Liam Payne and Cheryl are thought to be expecting in the New Year!
In recent weeks a Cheryl and Liam Payne‘s have been busy jetting across the globe amid a barrage of pregnancy rumours.
And a few snaps on a Charity red carpet the pair seem to have confirmed the news!
And blimey, they both look chuffed!
But Cheryl, 33, and the One Direction singer, 23, haven’t let distance get in the way of their baby plans. According to our insider, the couple – who’ve only been dating officially since February – were ready to start a family months back and even started getting the nursery ready.
The rumour mill that Cheryl is expecting her first child with Liam went into overdrive on Sunday 2 October when Cheryl stepped out on the L’Oreal red carpet in Paris and looked curvier than we have seen her in years. Onlookers even claimed they could see a bump.
This was following pictures that emerged of Cheryl’s mum, Joan, shopping in Newcastle’s Mothercare buying pregnancy pillows and a bump wedge, which pregnant women use to aid their sleep.
Then, as the weeks progressed we saw glimpses of Cheryl out at her perfume launch and even on the One Show where, from some angles, eagle-eyed fans claimed they could see a noticeable ‘bump.’
Then on 29 November Cheryl and Liam stepped out at a Charity event, with beaming smiles and what was evidently a very notable baby bump.
A source told Now: ‘Cheryl’s never been more determined to have a baby. It’s like it’s the only thing in the world that matters to her. She’s never been so focused on something,’ reveals our source.
‘She’s always been very anxious about being able to conceive and sees this as her opportunity to have the baby she’s always wanted. She’d been prepping every element of her life to give this her best shot – and Liam’s really excited about it.
‘Cheryl has a stash of pregnancy and motherhood books she’s always reading. She wants to be completely mentally prepared so she can be the best parent.’
Earlier in the year, Now reported that Liam was asking former bandmate Louis Tomlinson, 24, who’s dad to nine-month-old Freddie, for advice on fatherhood. And our source says he and Cheryl can’t wait to be parents.
‘There’s even a bedroom at the house they’ve designated as “the nursery”. They always chat about what they’re going to do with it, the colour scheme and every little detail. It’s really cute. Cheryl’s never planned like this before. This is her goal, this is what she wants and she’s putting everything into it – even her career has to be put on hold.’
It’s not a total surprise for fans, who’ve speculated for some time that a mini ‘Chiam’ may be imminent, and following Cheryl’s new appearance in L’Oréal’s latest advert campaign, which sees her looking fuller-faced, Directioners were quick to put two and two together and suggest she’s already expecting.
Even Simon Cowell fanned the flames in a recent interview, saying; ‘Cheryl would be an amazing mum. I’ve seen her with my son Eric and other kids over the years and she’s incredible – I think she’s in a good place in her life right now.’
And when asked about reports of the pair trying for a baby, Simon, 56, added: ‘I guess that’s what happens when you’re with someone.’
Even Cheryl’s BFF Kimberley Walshdidn’t deny the news when she stepped out and spoke to press at the Pride of Britain awards.
Is it even the most wonderful time of the year until you’ve heard the opening bars of All I Want For Christmas Is You at least ten dozen times? We think not.
Mariah Carey: the ultimate diva and the queen of Christmas. Every year Mimi, 46, makes it her mission to spread festive cheer all around the world – and she does it so well.
Here’s just five of the times Mariah proved she should just change her name to Mrs Claus…
All I Want For Christmas Is You
It’s a classic and December wouldn’t be the same without Mariah’s 1994 hit. Co-written and produced by woman herself, AIWFCIY has sold around 14 million copies worldwide and nets Mariah a staggering £376,000 a year!
Her Rockefeller Centre Holiday performances
For the past five years Mariah has kicked off Christmas in New York City with a magical performance at the Rockefeller Centre. In 2014 some people – who can only be described as Scrooges – claimed MC’s vocals aren’t what they used to be. Her debut Christmas album came out more than 20 YEARS ago, people… of course her voice has changed!
Her fabulously festive outfits
Mariah Carey looks sensational all the time, but only she can basically dress up as a Christmas tree and still pull it off. Whether it’s sparkles in red, silver and/or gold or a daring white fur-trimmed Santa’s outfit, Mimi always brings the holiday cheer.
She and Nick Cannon split in December 2014, but Mariah teams up with her ex-husband every year to give their five-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe a proper family Christmas – MC style, of course. Because she knows it’s the most important time of the year, dahlings…
THIS song with John Legend
All of Mariah’s Christmas songs are brilliant, but our second favourite (after AIWFCIY) is When Christmas Comes with John Legend. It’s festive, it’s soulful and the video is totally fabulous. Watch it below and we dare you not to love it.
Because giving AND receiving are both as good as each other on the festive seasons of the famouses

Kim Kardashian
The Kardashians celebrate Christmas with friends and family, Los Angeles, America - 24 Dec 2009
If Becks was your husband/dad/uncle/second cousin twice removed you’d be pretty upset if he got you a crap present. Thankfully, as well as being the world’s most attractive man, he’s also adept at buying great gifts – especially ones too big to fit under a Christmas tree. He once bought VB a Rolls Royce Phantom to celebrate 25 December, which costs over £300,000. In 2012, he bought Victoria TWO pairs of pjs, but – quelle surprise – they weren’t those heavily discounted last season ones your mum buys you in the M&S outlet in January. Nope. They were £400 a pair Olivia Van Halle silk pyjamas from Harrods. But he was once spotted in his local M&S in London picking up wrapping paper, so at least he’s still 12 per cent normal.

