crying beside a snapshot from her Carpool Karaoke sketch with James Corden.
Alongside the contrasting snaps, a caption reads: ‘When you catch yourself in your feelings then remember who you are.’
The Tottenham born pop star’s followers were quick to praise her for the humorous post, with one penning: ‘Omg this is absolutely everything,’ with another adoring fan adding: ‘She is just god,’ and one more writing: ‘F*** I LOVE her so much .’
This follows reports that Adele and Simon are already divorced and have been living ‘separate lives for years’.
A source revealed to the Daily Star that the hitmaker reportedly told her pals: ‘I’m divorced now, so I’m trying to find my new normal.
‘Publicly, Adele is saying as little as possible about the split. But, privately, she’s been very open about the fact that she and Simon have already divorced.
‘She’s been telling friends that the marriage is done and dusted.’
The ex-band mate has reportedly been lying low in the Lake District
Gaz looks to be filling out as he celebrates winning an award with his TT bandmates in 1995
As Take That continue their run of dates, performing at London’s O2 Arena as part of their 30th anniversary tour, as a three-piece, we can reveal the whereabouts of former band-mate Jason Orange, who had reportedly ‘gone off the grid’.
In the months leading up to the tour, Take That claimed Jason, 48, was not answering their calls or messages since he left the band in 2014.
But we can reveal towards the end of 2018, the Back For Good star had been hiding out in the quaint town of Kendal located in the Lake District.
When quizzed on whether member Howard Donald had heard from Jason, he revealed: ‘He’s not taking emails or phone calls or stuff like that. That’s good for him.’
And added: ‘That’s where he wants to be. I think he wants to be a million miles away from this at the moment.’
Well, he’s not quite a million miles away – as Kendal is approximately 271 miles away from London.
Spotted buying a pair of Wellington boots, Todds of Kendall teased: ‘Well that’s a bit of excitement in the Elephant Yard Shopping store today… Jason Orange has been in for a pair of wellies!!!’
The rare sighting sparked speculation the star is buying a holiday home. One local said: ‘He’s buying a house in the lakes, I believe. Holiday home.’
In 2017 he was spotted dining in Zeffirellis, Ambleside. One surprised diner wrote on TripAdvisor: ‘Good Vegetarian food and sitting next to Jason ORANGE LOL was quite ap!’
Another sighting saw Jay enjoying a drink at the Royal Barn pub in Kirkby Lonsdale, where he is understood to be pictured at the bar with members of the local netball team. And after a bit more digging, we’ve discovered there’s been more sightings of Jay in recent months.
Another local spilled: ‘He must be round here a bit, he had tea in our restaurant a few weeks back’
And another saw him enjoying a stroll: ‘I knew it was him I saw him! the other day standing at the traffic lights!’
And the sightings haven’t stopped fans speculating on whether the singer will ever re-join Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard on stage.
One wrote: ‘Wonder if Lake District loving Jason Orange will join them, lost count of times we’ve seen him in @BoothsCountry #Windermere & wandering around Kendal.’
And the door is always open for both Jason and Robbie Williams, Howard added: ‘Who knows? In the near future he might decide to change his mind. And if he does he’s welcome back anytime.’
Come on Jay and Rob, Take That fans everywhere are praying you’ll come Back For Good…
She's said to want a 'clean break' from the band that made her famous.
The Spice Girls reunion tour kicks off in Dublin this month, but one VIP has reportedly failed to RSVP to a personal – and very generous – invitation. After snubbing repeated invitations to join the group on tour, Victoria Beckham has reportedly shunned a personal invitation from Geri Horner to come and watch the gigs from the stands – and even banned David and the kids from attending.
A source told The Sun that Geri Horner had ‘reached out to Victoria, and invited her parents and the kids to a gig at her own expense’. But although Victoria insists that she ‘loves the girls individually’ she has reportedly ‘moved on with her life’.
And this means banning her family from attending the concerts because she ‘wants a clean break from it all, and doesn’t want her name, or her family’s, attached in any way, shape or form.’
