Jeremy McConnell takes a selfie on holiday, 9 January 2017
Stephanie Davis is due to welcome her baby boy any day now and ex Jeremy McConnell has sparked speculation that he’s referenced the birth in a cryptic Snapchat post.
The Irish model has jetted off to Thailand for a boys’ holiday and posted a selfie with a pal this week with the caption: ‘Waiting for u son’
This comes as Steph, 23, continues to keep quiet on social media, leading many fans to wonder if she might have already given birth to her first child.
Jez, 26, has always denied that the baby is his despite Steph being adamant that he’s the father, so it would certainly come as a surprise if he’s now awaiting the birth.
A source close to Steph thinks he’s just trying to make a dig at her though, having told The Sun: ‘This is just another example of Jeremy trying to rile Stephanie.
‘Even when she is hours away from giving birth, he can’t just do the right thing and show her even an ounce of support or respect.
‘Perhaps he genuinely doesn’t believe he’s the father of her child – or perhaps he’s just in denial.’
Meanwhile a rep for Jeremy has denied that the Snapchat post was aimed at Steph in any way and says it was instead referring to one of Jeremy’s friends.
‘Jeremy is currently in Thailand enjoying a short holiday with friends, which has been booked for some time,’ the spokesperson explains.
‘The Snapchat in question was a direct message to a friend, which is referring to one of his “boys” – as in friends – joining him later.
‘He has an open return ticket should he need to return to the UK before the end of his trip.’
So does this mean that Jeremy COULD come back for the birth of Steph’s baby? It seems unlikely given the bad blood between them over the past few months.
The pair split last May, shortly before Steph announced she was pregnant. Jez publicly insisted that he wasn’t the dad as he claimed that Steph had been seeing other people.
They’ve since traded blows through the press, though Jez looked to have had a change of heart recently when he deleted unflattering posts about her on his Instagram page.
it sounds like mum-to-be Steph isn’t concerned about what her ex does though and is solely focused on her impending motherhood.
‘Stephanie is not bothered in the slightest,’ a source tells the Mirror. ‘She has all her friends and family around her so she’s very content as she is waiting for the big day to come.’
The investigation has thrown up a surprise new twist
Kim Kardashian at Farfetch and Buro Fashion Forward Initiative cocktail party, Spring Summer 2017, Paris Fashion Week 30 September 2016
Fresh details have emerged about one of the 17 people arrested over the Kim Kardashian robbery and it makes for pretty shocking stuff.
It’s been revealed that the CHAUFFEUR who drove the reality star around Paris before the heist in October is one of those being questioned by French police.
According to MailOnline the 27-year-old driver worked for an upmarket firm frequently used by the Kardashian family during trips to the city.
He would apparently have known all of Kim’s movements, supporting theories that the incident could have been an ‘inside job’.
A police source tells Reuters that authorities are looking to find out whether the chauffeur could have passed on information to the gang who carried out the robbery.
Several arrests were made after raids in the French capital on Monday morning, with a police source saying: ‘Coordinated raids took place at 6am today. The suspects were arrested at addresses in greater Paris and in the Gard department.
‘The oldest suspect is 72, while others are in their 50s and 60s. All are well known to the police.’
It all happened after DNA found on the material used to gag Kim, 36, during the ordeal was linked to the criminals, who made off with over £8million of jewellery. A gemstone found near the apartment where it happened has also helped with this.
The mum-of-two was tied up and threatened at gunpoint during the robbery, leaving her very shaken up. She even came off social media for several weeks and has only recently returned.
Jean Veil, Kim’s French lawyer, has said that she’s happy with how the investigation is going three months on from the frightening incident.
‘These arrests are a nice surprise because on the one hand, it will perhaps make it possible to find the jewellery,’ Mr Veil explains.
‘On the other hand, it puts an end to the outrageous speculation by some, who thought it was intelligent to pretend that this robbery was staged, or a publicity stunt organised by Ms Kardashian.’
The lawyer also says that Kim still shows ‘some form of anxiety’ since the attack.
‘The money she lost during this robbery is not the only issue,’ he admits. ‘Even though my client was not injured, this assault was very brutal and traumatic. Imagine yourself alone, at night, in front of armed people.’
Police can hold the suspects for up to 96 hours before charging or releasing them.

With the drinking games underway, Audrey knocks back shot after shot to whoops of encouragement from the girls.