Victoria Beckham
Victoria’s pretty flash with her festive gifts too, and isn’t outdone by her husband’s present prowess. She bought David a work by artist Tracey Emin – not the unmade bed, that wouldn’t have been so pleasant. Instead, she forked out over £80,000 on a neon heart in 2014 called ‘For You’ from White Cube gallery in London, and brought the kids along to help her choose the present. The work features the quote, “I felt you and I knew you loved me x”, which is nice. They’re not the only footballing couple to own the work, as Louise Redknapp bought one for Jamie too. You’d hope they got some kind of FA discount, right?
Paris Hilton
Not confident that Santa would shove the best presents down the chimney, Paris took matters into her own hands and bought them herself. After wanting a pink car since the dawn of time, in 2008 Paris self-gifted a £240,000 Bentley Continental GT with diamond encrusted dashboard. Then in 2011, she bagged herself a California Spyder Ferrari on Black Friday – a least a month before Christmas – for the bargain sum of £228,383. Well if you can’t treat yourself at Christmas, when can you? “I love it, it’s so pretty,” explained Paris of the pink mobile. “I’ve just always wanted a pink car. I think when you’re a little girl and you have the Barbie Corvette you’re like, “I wish I had a car like this one.” Totally.
Here begins the celebrity equivalent of buying a piece of land in Scotland for a fiver and becoming a Lord. In happier times, Angelina and Brad bought each other some pretty cool presents. Including a waterfall. Ange splashed out on the h2o curtain in California in 2012 for Brad’s 48th birthday AND his Christmas gift. Brad – who was obviously thrilled by his ownership of a fraction of the natural world – had planned to build a house over the waterfall, in the style of his favourite architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who built something similar back in 1935. Fancy. Sadly, they’ve now split. Wonder if Brad sent the waterfall back to Ange with a note saying: “I never liked it anyway”?
Jude Law
Remember when Jude Law and Sienna Miller was a ‘thing’? Back in 2012, it culminated in a £140,000 Christmas gift comprising a baby grand piano with an engagement ring hidden inside, which apparently is also ‘a thing’ when you’ve got shed loads of cash. Jude had the piano wheeled into the couple’s North London mansion, and hid the £130,000 sapphire diamond ring inside the contraption, because that’s far better than hiding a ring inside a tiramisu at Pizza Express like us norms. According to a source, Sienna “wept” when she opened the piano lid, probably because she wasn’t very good at the piano as she hadn’t actually played the instrument since she was a child. Thoughtful Jude forked out for lessons as well.
Jay Z likes to channel Father C at Christmas, gifting his wife and pals with nice presents that aren’t just a lifetime subscription to Tidal. In 2010, he treated Beyonce to £280,000 worth of Hermes bags under the Z-Knowles tree. With the bags costing anywhere between £10,000 and £100,000 each, it’s fair to say she got a few of them in her festive haul. Jay was spotted dropping big money on Bey’s gift in the Hermes shop on Christmas Eve – so basically it was just the celebrity version of panic buying a bunch of flowers and a box of Milk Tray from the garage. But way, way better.
Tom Cruise
Christmas is a minefield, right? So to avoid what could have caused a massive tantrum, Tom bought his youngest daughter Suri – then five – every product in existence for Christmas 2011. More then Santa could ever fit in his workshop. She got over £100,000 worth of gifts, including a pony (obviously), a £24,000 mini race car, diamond earrings (what every five year old wants and needs) and a wardrobe full of fairy princess gowns. He was also rumoured to have bought her a £13.5 million mansion in New York, which was clearly 2011’s must-have gift for the under-10s, in which to keep all her expensive – and numerous – presents. Maybe she’s a very organised child, who loves nothing more than sorting out DIY and mortgages?
Nick Cannon
Mariah Carey claims she only wants ‘you’ for Christmas which is a nice (and cheap) thought. But year after year, inevitably ‘you’ gets shoved out of the picture for lavish presents. Case in point? The former former Mr Mariah Carey, Nick, bought Mimi a personalised Rolls Royce Phantom for Christmas in 2011, with the number plate ‘MommyMC’. Classy. She tweeted a picture of the car with the caption, “Still getting over my Christmas gift from @NickCannon. License plate:mommyMC :)”.

When you are rich, you don’t let meteorology get in the way of your fun. Step forward Tori Spelling, who reportedly gifted her husband Dean McDermott a shed load of snow for Christmas in 2009. Tori’s dad, the late TV and film producer Aaron Spelling (the man behind Beverly Hills 90210 and Sunset Beach) had set the ridiculous bar high when she was a kid, paying £800,000 to fill the tennis courts in their LA mansion with fake snow. Like father, like daughter, when Tori recreated the gift for husband Dean. But now Tori’s allegedly not really got any money, so frivolous purchases have probably been relegated for 2016. Shame, we bet he was well excited about getting some more fake snow.
Ben Affleck
Ben likes to treat the women in his life to fancy jewels over the festive season: for his ex Jennifer Garner, he once bought a seven-carat diamond ring, although he’s since admitted he “spends the whole time fretting… and being nervous” about buying Jen gifts and ends up buying tat in a local shop on Christmas Eve. In 2003 he bought Jennifer Lopez a £84,000 jewel-encrusted toilet seat, with rubies, sapphires and diamonds. Erm, OK then. Best to just send the money instead next time, Ben.
A photo posted by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on
Kanye West is a very generous chap. When his daughter North was six months old and celebrating her first Christmas, he splashed out on an exact replica of his Lamborghini which would have cost thousands of pounds. The following year he dropped £60,000 on 18-month-old Nori, including a diamond-encrusted tiara and a replica of his matte black SUV for her to play with. Kim gets spoilt too – last year he bought her 150 presents, many of which featured on a Kardashian livestream. “We’ve got ‘To Kim from Kanye,” explained Kris Jenner’s bf Corey Gamble on the footage, “150 gifts and counting.” The black-wrapped gifts – which Kanye bought over Skype with the help of his assistant – included a Prada jumpsuit and a Louis Vuitton dress. We wouldn’t expect anything less.