Last year, Victoria declared that she would ‘absolutely’ be at the gigs to support her former bandmates. ‘I am very, very excited for them!’ she told extra. ‘They have great things planned, and I am looking forward to it.’
Emma Bunton recently rubbished suggestions that the tour was in jeopardy after Geri denied Mel B’s shock claims that the pair had slept together during the band’s early days. Mel was reportedly ‘totally perplexed’ by Geri’s snub, which she felt made her out to be a liar.
‘It’s all fine,’ Emma insisted on The Jonathan Ross Show, which aired on Saturday. ‘We have all chatted about it.’
And while Baby claimed not to know anything about the alleged dalliance between Scary and Ginger, she admitted that the group ‘had fun back in the day’.
‘I didn’t know anything else but you know, we are all good,’ she reassured fans.
A spokeswoman for Victoria said that the designer ‘was likely to be away on business for the duration of the tour’.
Donning a blonde wig paired with a mega glam, ball gown and ruffled cape combo, Gemma’s fans couldn’t help but draw a comparison between the pair, with one Tweeting: ‘Kris Jenner going to the #MetGala as Gemma Collins is the kind of campery we need in 2019,’ while another added: ‘I’m howling kris jenner looks like gemma collins #MetGala.’
Hitting up her Instagram story, 38-year-old Gem spoke to her 1.3 million followers, addressing the uncanny resemblance.
Pouting for the camera during today’s TOWIE filming, the self confessed diva can be heard saying: ‘I’ve seen the press about Kris Jenner. Absolutely hilarious, she looked amazing, so yeah.
Kris wasn’t the only member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan to wear a GC inspired look to the Met Gal- Kim Kardashian turned up in an orange, jewel dripping gown, baring a striking likeness to one of Gemma’s most iconic outfits.
Clearly pleased about being stacked up against some of the biggest stars in the world, Gemma shared a super sassy boomerang, shaking her hips and posing in a huge pair of jewel embellished sunglasses.
Alongside the upload, Gemma penned: ‘Doing IT for the HUNS #gcstyle.’
This follows news that Gemma has been spending time over in LA, filming her upcoming reality series, Diva Forever.
Taking to social media, the Dancing On Ice contestant shared a snapshot of the Hollywood sign, alongside the caption: ‘The hills have called I’m SO EXCITED L.A. BABY can’t believe my career has taken me here .’
Looks like Gem’s style rubbed off on some of Hollywood’s finest during her stint in the states!
Vicky Pattison has taken to social media to update fans on her fitness journey, revealing that she has returned to the gym for the first time in seven weeks.
Addressing the camera, the 31-year-old former Geordie Shore star informed her followers that she took on her first work out with personal trainer Robbie this morning since she began a break from hitting the gym.
Vic recently returned from a lavish, sun soaked trip to Dubai, so it’s no surprise that getting her sweat on hasn’t been at the top of her to-do list for a while.
Uploading the candid video to her Instagram story, the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! winner can be heard saying: ‘So I went back to the gym today and me and Robbie worked out.
‘It was my first training session in seven weeks. I haven’t been in Newcastle a lot and I’ve been busy too, so it was quite hard.
‘I nearly passed out on a number of occasions. Now I have cold sweats on the back of my neck which is attractive, so, sorry.’
Having endured the sweaty exercise sesh, the Newcastle native showed off her healthy post-gym treat.
‘Now I’m treating myself to a bounty protein shake which is coconut milk and vanilla protein. It’s the f*****g t**s.’
Despite being back on the health and fitness wagon, Vic made sure to share snippets from her indulgent Dubai hol with her 4.3 million followers.
Uploading a photo as she took a huge bite of a giant slice of cake, placed on top of a very decadent looking milkshake, the telly star hilariously penned: ‘Wonders why jeans feel tight…. *scrolls through photo album to this time last week in Dubai and wonders no more* I REGRET NOTHING.’
Vicky’s fans were quick to respond to the snap of the indulgent holiday treat, with one writing: ‘Lol wow! How many calories in this ??? Asking for a friend ,’ while another added: ‘Goodness grief! .’