'Coronation Street' TV Series - Jan 2017
Soaps don’t often shy away from tough subject matter, as they try to evoke strong emotion and empathy from their millions of viewers.
And Coronation Street is one programme in particular that has received praise for the way it has handled sensitive issues in their storylines in its many years on screen.
However, the soap has run into trouble in a recent episode, for the choice in background song as character Michelle Connor gets rushed to hospital and suffers a stillbirth.
On Monday’s (9th January) edition of the long-running show, Michelle – played by Kym Marsh – was struck with stomach pain while at Leanne Tilsley’s baby shower. Though the scenes won’t be broadcasted until Wednesday evening, Corrie fans are already aware that Michelle and partner Steve MacDonald will suffer a stillbirth.
However, the ominous moment had a background soundtrack noticed by some perceptive viewers – the partygoers were dancing along to Bay City Rollers’ 1975 single Bye Bye Baby.
Definitely not the smartest of song choices! And soon after broadcast, fans took to Twitter to voice their disappointment; one viewer wrote: ‘#Corrie playing bye bye baby while Michelle is having a miscarriage? Distasteful.’
This point of view was echoed in plenty of other responses, in which people called the move ‘harsh’ and ‘disgraceful’:
‘Michelle’s losing her baby and ‘Bye Bye Baby’ is the song playing in the pub. Harsh. #Corrie #coronationstreet.’
‘Bye bye baby on in the Rovers whilst Michelle’s having a miscarriage? Disgraceful #corrie.’
However, plenty of viewers also took to the internet to praise Kym Marsh’s acting ability. The storyline is made even more poignant by the fact that Kym lost a baby of her own, Archie, to stillbirth in 2009, and fans congratulated her on her ‘outstanding’ performance.
‘Outstanding performance by [Kym Marsh] on @itvcorrie. Truly heartbreaking portrayal of what so many women go through. Bravo lass’ reads one example.
Coronation Street have yet to comment on the controversial music choice.

Has Scarlett taken her body transformation too far?
Scarlett Moffatt has impressed many with her incredible weight loss but not everyone’s a huge fan, namely one Marnie Simpson.
The Geordie Shore star admits she isn’t convinced that Gogglebox’s Scarlett looks better as she thinks she’s gone TOO FAR with her body transformation.
‘Scarlett Moffatt has lost so much weight,’ says Marnie, 25.
‘I reckon she’d look better wth a little bit more on.’
Scarlett, 26, has shed a whopping 3st 4lb and has dropped from a size 18 to a size 8 in just six months after being told by a doctor that she was clinically obese.
The I’m A Celebrity champ puts her revamp down to working out using her fitness DVD as well as eating healthily and says the transformation has left her ‘smiling all the time’.
A photo posted by S C A R L E T T (@scarlett_moffatt) on
It’s not all been smooth-sailing though – like Marnie some fans have voiced concerns that Scarlett has now become ‘too skinny’.
Despite her view, Marnie is clearly an admirer of Scarlett.
‘She still look amazing, though,’ the Celebrity Big Brother star writes in her Star magazine column. ‘It probably seems more extreme because it’s such a dramatic change from how she was before.
‘But if she’s happy and feels confident in herself, then she should just ignore what anyone else thinks.’
It comes after Marnie credited her ex Lewis Bloor with helping her to shape up herself thanks to his fitness app, signalling there’s no hard feelings there.
The TV star shared a screen grab of his 6 Minute Belly Blast workout on Monday and wrote: ‘Been doing this for a few weeks now It’s the first thing to help me loose weight and continually keep my training up in so long.
‘u don’t need any equipment or trainers, saves all the embarrassment of the gym I literally do it in my front room and hotels when I’m on the go.’
Marnie confessed this week that things between her and Lewis – who fell for each other on CBB last summer – are still up in the air after they decided to break up.
‘We had a lot of personal problems that we couldn’t work out and I’m really confused about the whole situation,’ she says.
‘I still love him and I hope he feels the same, so I’m not ruling out us getting back together.’
But in a new interview, the 30-year-old has admitted that she will never be happy with how she looks and, if offered, she would have every plastic surgery procedure available to her, if she could.
That’s pretty extreme, right!?
‘I’d never say no to anything,’ she said. ‘I’d have everything done if I could, especially on my bum. I’ve had Botox and lip fillers, too. After turning 30 I feel like I need to get rid of my lines!’