Kylie and Kendall
Back in 2012 when Kylie Jenner had a completely different face, she enjoyed a pretty straightforward (but obviously hugely expensive) Christmas. Aged 15, Kylie got two Celine bags costing at least £2500 each, and Kendall, then 17, got a £1000 pair of spiked Louboutins. Spiked Louboutins on a 17-year-old year old? That’s not weird at all. Anyway, the best thing we got as teens was a £10 Topshop voucher and a three pack of snowman knickers from Primark, but times have changed. Oh, and the previous year the pair got two chocolate Labrador puppies, Louis and Vuitton, which haven’t been seen since 2012. Not cool, guys.
Christmas Day is the best, but don't pretend you can't relate to these cracking GIFs...
Christmas is the most magical time of the year! Mainly because it combines all our favourite aspects of life: family, food and booze. Oh, and loads of presents.
But with every event that mixes all those factors – see weddings, christenings, bar mitzvahs – the day is guarenteed to be ridiculous, with arguments, embarrassing questions from elderly relatives and the secret but palpable tension when someone opens your present. Well it’s all part of the fun! So here are 17 gifs that will sum up your experience with the festive period…
They really are getting in the festive spirit, and we don't blame them!

Christmas 2016... it's going to be a roller-coaster.
It’s a roller-coaster of Turkey, tinsel and weird Aunts that you try to avoid for the most part of the year but are forced to encounter on Christmas day.
Fearing loosing your mind amongst the countless Prosecco’s? (To be fair, we can think of worse ways to go…). You’re not alone- these are the 21 emotions you are bound to feel during Christmas day…
1. The ‘It’s 1am and I really should get some sleep and I probably shouldn’t of stayed for that long at the pub because now I might be more than a bit merry and I’m going to have to drink 7 glasses of water pronto because Auntie Louisa’s kids will wake us up at the crack of flipping dawn’. This stage of the festivities is often swiftly followed with the panicked chugging of roughly five pints of water.
2. *Wakes up to sound of very excited little people running around the house* *Rubs eyes* *Checks Phone* *Remembers it’s Christmas day* *Surge of unexpected but very welcome excitement*.
3. You realise that actually, although you’re a real life adult with responsibilities and all that you really wouldn’t mind everyone HURRYING-THE-CHRISTMAS-ELF-UP OPENING THEIR PRESENTS BECAUSE, HELLO PEOPLE, I WANNA CHECK OUT MY STASH!
4. *Inner hair flick*…Totally bossed the ‘disappointing-present-but-pretending-to-love-it’ face. Might have even been more convincing than 2014’s face. But never as good as 2011’s reaction- that was the real Oscar winner.
5. *Trying to summon composure* C’mon… you don’t need Santa. You’re a strong, independent woman. Although, he was pretty cool. Sigh.
6. ‘Yes mum, this is my seventh Buck’s Fizz. Yes mum, it is mixed with vodka. Yes mum, I know it’s 10am. No mum, I don’t think I should slow down and have a water’. *Hic*
7. Whilst attempting to aid your mother in the peeling of vegetable, you are suddenly overwhelmed with a strong regret for your seven (ten) consumed tipples this morning. Try and enjoy Christmas with a self-amputated thumb, why don’t you…
8. You may find yourself in a mid-morning Buck’s Fizz induced rage. WHAT DO YOU MEAN DINNER IS GOING TO TAKE ANOTHER TWO HOURS TO COOK!?
9. It’s at this point you will probably find yourself in what’s known as ‘the Christmas void’. All the kids are playing with their new toys, the festive television is yet to grace your screen and the dinner is yet to be feasted on- leaving you with absolutely nothing to do. The answer? Prosecco.
10. The naked stage. Far too merry. Will have probably have taken off clothes under the delusion that we are Kendall Jenner.
12. DINNER TIME! *Explosion of happiness*.
13. Complete and utter memory loss of every table manner ever understood. But this is the least you’d do for those pigs-in-blankets.
14. Momentary reflection on whether you’d sell Auntie Louisa for some pigs-in-blankets. Continues eating.
15.James Bond mode activated. There is absolutely no way that you’re doing those dishes. Not today, Satan. *Hides*.
16. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
17. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
18. The post-nap panic that you’ve missed the Eastenders Christmas special.
19. You totally haven’t missed Eastenders– joy to the world! Settles self in front of TV in perfect contentment- if a little hungover.
20. Gorges on cold turkey sandwiches, Strictly Come Dancing and Quality Street’s. Momentary soppy gratefulness.
21. Puts on Christmas pyjamas and bids farewell to Christmas day 2015.
Get ready for a bonkers festive trip down memory lane
Cheeky Girls launching Winter Wonderland at Millenium Dome, London 6 December 2003
It’s Christmas time, folks! Which means presents, parties and all of our old favourite festive songs playing over and over again until they start to drive us a wee bit insane.
Naturally we’re thinking they’ll be plenty of Mariah Carey, Wham and the like belting out from shopping centre speakers to get us in the mood this year – but for every All I Want For Christmas Is You there’s a TOTALLY forgotten about festive tune that’s been left behind like the ghost of Christmas past. Awww.
Yep, over the years we’ve had all sorts of seasonal and rather surreal numbers enter the charts around December time and sadly many fail to become the classics we hear year in year out.
So, being the kind souls that we are, we decided to go for a festive trip down memory lane and dust off a few of these unfortunate songs to give them their place in the spotlight for the first (and most likely last) time in a while.
Remember THESE tunes, anyone?