While dad David is busy dining out at a Japanese restaurant in Hong Kong, wife Victoria is at home spending bank holiday with her family and after cuddles with her new baby niece Tabatha – brother Christian’s child, Posh turns her attention to her own youngest, Harper.
Left to her own devices before school this morning, Harper gets a head start on learning, by scribbling on the windows at home.
But unlike most parents who would be alarmed at the state of the glass which has been covered in red marker pen, Victoria captioned the videos: ‘Harper has found a way to make learning her spellings fun! x’
Clearly, VB isn’t worried about her windows looking posh if it helps her daughter excel in the classroom.
Harper was busy writing down spellings to words ending with ‘tion’ – Station, subtraction, education, caution, solution, interruption – and the list goes on. And the youngster can be seen marking her spellings when she’s spelt them right.
And the bizarre method is clearly working.
It’s not clear why Harper isn’t using pen and paper like most children but she seems to be thriving with this paperless, eco-friendly method as she seems to be learning her spellings well whilst saving the environment.
Let’s hope she is just as contentious when it comes to helping clean the windows or she could be there for a while!
It’s not the first time Harper has show interest in her school work, she’s previously shown off her great reading skills and also her artwork as she previously painted in the garden. And in her spare time, Harper has taken a liking to ice skating, even having lessons with her own ice skates.
Let’s hope kids everywhere don’t pick up the first pen they see and try copy the Beckham youngster or there will be plenty of cross parents out there sliding into Victoria’s DM’s…

Khloe Kardashian

On Monday night, Kim Kardashian, Kendall and Kylie Jenner – plus their momager Kris Jenner – all stunned in brightly coloured sequinned outfits at the Met Gala 2019.
But their sister Khloe Kardashian was noticeably absent from the event held at Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the reason behind her snub isn’t pretty.
While Khloe has been in almost as many headlines as Kim over the last year, thanks to her rocky relationship with Tristan Thompson and the birth of her daughter True, Vogue editor and Anna Wintour ‘thinks she’s too C-list to be there’.
Khloe, who has nearly 93million Instagram followers, was left to mope home alone while all her sisters – apart from Kourtney Kardashian, who declined her own invitation to stay with Khloe – went to the ball.
A source told Radar Online, ‘Khloe and Kourtney have never been invited to the Met Gala, but Kourtney was invited to this one and chose to stay home with Khloe because she didn’t want to leave her alone.’
Kim, who graces the cover of this month’s American Vogue, also had something to do with Khloe’s snub.
The source continued, ‘Kim lives for the event and she would never want her Kardashian sisters there because that would take the attention away from her.
‘Everyone in the family knows that it is Kim’s night. She literally talks about it all year long.’
Kim has made no secret of her desire to join the A-list crowd over the years and was thrilled to receive her first invite to the Met Gala in 2015.
She previously told Vogue, ‘I used to dream about this night. I used to sit home in bed on my computer looking at all of the pictures of everyone, dreaming one day that I could ever attend a Met Ball, and never even believing that that would ever happen.
‘So to be the cover girl, going to the Met in Mugler is honestly the biggest dream come through and I’m so humbled by the idea that this is my life.’
The Love Island beauty has wanted to remove her implants for years
Olivia Attwood reveals she wants her breast implants removed
Love Island star Olivia Attwood has revealed she’s had her breast implants removed.
Olivia previously said she was desperate to swap her fake assets for a smaller, more natural look.
And on Wednesday, the reality TV babe, 28, shared an Instagram story clip from her London hospital bed after waking up from the surgery.
‘She’s awake hunnies,’ Olivia wrote to her 1.6 million followers. ‘And the giant boobies are no more. I’ll share the details of what we did in the end etc when I’m back on this planet.’
She then shared a video of herself wearing her surgery bra, and said she felt a ‘bit achey today but that’s to be expected’.
As she gave a shout out to her surgeon, Olivia insisted she paid for the surgery herself despite being offered if for free by other clinics.
In a third short clip, the Love Island beauty shared a snap of a brand new baggy white Balenciaga T-shirt and said boyfriend Bradley Dack bought it for her so she could wear it post-op.