Bianca has also had two £6,000 boob jobs – going up from 34A to 34C when she was 18 and then up from 34C to 34DD when she was 21. She also has Botox every six months and has done for the last three years.
Bianca said: ‘I am happy with my boobs now and don’t plan to get them done again. My mum Sheryl wasn’t happy when I had them done a second time but I wanted them bigger and I don’t regret it all. I don’t feel I am too young for Botox. I have been having it for the last three years. I see it as a preventative. I don’t ever want to get wrinkles in the first place.’
Sadly, Bianca has suffered from body dysmorphia her whole life, which leads her to believe that she can always do something to look better.
‘I have body dysmorphia so I am never going to be entirely happy with the way that I look,’ she said. ‘It is in my nature to find fault with some aspect of my appearance.
‘But I am in the best shape of my life and I am as happy as I am ever going to be with my weight and body shape.
‘The camera puts 10lbs on you and I knew that I really needed to get in shape for CBB. I have firmed up all over and feel good and will be much more comfortable in a bikini in the CBB house.’
Before joining the Channel 5 show, Bianca lost a whopping 19lbs in just six weeks, going down from 10st 5lbs to 9st and from a size 12 to a size 8. She also lost three inches from her waist by working out three to four days a week.
She managed to do this by signing up with the experts from Forza Supplements, Britain’s leading weight loss firm.
They devised a work-out schedule which included swapping two meals a day for Forza’s Shake It Slim – a meal replacement drink containing 22 vitamins and minerals. She also got extra energy prior to gym sessions by taking Forza’s Raspberry K2 supplements.
‘I realised that I needed a total body overhaul which is why I was keen to work with the experts from Forza. I worked really hard in the six weeks before CBB.’
Bianca is an ambassador for Britain’s leading weight loss firm Forza Supplements and she lost 19lbs in six weeks in the run-up to Celebrity Big Brother taking Forza Shake It Slim meal replacement drinks and Raspberry K2 supplements available from Forzadiet.com and Boots.
The TOWIE star went through a tough time, in secret
SPORTFX cosmetic and sports launch party, London, UK - 10 Nov 2016
Lauren Goodger has made no secret of her desire to become a mother, setting herself the goal of 2017 to start building her family.
And while she sets her sights on motherhood, possibly with jailbird boyfriend Joey Morrison, she’s come clean about a personal heartbreak suffered when she was with her ex – she suffered a secret miscarriage.
The TOWIE star will open up on the tragic loss in an upcoming appearance on celebrity psychiatrist show, In Therapy. Since filming, 30-year-old Lauren has also spoken out about it to press, revealing that it happened while filming Dancing on Ice in 2013. At the time, she was with ex-boyfriend Jake McLean – but she also made reference to an abortion while with Mark Wright, at age 19.
‘I was pregnant twice. Then with my second boyfriend, I was too scared. I was like, “What am I gonna do?” That went on and on for a bit longer than it should have.’
She continued to new! magazine: ‘I was on a TV show [Dancing On Ice] that was quite intense when that happened. I had to try and perform and I was quite far gone.’
Lauren Goodger and ice dancing partner Michael Zenezini
Sadly, she lost the pregnancy – and Lauren admits that she dealt with it by just carrying on.
‘I’m the type of person that if something happens, I deal with it and move on. That’s how I am. And I feel at that time, I was working – not on purpose – it was just how my life was going.
‘It’s not something I really addressed. I just carried on.’
With it being such an emotional thing to deal with, scenes from In Therapy show Lauren looking tearful as she discusses the experience. Now, she hopes to get the family she’s always dreamed of with incarcerated Joey – but her good friend is skeptical about her decision.
‘She just wants this one and this is the father of her child in her eyes and she’s in a rush to do that now, which I don’t think is a good idea.’
Oh dear…here’s hoping Lauren can strike a balance between the family she wants, and the family that’s right for her.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have made the surprise move of releasing a joint statement about how their divorce will proceed.
The pair’s split – which was announced back in September – has become increasingly bitter in recent months but now they’ve announced that they’ll use a private judge in the case to better protect their six children by keeping it all out of the public eye.
A statement obtained by CNN reads: ‘The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues.
‘The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification.’
The news marks the first time that Brad, 53, and Ange, 41, have spoken out together since their shock break-up and signals a more amicable approach to the case.