Cheeky Girls – Have A Cheeky Christmas
Who could forget Gabriela and Monica Irimia, the Romanian twin sisters who found fame on Popstars: The Rivals back in 2002? They had a short-lived pop career which started with the modestly named The Cheeky Song (Touch My Bum) and eventually resulted in their very own Christmas tune a year later.
Craig Phillips – At This Time Of Year
Speaking of reality TV stars making festive tunes… Craig the builder famously won the first ever series of Big Brother in 2000 and swapped his tools for a microphone by bringing out this seasonal song. It’s not the best but we’ll totally forgive Craig as it was all for a good cause, raising money for a Down’s Syndrome charity.
Band Aid II
Okay, we know Band Aid is obviously a BIG deal and lots of people remember Band Aid 20 and Band Aid 30. But we feel like Band Aid II, the 1989 version featuring the likes of Kylie Minogue and Cliff Richard, has kind of been overlooked.
Rihanna – It Just Don’t Feel Like Christmas Without You
Did anybody else know that Rihanna did a Christmas song or is it just us that were TOTALLY in the dark about this? It’s all a far cry from her more recent racier fare, but also kind of cute as Ri-Ri sings about missing a special someone at Christmas. *sigh* Oh we’ve all been there, Ri…
Alvin and The Chipmunks – Christmas Don’t Be Late
Er, definitely one that we’ll admit we’re happy was left in the past. See how long you can last before switching off the ‘cute’ high-pitched voices of animated chipmunks Alvin, Simon and Theodore belting out this novelty number.
Las Ketchup – The Ketchup Song (Christmas Version)
Remember Las Ketchup? The Spanish girl group who had an unexpected hit with their song about, um, ketchup in 2002? They returned for a festive edition of the track but it’s kind of hard to tell the difference other than some jingly bells. Still, they made an effort.
Ricky Tomlinson – Christmas, My Arse!
And now for something totally different! In 2006 actor Ricky Tomlinson took the catchphrase made famous by his character Jim in TV comedy The Royle Family and turned it into a Christmas song, the charmingly titled Christmas, My Arse! Given that it’s not really one for all the family, we’re not entirely surprised that it didn’t become a classic. Sorry, Ricky.

Seriously guys, you've got our wombs all a-flutter!
This year has been a busy one for many celebrities, especially with their partners! It seems there will be tons of new arrivals coming in the new year and the way that some of the stars announced their news has just been the cutest! From Instagram posts to tweets. From baby scans to little booties. It’s no surprise that we have all gotten a bit excited. We just love a pregnant celebrity!
Check out some of the cutest announcements so far…
1.Helen Skelton and Richie Myler
The ex Blue Peter presenter Helen Skelton and her professional English rugby Playing husband Richie Myler announced on Instagram earlier in November that they were expecting baby number two. But what made this announcement so adorable is that their son was holding a sign that read ‘Ready for partner in crime pre-spring 2017’. The question is are Helen and Richie ready for the mischief?

2. Gal Gadot and Yaron Versano
‘So excited to share this wonder with you...’ This was the caption to Gal and husband Yaron’s post. The couple made the announcement of baby number two via Instagram and fans were just over the moon. The Wonder Woman actress and her husband got married back in 2008 and were soon after had their first child. It will definitely be a busy new year for this couple with the new Wonder Woman film coming out too!
The former spice girl announced her pregnancy on Instagram as well with a beautiful quote that said ‘God bless mother nature #mamaspice’ and we are SO excited for the little spice to arrive. With the announcement being made back in October we could be hearing the little pitter patter of their first child’s feet in the Spring!
Billie and Greg’s family seems to be getting bigger and bigger every year, so why stop at 2017? They announced their exciting news on Instagram whilst on holiday in October with their little girl pointing at mummy’s tummy. We can’t wait for baby number four!
They have been one of the nations favourite couple this year, which is why we all balled over with excitement when Rochelle displayed the most incredible pregnancy shoot of all time! The Saturdays singer and ex JLS boy band member announced they’re expecting on Instagram. Rochelle showed off her perfect baby bump at the end of November and we can bet that this is the best early Christmas present for the couple!

6. PINK and Carey Hart
PINK has been in and out of the limelight for a couple of years now. But November showcased a beautiful baby announcement with an incredible photograph of PINK and her daughter Willow cuddling her baby bump with the most gorgeous setting. It really was the picture perfect announcement…
The One Show presenter Alex announced her first pregnancy with partner Charlie back in October and we couldn’t be more thrilled. The Instagram post showed a baby grow with the caption ‘coming soon…’ But how soon is the question?
Who’s excited for the first Love Island baby? From the first season of the show back in 2015 it was clear that this couple were perfection! Cally Jane Beech and Luis Morrison made their baby debut on Instagram earlier this year after Cally had been M.I.A from being unwell. Well, it seems that the unwell feeling was non other than morning sickness. And news has it that if it’s a boy they will be naming him Jamal. AWH!

9. Ciara and Russell Wilson
Singer Ciara and NFL star Russell Wilson announced their news in October too. Just before their wedding that took place three-months ago the couple announced that they were abstaining from sex until they were married because they wanted their wedding night antics to be ‘steamy’. Russell also uploaded the same Instagram picture and captioned it ‘The Greatest Blessing of All. Forever Grateful. #BabyWilsonOnTheWay.’ Let’s face it, they are soon to be the perfect family!
Strictly Come Dancing’s Aliona and husband Vincent uploaded the most romantic picture of Vincent kissing Aliona’s baby bump when they announced they were expecting in November. They called it their ‘little miracle’. CUTE!