Just days earlier, Olivia told fans she was going under the knife, but only revealed it was to finally have her reduction when everyone started speculating about what she could be getting done.
‘So loads of you are asking what surgery I’m having done and I’m finally getting my boobs re-done this week,’ she said.
‘Nothing more, nothing less so everyone can just calm down.’
Last year, during her appearance on Channel 4 show Celebs Go Dating, Olivia admitted she was desperate to get new implants.
After receptionist Tom Read commented on her impressive cleavage, Olivia told him: ‘They are going soon – I’m getting a new pair.
‘So I’m just trying to give them as much air time as possible – I want them to see the world before they go.’
Explaining why she wanted to get rid of them, she told trolls who said her assets were ‘too big’ for her that she got the implants when she was a lot younger.
‘Guuuyyss I knoww my boobs are very big for my frame. It’s something I did when I was very young and I thought I knew best,’ she wrote.
‘Why am I explaining myself to the few w*****s that have piped up. but MOT is happening soon. I have put it off for a long time’
Olivia underwent the surgery in London just days after she jetted back from a break in Dubai with her on-off footballer boyfriend Bradley.
Single singer Louse Redknapp has swung by a tattoo parlour...
Louise Redknapp has gone and got herself a tattoo, after popping into tattoo parlour during her break from 9to5 The Musical rehearsals.
The 44-year-old mum-of-two to sons Beau, 10, and Charlie, 14, who she has with ex-husband Jamie Redknapp, has shown her youthful side when she uploaded a snap of her posing with tattooist and documented the occasion on her instastory.
She told fans, ‘Hey, so I decided to get a tattoo today…’ before showing her fans she is laid on the couch and panned round for them to see the person who is going to be doing the inking.
She added, ‘There we go, yeah…’ before pulling a face at the camera and pouting.
Although the singer kept hidden the design and the location of the inking, it’s thought the design is on her arm/hand area as this was being prepared for the tattooist. It’s possible the inking could be in celebration of the musical being extended until April 2020.
Louise then uploaded a snap of her and the artist @theblackwhitelines sat together in @thelondonsocialtattoo
It’s understood that it’s not the first inking that the former Eternal star has had done on her body, as she was previously pictured with tiny stars on her wrist.
Back in 2017 Louise’s Style album friend Em, had her first tattoo done. she said, ‘Last week I finally plucked up the courage to get Inked. I’d been thinking about it for a while and started to collect images on my Pinterest Board for Inspiration. Initially, I thought I’d go for a Star but the more Hearts I saw, I quickly changed my mind. I wanted something really small and discreet and am super happy with my tiny, ultra-fine Heart…’
Em continued, ‘My tattooist (who was of course covered head to toe in artwork) found my indecisiveness and nervousness quite amusing considering the size! But of course, it’s still a big decision!’
Whether it’s work or love related, we’re sure Louise put a lot of thought in to what she wanted…
TOWIE bosses have confirmed the departure of James ‘Arg’ Argent, admitting he will no longer appear on the ITVBe show.
The reality TV star has had a tough week after admitting he has an ‘eating disorder’ on This Morning, and has been told to lose 10 stone following his weight gain.
But this latest blow to his career has reportedly caused concern among his inner circle.
‘Lime Pictures aren’t working with him, and it has sparked more concerns among his friends who fear he isn’t looking after himself,’ a source told The Sun.
They added: ‘His weight has rocketed recently which he says he plans to tackle.’
Despite Arg recently filming scenes for the series, a spokesperson for TOWIE admitted to the publication that ‘there are no further plans to film with James at this time.’
Arg’s departure comes after he opened up to Holly Willoughbyand Phillip Schofield on the ITV morning chat show about his issues with food.
The 31-year-old Essex native revealed: ‘I’ve always gone up and down with my weight since I was a teenager.
‘I could be really, really slim in the first half of the year, but by the other half I’m morbidly obese.
‘All my problems stem from food. I have an eating disorder.’