In recent months the couple have been locked in a custody dispute concerning their children Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10 and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8.
Angelina is seeking physical custody and Brad has requested joint custody. In the current arrangement he has been granted supervised visits whilst Ange has physical custody.
Last month Brad filed an application for the records relating to the custody case to be sealed to protect the kids’ privacy and ‘to avoid subjecting them to the negative impact of the media coverage and public scrutiny of the case’.
Things then took an ugly turn in the increasingly-bitter split when Ange’s camp alleged that Brad had done this to ‘shield himself, rather than the minor children, from public view’.
In turn further court documents filed by Brad have accused Angelina of having ‘no self-regulating mechanism’ when it comes to preventing sensitive information from becoming public and said she was ‘determined to ignore even agreed upon standards relating to the children’s best interest’.
Let’s hope that this latest development is a positive step for the family amidst all of this drama.
His time at the swanky awards ceremony didn't go as planned

Tom Hiddleston
74th Annual Golden Globe Awards, Inside, Los Angeles, USA - 08 Jan 2017
Tom Hiddleston found himself as the butt of many jokes in the summer of 2016 after a number of cringeworthy picture moments with then girlfriend, Taylor Swift.
Since their breakup, he’s mostly returned to living a relatively quiet life, mostly popping up on social media to share touching updates about his charity work. However, the Thor actor has managed to fall foul of the internet’s favour once more, after a blunder in his recent speech at the Golden Globes.
Tom, 35, was awarded the gong of ‘Best Performance by an Actor in a Limited Series’ for his work on last year’s The Night Manager. When he took to the stage to collect the award, he decided to use his time to further express his humanitarian side, by telling the world of his recent trip to South Sudan, and how doctors ‘binge-watched’ his series in their spare time.
‘And the idea that I could provide – or that we could provide – some relief and entertainment for the people who worked for UNICEF and Médecins Sans Frontières and the World Food Programme, who are fixing the world in the places where it is broken, made me immensely proud,’ Tom gushed at Sunday night’s ceremony.
However, it didn’t go down too well, as some viewers deemed his words smug and self-congratulatory.
‘So #TomHiddleston had the most self-righteous speech I’ve ever seen. #douche #GoldenGlobes’ reads one example of a scathing response, while Scandal actor Joshua Malina teased: ‘Thank you to Tom Hiddleston and all actors who dare to perform in projects that are shown in some of the most dangerous parts of [the] world.’
Yikes. Now, Tom has come forward with a statement explaining his words – and he’s blamed nerves for mangling his message.
‘I just wanted to say… I completely agree that my speech at the Golden Globes last night was inelegantly expressed. In truth, I was very nervous, and my words just came out wrong,’ he wrote on Facebook.
‘Sincerely, my only intention was to salute the incredible bravery and courage of the men and women who work so tirelessly for UNICEF UK, Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and World Food Programme, and the children of South Sudan, who continue to find hope and joy in the most difficult conditions.
‘I apologise that my nerves got the better of me.’
This TV star is NOT happy with the reaction to her latest procedure...
Katie Price has kept us pretty well documented in her quest for the perfect bum and now the Loose Women panellist has finally revealed the results of her non-surgical bum lift.
And we have to say, it looks pretty great…
Taking to Instagram, the 38-year-old first posted a video of her getting her 7th treatment, bringing husband, Kieran Hayler along for the ride.
A video posted by Katie Price (@officialkatieprice) on
And showing what a few pulsations can do, the former glamour model then went on to share a photo of the finished product with her 1.3 million followers.
Along with the bum-snap, Katie wrote: ‘Even when I sit down I can really see my bum looks peachy,’ before giving a shout out to ‘@shanecooper’ for giving her the treatments.
A photo posted by Katie Price (@officialkatieprice) on
But while loads of fans were quick to describe the star’s pert posterior as ‘amazing’ and ‘bum goals’, some followers weren’t so impressed with Katie sharing the pictures online.
One user commented: ‘Why do you need to keep showing this, surely showing the treatment once is enough?’ another wrote: ‘S/o to the REAL booties these days!!’ while a third asked: ‘Why have you got two different colour legs?’ and a fourth added: ‘still fake and vulgar.’
Yikes!
In typical Pricey style, Katie wasn’t about to take the criticism lying down and hit back at the comments, replying: ‘My leg looks a different colour because one has a glycerol gel for the machine and it’s not that I’m posing doing a shot with my bum to show it, it’s because I want to show that non surgical programmes work and I still slated.’