11. Carl Hyland and Kieron Richardson
Last but not least are actors Carl and Kieron. The couple put shivers down own spines when they uploaded their magical video up on Instagram announcing that they are expecting twins after going through 18-months of IVF. Kieron is best known for his role as Ste on the award winning soap Hollyoaks and partner Carl is known for his roles in Brittania High, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks too! We are so happy for the couple and can’t wait to meet both new additions in the New Year!
Stars including Madonna and Robbie Williams pay tribute to the late Wham! singer
Singer and 80s pop icon George Michael has died at his home at the age of 53.
The star, who launched his career with Wham! in the 1980s and had huge success as a solo performer, ‘passed away peacefully’ on Christmas Day in Goring, Oxfordshire, his publicist said.
His manager, Michael Lippman, said he had died of heart failure.
Former Wham! bandmate said he was ‘heartbroken at the loss of my beloved friend’.
Heartbroken at the loss of my beloved friend Yog. Me, his loved ones, his friends, the world of music, the world at large. 4ever loved. A xx https://t.co/OlGTm4D9O6
George shot to fame with close friend AJ as pop duo Wham! in the 1980s. They had hits including Last Christmasand Club Tropicana.
Michael then went solo and his 1987 album Faith sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.
Sadly, in the late 90s he later began facing headlines for reasons other than his music.
After years of refusing to be drawn on speculation about his sexuality, Michael disclosed he was gay in 1998 after being was arrested in a public toilet in Beverly Hills, California, for engaging in a lewd act.
The music video for the single that followed, Outside, featured a men’s bathroom transformed into a disco and policemen kissing.
In October 2006 he pleaded guilty to driving while unfit through drugs, and in 2008 was cautioned for possession of class A drugs, including crack cocaine.
In September 2010, Michael received an eight-week prison sentence following an incident in which he crashed his Range Rover into a shop in north London. He admitted driving under the influence of drugs and possessing cannabis.
His family released a statement which read:
‘It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period.
‘The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult and emotional time. There will be no further comment at this stage.’
It’s been a huge year for Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock…
Little Mix at BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards, London 23 October 2016
Little Mix have basically sponsored 2016 and, somehow, we’re even more obsessed with than we were at the beginning of the year. Here’s their best moments from the past 12 months…
1. The Brits
Jesy, Perrie, Jade and Leigh-Anne kicked off their mammoth year with an incredible appearance at the Brit Awards. They performed smash hit Black Magic and won praise for their stage presence, dancing and costumes.
2. Red carpet icons
While we’re on the subject of the Brits, a special mention has to go to the girls’ red carpet outfits on the night. For some reason 2016 marked the year they turned into superstars in every way – just look at them!

3. The Get Weird tour
The biggest girl band in the world had the biggest-selling arena tour of 2016… beating mega star Adele! It was also the fifth highest-grossing tour of a girl group of all time, raking in more than £19m.
4. Wishmaker
Is there anything these girls can’t do? In July they released fragrance Wishmaker, the follow up to 2015’s Gold Magic.
5. Leigh-Anne buys first house AND a £100k car
In October Leigh-Anne, 25, bought her first home and, when you consider it came just weeks after she’d purchased a £100k car, we imagine it is beautiful. Little Mix now have a combined estimated net worth of £12m, so we can’t blame them for splashing out…
They’re not just beautiful and super talented: while promoting Shout Out To My Ex, the girls also proved they could have a joke. When Capital FM host Roman Kemp asked if the song was about any exes in particular, Leigh-Anne pretended to storm out of the interview – leaving Roman feeling very awkward…
8. Sassy comebacks
After they appeared on The X Factor to perform SOTME, Little Mix were slammed by some for their ‘skimpy’ stage outfits, and even Mel C had something to say. But as they prepared to hit the stage the Radio 1 Teen Awards a week later, Jesy hit back with a dress that had ‘Too provocative?’ written across her bum. Sassy…
Continuing their domination, Little Mix released fourth album Glory Days in November. It went straight to number one, and had the highest first week sales for a girl band since Spice Girls’ Spiceworld in 1997. It was also the fastest-selling album since Destiny’s Childs’ Survivor in 2001. Slay, girls.
10. Dangerous women
In October it was confirmed Little Mix would be hitting the road in America – as the support act for Ariana Grande’s Dangerous Woman tour in 2017!
A big night out didn’t stop Jesy appearing on Sunday Brunch the next day. She and Perrie had hit the town the night before, and Jesy was hailed a hero for attempting to cook with a mammoth hangover. One viewer tweeted: ‘Watching Sunday Brunch and realising Jesy is all of us after a night out!’ And another said: ‘Is Jesy still drunk?! She’s bloody hilarious!’
12. No break-up questions…
During a promotional trip to Australia in November, it was revealed that Jesy had split from fiancé Jake Roche – but the girls had her back. When asked about it by hosts Fizzy and Wippa, Jade responded: ‘That’s brutal, that!’
She then crumpled their notes, before Perrie added: ‘Next question, sir! What are you going to do without your paper now, smart ar*e?’
13. ‘Zayn’s a b*tch!’
Little Mix’s fans, known as the Mixers, definitely give the Directioners a run for their money. During one of the girls’ performances in November, one supporter shouted out ‘Zayn is a b*tch’, causing Perrie, Leigh-Anne, Jade and Jesy to dissolve into fits of giggles…
14. They proved they really are sisters
Both Jesy and Perrie have been through tough break ups this year, but at least they’ve had each other and the girls to get them through. During an appearance on the Jonathan Ross show in November, Jesy explained: ‘That’s what’s lovely about being in a group, we all support each other and when we’re going through bad times we can all relate to it.’
We cannot get enough of Little Mix and clearly they know this because in December they confirmed they’re in talks to get their own reality show! Jade revealed: ‘We’re creating our own pitch so fingers crossed!’