Arg went on to explain that he replaced his relationship with drinking with food, leading to his recent weight gain.
He said: ‘I’m proud of myself with how my career is going and that I’ve stayed clean and sober rather than going out with my mates to a club and drinking.
‘But now if I’ve had a good or bad day, I’m now comfort eating.
‘I knew I had put on a substantial amount of weight when I looked in the mirror and could see my clothes weren’t fitting… My friends used to have a laugh about my love of food and that I’m chubby, but no one is really laughing anymore.’
Their famous pals rushed to congratulate the happy couple after the big reveal
Love Island stars Jess Shears and Dom Lever have announced they’re expecting their first child together.
Model Jess, 25, and Dom, 27, who met on the reality dating show in 2017, revealed the baby news on Instagram with a snap of an ultrasound as well as Polaroid pictures of themselves.
Posing in a black crop top and undies, Jess is cradling her growing baby bump in her shot, while Dom is mimicking her pose as he cheekily holds his belly.
Pricey is reportedly jealous of Hol’s successful TV career
Former glamour model Katie Price seems to be suffering from a case of the green eyed monster, after it was reported she ‘secretly hates’ presenter Holly Willoughby and is jealous of her telly success.
An air of awkwardness between the pair was previously displayed when reality star Katie made a dig at Holly’s weight, during a live TV link during an episode of This Morning back in 2017.
The This Morning host, 38, who is then thought to have slimmed down to a size 10, grinned and simply replied: ‘Thanks!’
Now it has been reported that Katie has been gossiping about Hol’s figure ever since, with an insider revealing: ‘Katie thinks Holly needs to boost her curves like she has in the past, she’s not “Holly Willoughbooby” any more.
‘She’s even said she needs work on her famous Willoughboobies, just like her, after losing so much weight!’
Speaking to The Sun, the insider continued: ‘Katie definitely has a hint of the green eyed monster when it comes to Holly, but deep down that’s because she desperately wishes she could be more like her.’
The mum-of-five is allegedly envious of Holly’s success on ITV, with the blonde beauty being a fan favourite on This Morning.
‘Katie wants to be the queen of daytime again – not Holly, who’s at the top of her game.’
KP is said to be on the hunt to take back her crown from Holly, hoping to reclaim her place on the Loose Women panel.
‘She desperately wants her job back on Loose Women after leaving due to her marriage split and cocaine use – she says that will prove she’s queen bee again.’
Little Mix picked up the Change Makers award at the British LGBT Awards last night. And Jade took the chance to open up about how the band struggled with mental health issues after they won The X Factor in 2011, suggesting that ITV could do more to look after reality stars.
‘We were only 18 or 19 when we got thrown into the industry and it is a lot to handle,’ she told The Sun Online. ‘Maybe there could have been a bit more in place for mental health.’
‘We all have suffered in some way,’ she went on. ‘As four young women getting thrust into the industry, having everyone talking about how you look, just the press suddenly being in this industry was a lot for all of us.’
Jade revealed that the band turned to one another for support, before seeking professional help. ‘We’ve all gone through moments with our mental health,’ she confessed. ‘Whether it’s talking to someone, getting therapy. Now we are fully grown women, we are more confident to speak about mental health, which is really important.’
And Jesy Nelson is busy working on a documentary about mental health and body image. The popstar has gone through years of trolling and body-shaming on social media, which started when she was a contestant on The X Factor.
‘Mental health awareness is something we should all be talking about more,’ she says.
Kim shared the first picture of their new arrival along with the announcement.
Kim Kardashian announced the birth of the latest addition to the Kardashian West clan on 10th May, but we’ve had to wait over a week to find out the baby’s name.
The couple’s fourth child, a little boy, was born via surrogate last week. According to a spokesperson, he arrived on Thursday 9th May, weighing six pounds and nine ounces.
‘He’s here and he’s perfect!’ Kim tweeted at the time. ‘He’s also Chicago’s twin lol I’m sure he will change a lot but now he looks just like her.’
And now she’s taken to Instagram to (finally) reveal the new baby’s name, sharing a sweet Mother’s Day text from Kanye.