Before cheekily adding: ‘Maybe people are jealous because my bum looks good.’
That settles that, then.
Despite the harsh comments we’re pretty sure Katie isn’t phased, especially now her bum looks like that…
Woo! Since transforming her own figure, it's not wonder Charlotte Crosby has decided to launch an activewear range with In The Style
Since transforming her own body, Charlotte Crosby has gone on to collaborate with online brand In The Style and create 14 collections with this being her 15th! Congratulations Charlotte!
Now, Geordie Shore‘s Charlotte Crosby is about to launch her first ‘Activewear’ range with In The Style. The collection was designed with both fashion and function in mind and features 18 unique designs in a range of colour ways.
The focus on performance was key for the range and Charlotte when she originally came up with the idea. All the pieces have been manufactured by sportswear specialists and the collection consists of functional sportswear with high performance sports bras and panelled leggings.
The pieces have been designed with the ability to mix and match together – from crop tops and leggings that can be layered with the cropped hoodies from the collection and the all-in-one leotard with sports-luxe bomber jackets.
Charlotte‘s collection with In The Style is a colour palette of marble tones, black, white, grey and a hint of lime green for a pop of colour.
‘I’m so excited to finally reveal my activewear range with In The Style. After doing my two fitness DVDs and working hard in the gym it was really important to me that the collection was supportive and functionable and I had a really clear idea of what I wanted for the range. We’ve been working really hard over the past few months to develop the collection and I’m so excited to hear everyone’s feedback and see lots of gym selfies!‘ said Charlotte – and we’re sure there will be alot of girls working hard in the gym that want to show off the new In The Style range.
The Voice coach has some interesting things to say...
Remember when Will.i.am and Cheryl became besties after Chezza popped up in his 2007 track Heartbreaker? Oh the nostalgia…
Well it turns out that, even though they don’t work together anymore, Will is still very fond of Cheryl and has got some cute things to say about her rumoured pregnancy.
The Voice star, 41, says he’s over the moon that Chezza, 33, and boyfriend Liam Payne are seemingly about to become parents, having seen Cheryl previously experience some not-so-happy times in her love life.
‘Cheryl is awesome and I am so happy for her,’ says Will. ‘She is always in and out of bad relationships.’
Yikes, poor Cheryl! Will has a point though – during his friendship with Chezza she went through a divorce from first husband Ashley Cole after he’d been unfaithful to her.
She was then rumoured to have briefly dated Dancing With The Stars pro Derek Hough, followed by a short-lived romance with dancer Tre Holloway.
In more recent times the Girls Aloud star ended up getting divorced for a second time last year when her whirlwind marriage to Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini went awry.
Now though she seems very content with One Direction star Liam, 23, and Will’s excited to see her in such a good place.
‘She is expecting a baby but it could be a beer belly, right?’ he jokes to Closer magazine. ‘But if it’s not beer and it’s the real thing, that’s good for her.
‘I haven’t really met Liam but I am so happy for her, she deserves it.’
Awww. In the meantime Cheryl and Liam are maintaining their silence about the baby talk and neither of them have posted anything on social media since sharing Christmas and New Year messages.
It’s even led to speculation that the couple might have already secretly become parents, with one fan recently commenting: ‘Is Cheryl just hoping she’ll give birth and nobody will notice?’
Meanwhile others have wondered if they might be engaged. Blimey, what a start to 2017 THAT would be for Chiam!
Does this latest gesture mean what we think it does?

Niall Horan
American Music Awards, Arrivals, Los Angeles, USA - 20 Nov 2016
WEARING PAUL SMITH
The One Direction lads aren’t exactly short of female attention. The guys must have an army of devoted fans lined up to volunteer as their next girlfriend. But whilst Liam and Zayn may be loved up with their ladies, what is going on with Niall’s love life?
Last week, he appeared to flirt with super hot Sports Illustrated model Dajana Radovanovic online by liking her Instagram bikini shot. But could he actually be trying to strike up a romance with a former flame? Eagle-eyed fans spotted that Niall liked an Instagram photo of socialite Raquelle Stevens.
The photo is of Raquelle with a group of girl mates, including showbiz BFF Selena Gomez. Niall also commented on the photo, writing: ‘Miss you guys..Can’t wait to see you all.” The comment might not seem like much but Niall and Raquelle were romantically linked last July.