16. The X Factor final
We know it was supposed to be about this year’s finalists, but Little Mix completely stole the show at The X Factor final – exactly five years after they were crowned the winners in 2011. They performed Oops and Touch from Glory Days, and had people tweeting that they’d basically won the show… and we kind of agreed.
To summarise: Little Mix ruled the world in 2016, and we CAN’T wait to see what they get up to next year…
Sorry peeps! All that Christmas grub racks up in calories. Want to work it off? Our expert reveals how...
Christmas is just our absolute fave time of year! All that food, all that drink, all those nibbles…
Thing is, all these calories that we’re consuming can take a while to burn off. We don’t want to sound all scrooge-like, but if
you fancy staying in shape this festive season, Marie Bostock, personal trainer at Xercise4Less, has revealed the ways to work
off your christmas food…
Based turkey crown (100g)
169 kcal, protein 32,4g, carbohydrate 0.1g, sugars 0.1g, fibre 0.7g
The main food on your plate is packed full of protein, so it’s a pretty healthy choice. BUT to burn it off you’ll need to get walking…for 110 min. Or, you could bike for 83 min or even enjoy a 32 min run!
Pigs in blankets (18g)
58.5kcal, protein 2.5g, fat 5.1g, carbohydrate 0.3g, sugars 0g
ARGH these blimmin’ beauties are easy to consume at a rapid pace! Get running for 11 minutes though and you should burn
them off. Or take a 38 minute walk or a 29 min bike ride.
Why does the tastiest food also have to be the most calorific? Devote Sunday to lots of exercise to burn off your festive pud.
Opt for a 192 minute walk, a 144 minute bike ride or a 55 minute run. Ouch!
Celebrations Chocolates (per 100g)
497 kcal, protein 5.6g, fat 25g, carbohydrate 61.7g, sugar 54.7g
We. Just. Can’t. Stop. Eating. These. 100g of chocs is easy to get through but the exercise needed to burn them off is not so
enjoyable as the eating. Get running for 93 minutes…
Baileys original Irish cream (Glass 37ml)
Calories 129.9 kcal protein 0.g fat 5.8 g sugars total 0.carbohydrate 7.4g
Wanna burn off your Baileys? get on your bike for just over an hour…yes, it really is that calorific!!
Mulled wine (250ml)
Calories 375 fat 0g sugar 0g protein 0g carbohydrates 0g
The mulled variety of wine is far tastier than the norm, we reckon! But a 244 minute walk is what’s needed to work off a large glass. How about a 70 minute run instead!? Eeesh.

'MR. AND MRS SMITH' FILM SET, LOS ANGELES, AMERICA - 22 JAN 2004
This year has seen some of the biggest stars go through some real heartbreak, but also seen them moving on. We take a look back through the top 10 most shocking break-ups and what exactly happened…
10. Lucy Mecklenburgh and Louis Smith
February bought real heartache between ex TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh and Olympian Louis Smith. The couple started dating in October of 2014 and it was said they split because ‘they wanted different things’. It was such a shame as we were all feeling the love with this couple. Especially as they spent their first anniversary in Thailand on a romantic trip. Louis took a dating ban ahead of his Rio 2016 Olympics, which means there is no new relationship there and Lucy seems to still be single. Lets hope 2017 brings these two some more loving!
9. Justin Bieber and Sofia Ritchie
Just as we thought he’d moved on from his first love Selena Gomez, BOOM! Justin Bieber announced that he ‘didn’t want a relationship’ this September resulting in him breaking up with Lionel Ritchie’s daughter, Sofia after a few months of them dating. But fans didn’t take this too lightly, as Justin then QUIT Instagram after having too many opinions thrown his way, including some from his ex Selena.
8. Georgia May Foote and Giovanni Pernice
August saw a very unexpected break-up! The couple locked eyes when ex Coronation Street star Georgia took part in Strictly Come Dancing 2015 and was partnered with the Italian dancing heart-throb Giovanni. It is said that Georgia wasn’t expecting the split at all. ‘She’s devastated and in shock because it was not something she was expecting.’ Despite the split, Georgia May Foote has stayed strong and put on a united front, including wishing Giovanni a happy birthday a few weeks later.
7. Charlotte Crosby and Gaz Beadle
We have all seen their on-off relationship for the past few years, but January of 2016 saw Charlotte Crosby and Gary Beadle (‘Gaz’) official call their relationship off! The relationship took a rocky turn in the beginning of the year, when Gaz was apparently cosying up to a beauty queen and it wasn’t Charlotte! Things then went from bad to worse as we watched the young Geordie Shore star getting it on with other girls on the MTV show Ex on the Beach earlier this year, and all whilst Charlotte was sadly going through an ectopic pregnancy. When asked about the split on This Morning she responded with ‘I don’t think I want to go back there any more. Nah. It’s over now.’ Thankfully, Charlotte has been showing the nation she is moving on and has recently been dating the real-life Tarzan, Ash Harrison! You go girl!
6. Millie Mackintosh and Professor Green
Ex Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh and rapper Professor Green got married in 2013, and it really was the perfect wedding! But it seems the married life wasn’t as picture perfect as they made out. In 2015 they were both slammed with work and doing their own thing. February saw the couple split and it was put down to the fact they didn’t see enough of each other. So much so, the rapper revealed he had only seen his wife once in a whole year! It was also rumoured that Millie was ‘reluctant’ to having children, whereas Professor Green was looking to have children ‘in the near future’. But Millie wont be going into the new year alone… Soon after her split with Professor Green, she rekindled her relationship with ex co-star and ex boyfriend, Hugo Taylor.
5. Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston
It’s safe to say, Taylor has been through her fair share of men, including Harry Styles and Calvin Harris. But we really thought she had hit the jackpot when her and Tom Hiddleston announced their relationship. Apparently the English actor ‘grew tired of her’ resulting in the couple breaking up in September. Soz Tay, onto the next!
The Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson was swept off her feet back in July when her boyfriend Jake Roche proposed to her on stage whilst Ed Sheeran serenaded them. It was definitely up there on proposal of the year. The couple confirmed their unexpected break up after Jesy had been spotted out and about without her engagement ring and after she unfollowed her fiancée on Instagram in November. Loose Women presenter and Jake’s mum, Coleen Nolan revealed ‘It’s amicable on both sides.’ She continued ‘they’re both dealing with it really well and are still good friends.’ And this has all happened since July! It has most certainly been a busy year for the two of them…
The year didn’t exactly start on an all-time high. January saw the nation’s favourite,Cheryl and her 18-month husband Jean Bernard Fernandez-Versini split up but their divorce wasn’t finalised until October and it took no more than 14 seconds too! Talk about get out quick Cheryl. It was said that ‘Cheryl wasn’t the girl for him’. But hope isn’t lost as Cheryl and One Direction star, Liam Payne can now happily get on with their relationship and welcome their new addition to the family soon. Aww.
Singer Mariah Carey and billionaire James Packer called a day to their engagement and relationship in October. The couple got engaged earlier this year and was spotted flashing her $7.5 million dollar ring! Whilst on The Ellen DeGeneres Show she claimed ‘Everything happens for a reason. Things are the way they are.’ We are still unsure as to why the couple have split, but it’s rumoured she has moved on already! Clearly Packer wasn’t what she wanted underneath her Christmas tree…
1. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
This had to be one of the most shocking of all break-ups! Angelina and Brad have been relationship goals for years. They even had their own couple nickname ‘Brandelina’. Well, Brangelina is no more! The couple put their split down to ‘irreconcilable differences’. They first got together over ten-years ago and finally got married in 2014 with a surprise wedding and they share SIX children. The divorce is still currently being finalised. It’s no wonder fans were absolutely distraught, we still are!
Let’s be honest, this family have been taking over our lives since they began. But the Kardashian-Jenner klan have been smothering our news feed for the last year with all sorts of goss!
So we thought we’d take a look back over the past 12 months of their lives. There was boobs, butts, romance and A LOT of selfies!

When Fergie launched her music video ‘M.I.L.F.’ earlier this year the last thing we expected was for Kim Kardashian to be one of the main parts in the music video. We also didn’t expect her to be taking a milk shower in the video. But let’s be honest – Kim is the top M.I.L.F around. She is one HOT mama! Unfortunately, the video got people talking about Kim’s extremely small waist leaving her to defend herself and how photoshop hadn’t been used.
2. WHEN KOURTNEY AND SCOTT’S LEFT US IN RELATIONSHIP LIMBO
Kourtney and Scott have been the strobe light relationship of the Kardashian family for as long as we can remember. But this year we saw them split up once again, which felt like forever! Not to worry though – they have recently been spotted back together so all is well in the world again. [and breath]
3. WHEN KIM AND KANYE’S EX AMBER ROSE TOOK THIS SELFIE!
Remember when Kim Kardashian had a selfie with Amber Rose? It was an epic moment wasn’t it? January saw Kim’s husband, Kanye West diss Amber’s youngest son in the worst way. But clearly Kim didn’t want to get involved in the drama so her and Amber took to Instagram just one week later to show their united front together. It sent everyone on social media crazy as tweets came flooding in with confusion. ‘Is anyone else confused about #AmberRose and #KimKardashian posting pics with each other? #TeaAnyone?’ one fan wrote. We can’t imagine Kanye was impressed about this…

Kim was on top form this year when it came to the selfie game! Not only did she have that selfie with Amber Rose, but she also took a very naughty censored one in her bathroom. It sent the whole world into an absolute frenzy and inspired many more naked selfies by other celebs including Courtney Stodden and Emily Ratajkowski. We wonder what selfie 2017 will bring?
At the beginning of the year we never knew if Kylie and boyfriend Tyga were coming or going. Well, we can safety say when this picture was launched earlier in November that they are definitely on! Kylie uploaded this picture, with another on Instagram to celebrate her beau’s birthday and we are sure he was a very happy boy. Aww.
6. WHEN KENDALL JENNER WENT BLONDE…
We have seen her sisters change their hair colour like there is no tomorrow. But when Kendall Jenner stepped out of that balmain party in March with bleach blonde locks and her best friend Gigi Hadid as a brunette we just had to stop for a moment or two. The models decided to swap their hair colours for the evening and we LOVED it! Also, how much does Kendall look like Kim here?
Khloe has for sure had one of the biggest body transformation we’ve seen and this year she has been all about the fitter life. Promoting fitness brands and showing her moves on Instagram has been just some of the ways she has been proving that if she can loose weight and keep fit, then anyone can. Unfortunately not everybody has believed her as she came under fire for re-touching one of her post-workout pictures. After her followers threw some hate out there, she decided to honour their wishes and post up the untouched version with the caption ‘If only hating burned calories how dope would y’all be.’ OUCH
8. ROB KARDASHIAN FELL IN LOVE, HAD A BABY AND GOT ENGAGED
It was all very dramatic when Rob Kardashian announced his new girlfriend was non other than step-sister Kylie’s boyfriend Tyga’s ex-girlfriend Blac Chyna. Confusing right? It did take us a little while to get over this news, but if the Kardashian’s can then so can we. Three months later Rob proposed to her and now they have a beautiful little girl and Blac Chyna is pushing to have her name changed to Angela Renee Kardashian. Who knows what 2017 is going to bring for them!