And while we wouldn’t expect them to use anything as basic as a baby names book, it looks like they’ve been turning to another source for inspiration: the Bible.
Kim posted a text message screenshot showing an adorable image of the new arrival sleeping in his cot. The picture was accompanied by a heartwarming message from her rapper husband which read:
‘Beautiful Mother’s Day
With the arrival of our fourth child
We are blessed beyond measure
We have everything we need’.
Kim captioned the post simply: ‘Psalm West’.
The reality star’s friends and fans were quick to congratulate her, liking the post more than three million times in 12 hours and posting over 50,000 comments.
Kim and Kanye have both been open about their Christian faith, and Kanye even leads his own Sunday church service.
Psalm already has two older sisters: North, who will turn six next month, and Chicago, one. Chicago was also born via surrogate. The couple also have another son, Saint, aged four.
And just like his siblings, Psalm West’s off-the-wall moniker has met with a mixed response from online commentators.
‘They named that baby Psalm. I think that’s adorable,’ one person tweeted.
But others slammed the couple’s decision. ‘No, no, not PSALM!!! Awful name!’ wrote one.
Well, we reckon he’s cute enough to get away with it.
‘I used to avoid this photo it would upset me because even thinking about this moment where I got trolled for the way I looked reminded me of the state of depression it sent me in to the point where I didn’t even want to leave the house!
‘But I don’t think that looking at this photo now! NOW I see a young girl living her best life appearing on a show she loves, showing off her best assets and her curves.’
She continued: ‘As far as becoming a good role model as like everyone I’m not and haven’t been perfect all I can do going forward is to try and help people, People like me who felt like their body defines them.
‘Its important we look after our bodies by eating good foods and exercising but we can do that whatever our shape or size. The truth is we have to be happy within ourselves, our brain is the most important thing we have to look after!!
‘Our bodies are beautiful no matter what anybody tries to tell us or persuade us to think. Throw your middle finger up to anyone who tells you your too thin, too fat, your stretchmarks are ugly, your body isn’t the right shape, your boobs are too small, too big, your bums too flat or too fat or you’re too fake!
‘Don’t listen to them. LOVE YOURSELF BECAUSE LIFE IS TOO SHORT. Please young girls and boys, ladies and men, be kind to yourself. Our mental health is everything please have breaks from social media, delete people on social media who make you feel bad about yourself, speak with family and friends, speak to your gp or helplines, just do NOT suffer alone and never feel like your beautiful body is not enough.
‘Live your best life #mentalhealthawareness #bodyimage #mentalhealth #selflove #selfcare.’
The singer has taken to Instagram to clear up the rumours
Mel B worried fans when it emerged she had to be rushed to hospital after going blind in one eye, with reports claiming it was down to a recurring herpes infection.
‘This has happened before. She has herpes in her eye, so this can happen,’ a source had claimed to PEOPLE magazine.
But Scary Spice, 43, has hit back at the speculation surrounding what caused the temporary blindness.
After thanking her fans for their support, Mel said: ‘Just so you know the real truth. I had an awful experience last week when I went blind in my right eye and my left eye went blurry.’
The singer insisted it had never happened to her before and rubbished the source stories claiming it had.
‘I was actually in a lot of pain and very very scared but thanks to the incredible eye specialists in A&E at London’s Moorfields Hospital and after at Luton and Dunstable University Hospital I was diagnosed by and eye specialist with severe IRITIS in my right eye and UVEITIS in my left eye.’
Iritis is swelling that affects the coloured ring around your pupil and the cause is often unknown, while uveitis is the inflammation of the middle coloured layer of the eye.
Mel B continued: ‘I’m taking multiple prescription heavy duty eye drops and other medication the dr gave me that I have to take every day to keep the inflammation under control.’
She added, ‘I’m still dealing with it and will be fir the next 3/4 months to fully get it under control but I’m no longer worried that my condition will get worse. My only problem now is I have to find a very cool Scary eye patch. Does anyone – apart from Madonna – know where I can get one??’