The pair were spotted cosying up together on a night out in Mali at Nobu restaurant. They were spotted hugging each other and barely left each other’s side after reportedly being set up by mutual pal Selena Gomez. So who is Raquelle? The LA based beauty appears to be a real girl’s girl on her Instagram. She loves coffee dates with her girl mates and girly trips away.
Plus, she’s not afraid to flaunt her incredible bikini body by the pool or on a sunny beach. Who can blame her with abs like that?!
A photo posted by Raquelle Stevens (@raquellestevens) on
So could Niall’s latest comment be a sign he wants to rekindle things? Or could he just be reaching out to a close pal? OR could he actually be aiming his comment at Selena. Let’s not forget Niall set tongues wagging in December when he called her ‘very beautiful.’

Nicola McLean, Jamie O'Hara
'Celebrity Big Brother' TV show, Elstree Studios, Hertfordshire, UK - 08 Jan 2017
The former glamour model probably woke up with a bit of a sore head this morning, after she had a little too much to drink and ended up having an intimate chat with the former Tottenham player – causing quite the stir on social media.
Married mum-of-two, Nicola got through a lot of wine before admitting ‘I’m so drunk’ as Jamie, who was previously married to model Danielle Lloyd, offered to help her into her pj’s.
But things soon got flirty between the pair when she whispered to him: ‘When the light goes off you better come over here and reassure me…’
The New Star then told Nicola: ‘You know I’ve got your back. I think you’re amazing. I love you.’
Ooo.
But when mischievous housemate, Calum Best chanted: ‘Give her a kiss. On the lips, the lips, on the lips. Let me watch. On the lips,’ Jamie quickly declined, adding he had ‘too much respect’ for Nicola’s husband and fellow footie star, Tom Williams.
To which Nicola added: ‘We’ve done it before, we can’t do it again.’
Wait… what?!
Nicola McLean married Tom Williams in 2009. They share two sons, Rocky, born in 2006, and Striker, born in 2010.
As Stacy Francis warned the two of them not to ‘get in trouble’, Jamie shouted to the camera: ‘Tom it’s ok mate, Tom it’s cool,’ and Nicola was finally put to bed by Strictly dancer, James Jordan.
Despite the reassurance from Jamie, a lot of CBB viewers weren’t very happy with the flirty pair and took to Twitter to voice their opinions – many blamed the drink, including Nicola’s official Twitter which tweeted: ‘She went in the house with a 3 drink rule. I thought she meant glasses, not bottles Thank god @The_JamesJordan looked after her.’
LOL.
Even Geordie Shore’s Scotty T had an input on the flirting going on…
But some people didn’t find the exchange so funny, with one viewer blasting the pair: ‘After tonights episode I officially no longer like nicola… & calum telling jamie to kiss her on the lips is disgusting #cbb,’ and another adding: ‘Nah Jamie clearly doesn’t respect Nicola or her husband because friends or not, he’s too touchy feely #cbb.’
Yikes.
Poor Nicola probably isn’t going to be feeling her best right now!
Calum was not too impressed - and now, Coleen feels terrible

Coleen Nolan in the diary room
'Celebrity Big Brother' TV show, Elstree Studios, Hertfordshire, UK - 09 Jan 2017
As a rule, Loose Women panellists don’t get their roles for being particularly shy about expressing their feelings.
Hence, Coleen Nolan has been one of the viewers’ favourite parts of the programme for nearly 17 years – and true to form, she’s brought that essential, expressive quality to her stint in the Celebrity Big Brotherhouse.
Unfortunately, it’s this trait that landed her in an awkward spot of trouble with fellow housemate Calum Best – and she’s feeling very sorry for her words now…
On Saturday night, tensions rose as reformed playboy Calum heard Coleen deem him as a hypothetical interest merely for a ‘one night stand’, compared to Jamie O’Hara – who’s more Coleen’s type for settling down and husband-like duties, as it happens…
Though intended as banter to make Jamie feel better about the female attention going towards Calum, Coleen’s words caused Calum to storm off, upset that he’s still being judged for his colourful past.
And in scenes from Tuesday (10th January) evening’s edition of the Channel 5 seasonal staple, Coleen is seen taking a trip to the Diary Room to check in with Big Brother – and she’s feeling remorseful.