9. KRIS HAD A SCARY CAR CRASH
Kris took a hit earlier this year when a car crashed into her $250,000 Rolls Royce. She collided with a Prius which had just run a red light. The family showed a united front when they didn’t hesitate to be by Kris’s side as she was treated by paramedics at the scene of the crash. Daughter Kylie took to Twitter soon after to reassure the worried fans that Kris was going to be OK. Phew!
10. KIM KARDASHIAN GOES M.I.A AFTER BEING ROBBED AT GUNPOINT
A photo posted by Kim Kardashian West (@kimkardashian) on
However, we think the biggest Kardashian shock this year has to be the robbery that took place in Paris early October. Kim was on the trip to attend the annual Angel Gala in honour of her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr. when she was held at gunpoint in her hotel room and robbed of almost 10 million dollars worth of jewellery. This included Selfish author’s upgraded 20-carat emerald-cut-diamond engagement ring from husband Kanye West! With the investigation still going into the new year, her husband recovering from a breakdown and Kim going M.I.A on social media due to the last couple of months we just can’t help but pray that the new year brings some luck for Kimmy!
We can bet that 2017 is going to bring plenty more of this goss…
But there have been some huge moments in fashion on the red carpet this year and this gallery celebrates the best of the best and why we couldn’t stop staring in awe at their wonderful fashion choices.
Trust us, it’s been pretty hard to narrow some of the most gorgeous ladies in the world’s outfit choices for the red carpet and forgive us, there are some outfit repeaters in there, but you can’t help it if you have impeccable style.
Yes, you read that right. 2016 has been a weird year hasn't it? But it's not over yet and it’s about to get so much weirder. Check out the celebs that have taken some style inspo from a rather unexpected source this year.
It seems our favourite celebrities have taken some style inspiration direct from Albert Square, in the form of big, perspex glasses and we know exactly who ignited this trailblazing trend.
Anyone remember Frank Butcher? The EastEnd(-ers) cockney that spent as much time in the Queen Vic as he did switching from Pat to Peggy and how could we forget that famous ‘naked-with-nothing-but-a-bow-tie’ scene.
Well, apparently even the most famous of famous faces know about the perspex glasses wearing EastEnder. ‘Ave a butchers at the celebs who have been rocking the trend this year…
The model is said to be vetting Kieran’s phone again over the claims…
Two affairs with two of his wife’s best friends was never going to make Kieran Hayler a contender for husband of the year, but we’re told Katie Price’s insecurities are rearing their ugly head once more – causing huge tension between the couple. In September 2014, it was reported Katie, 38, had confronted 29-year-old Kieran’s model ex-girlfriend April Bonas over claims he was cheating with her just days before their Bahamas wedding in January 2013.
Although neither April, Katie or Kieran commented publicly on the story at the time, Now understands that Katie’s close pals are claiming Kieran is back in touch with April once more.
An insider tells us: ‘April knew nothing of Katie’s relationship with Kieran until she saw pictures of their wedding on a beach in Barbados and it seemed Katie had no idea she and Kieran were still in touch. Kieran adamantly denied the story to Katie when it came out, but it struck a real nerve with her.’
Four years on and after warnings from friends, Katie is said to still be suspicious of ex-stripper Kieran’s motives over his former flame, reportedly throwing April’s name in his face during arguments.
‘One of Katie’s inner circle heard that Kieran has been attempting to contact April again,’ the source continues. ‘Of course, Katie confronted him over the rumours, but he flat-out denied it.’
When whispers of a fling between Kieran and April first came to light, a friend said: ‘A lot of people compare her to Katie Price in looks but she’s got some real talent’ – a comment that’s sure to have infuriated businesswoman Katie.
And while friends say Kieran has always vehemently dismissed any involvement with April, it’s not as if Katie’s worries are unjustified.
In May 2014 – just four months after their wedding – the mum of five was shocked to discover Kieran had been sleeping with her then-best-friend Jane Pountney. Breaking the news on Twitter, she wrote: ‘Sorry to say me and kieran are divorcing him and my best friend jane pountney been having a full blown sexual affair for 7 months.’
After a second affair with another pal, Chrissy Thomas, was revealed, Katie eventually decided to give the marriage another go – but has said she can’t forget the ordeal.
The insider adds: ‘Katie still vets Kieran’s phone. She doesn’t trust him as far as she can throw him. She hates feeling like she’ll never know the whole truth, but at the same time it could jeopardise everything for her.’
Katie herself has revealed on more than one occasion that she doesn’t trust her husband, saying on Loose Women last month: ‘I will never forgive. I’ve learnt to deal with it, but you can’t forget.’
Despite taking Kieran back and frequently denying rumours they’re on the rocks, Katie still wants revenge for his infidelities.
She recently said: ‘I will get my own back. I always say to him: “You haven’t had your karma yet – but something will happen, you’ll see.” I want him to go through all that hurt I went through. He says he’s sorry he put me through that, but I think: “Nah, you still haven’t felt it.” So I want him to suffer.’
If Kieran is up to no good, we can’t help but think he deserves to feel the wrath of the Pricey…

Good vs evil
Inside No 9 – The Devil of Christmas, 10pm, BBC Two
This creepy/funny spectacular follows a child-punishing demon. Set in Austria in 1977, it’s Krampusnacht, and there’s a devil on the loose who’s out to freak out naughty kids. Enough to make you be extremely well behaved in 2017, even if you’re an adult.
Christmas isn’t Christmas without animated films for the whole family to enjoy (and possibly have a little boozy snooze during). Meet the Emperor Penguins who want to find soulmates for life… only one can’t sing to attract a mate. But he can do a very special dance. Ridiculously cute, this.