Mel, Emma Bunton, Mel C and Geri have been busy rehearsing for the tour which kicks off this Friday in Dublin.
The band will perform 12 dates, including three sold-out shows in London.
The official start date of this year’s series of Love Island was confirmed earlier this week, which means the countdown to the start of a long, hot summer of lurrrve has begun!
With the ITV dating show set to kick off on Monday 3rd June, a whole new bunch of sexy singletons are getting ready to enter the iconic Spanish villa.
The official line up of Islanders is yet to be released, but that doesn’t mean there hasn’t been plenty of speculation surrounding the batch of soon-to-be reality stars.
An insider told The Sun: ‘His body is ideal for being in swimwear all day, plus he’s a lovely bloke with a great sense of humour so is sure to be a hit with the ladies.
‘They are also hoping that he will bring some sexy salsa moves to the villa.’
Sophie Piper
Think this potential Islander looks familiar? Well, she’s the younger sister of former The Saturday’s singer and This Morning presenter, Rochelle Humes, and is the spitting image of her celebrity sibling!
The 20-year-old Essex beauty and Rochelle also share a third sis, Lili Piper, who shares the striking family resemblance and completes the triplet-like trio.
Speaking to The Sun, a source revealed: ‘An insider told The Sun: ‘ITV2 bosses are really keen for Soph to be the star of this year’s series.
‘Soph is the perfect Islander – she’s incredibly beautiful and loves meeting new people after already doing a season in Ibiza.’
Sairah Pinnock
Exclusive party planner Sairah Pinnock is the older sister of Little Mix super star Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
The 30-year-old Instagram influencer was supposedly meant to be on the show last year to shake things up in Casa Amor, although she never appeared.
At the time a source revealed: ‘Sairah is one of the Love Island reserves who could be thrown into the mix at any time during one of the episodes.
‘She’s had her fair share of bad relationships so is well and truly on the look-out for love and a long-term relationship.’
Ethan Allen
Anyone else noticing a theme here? Yep, this thought-to-be contestant is another celeb sibling!
Scouse model Ethan is the younger brother of Gaby Allen, who appeared on Love Island back in 2017, rising to fame when she fell for ex Blazin’ Squad member Marcel Somerville.
ITV bosses are reportedly keen to get the curly haired 23-year-old in the villa and fitness guru Gaby is said to be providing some sisterly support.
A source told The Sun: ‘Producers were keen to get him on board and he’s been in for a couple of meetings.
‘He’s not fully on board yet, and it’s too early to say who’s definitely going on the show, but he’s in talks and Gabby is encouraging him to do it.’
Jane Park
Jane already has over 200 thousand Instagram followers, thanks to a lucky EuroMillions win branding her the youngest UK millionaire when she was just 17-years-old.
The 20-year-old mega glam social media star is brushing the one million followers mark already and is also pals with former Love Island lad Adam Collard.
Ercan Ramadan
Vicky Pattison’s boyfriend, 35-year-old Ercan was reportedly approached by show execs earlier this year, although it seems unlikely Vic would be too pleased about the TOWIE star heading onto the island of love.
Meghan Markle’s glamorous transatlantic pals are flying in to see baby Archie, it is claimed.
Over the past week or so there has been a stream of royal visitors to Frogmore Cottage in Windsor including Princess Diana’s sister and of course the Queen.
But now it seems Meghan’s friends from her Suits days are keen to get in on the action.
Little Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor was born on May 6 and has only been pictured once – at an official photocall soon after he was born.
Earlier this week Meghan’s best friend Jessica Mulroney was spotted with her five-year-old daughter Ivy at a Canadian airport, about to board a plane to London.
Before that stylist Jessica, 39, posted a picture on Instagram of her little girl with the caption: “Packing for our first Mother/Daughter trip. Are matching shoes too much?”
One fan commented: “I hope you’re heading to London to meet Archie!”
Another said it “will be a very special trip” while yet a third said: “Tell them the Sussex squad army is here to defend them!”
Meghan’s other celebrity pal fashion designer Misha Nonoo is also set to visit, it is believed.