Coleen Nolan breaks down (REX/Shutterstock)
‘I’m probably just analysing this too much, but my main problem is that I’ve upset Calum, and that wasn’t my intention – because seriously he’s the loveliest guy,’ she began with a wobbling lip – and it wasn’t long before tears were on the way.
‘I love Calum. I just feel a bit bad that’s all… I don’t even know what I did it really. I know Calum’s got this playboy reputation, but I never think of him like that.’
From the tears, it’s clear that getting on Calum’s bad side has really touched a nerve with her – especially since son Shane Nolan recently revealed that she rarely cries.
‘It’s never nice seeing a parent cry, especially my mum. She’s like my best friend, it’s heartbreaking,’ Shane told her Loose Women pals on Wednesday (4th January).
‘I’ve seen her cry no more than five times… I think she hates crying in front of her children. She’s never done it in all the break ups, and arguments with [husband] Ray.’
Check out Coleen’s teary display in the video above…

Michelle Keegan
Michelle Keegan at Radio 1, London, Britain - 12 Mar 2013
Why are we so fascinated with celebrities? Is it the money they earn? Their private lives or the fact that they might just be like us? Whatever it is, we can’t stop looking at how much they’ve changed over the years and Michelle Keegan is no exception.
OK, so she’s grown up in the public eye so of course she’s going to have changed over the years but we can’t even recognize her in some of these pics…
Michelle didn’t have time to get her hair and makeup done before appearing on ‘Good Morning Britain’ due to traffic. But she still looked amazing even with dry shampoo streaked through her hair and a dodgy coloured foundation! Although it was quite a different look from the one we’re used to seeing a few months before…
Here at The ITV Gala she was wearing her trademark false lashes, rosy cheeks and her hair was of course big and bouncy, no wonder she’s an ambassador for beauty brand Revlon. She also went through her blonde phase, especially for TV show ‘Tina and Bobby’ where she plays wife of footballer Bobby Moore and surprise surprise looks great too!
Now check out Michelle’s changing look from 2008 to now, which is your fave look?

Charlotte Crosby
The ShowReal dating app launch party, DSTRKT, Rupert Street, London, UK - 02 Nov 2016
Following her humble beginnings in the craziest house in the North East, the 26-year-old has since found herself causing a load of drama on Celebs Go Dating and even went on to win Celebrity Big Brother in 2013.
Impressive.
But despite her reality success, this Geordie lass has revealed that she isn’t done yet and after becoming hooked on this year’s series (like the rest of us), Charlotte has admitted she’d absolutely love to return to CBB.
Chatting to The Sun at the launch of her new Activewear range, Charlotte admitted: ‘I don’t think (the Channel 5 producers) even called me about it!’
And given the star’s HILARIOUS antics in the 12th series of the show, we really can’t understand why.
It was down to Charlotte’s sense of humour and love of getting just a little bit tipsy which led fellow housemate, Mario Falcone to describe her as ‘the heart and soul’ of the house.
And we have to agree…
But Charlotte doesn’t want to go back into the show alone this time and also admitted she wants to bring her reality pals in with her, adding: ‘Watching it now I’m feeling nostalgic and I’m missing it…imagine if me, Scotty T and Stephen Bear were in, it would be hilarious.
‘Stephen won the series last year so it would make sense to have him in there. It’s not really All Stars when none of the past winners are in!’
Charlotte Crosby wants pal, Stephen Bear to go back into the CBB house with her.
And Charlotte isn’t the only one who’s peeved about not returning to the house as previous winner, Scotty T previously said he thinks the producers were ‘too scared’ to have the Geordie pair back because of their *uh-hum* high sex drive.
LOL.
We can’t help but think that this series is missing a bit of Geordie spirit too…
Some have criticised former glamour model Nicola, 35, for leaving her two young children Rocky and Striker to take part in the show – despite them being at home with ex-footballer Tom.
One viewer tweeted: ‘Can’t stand Nicola. Why would you pay her a penny leaving your kids again great mum #cbb.’
And some even slated Nicola for talking about how much she misses her kids, with one adding: ‘Nicola and her yapping. She knew she was going to have to leave her kids she chose to do it. Get over it #cbb.’
But Tom was quick to defend his wife, posting: ‘Missing your kids makes you a bad person. Earning money for your kids makes you a bad person. OK.’
Missing your kids makes you a bad person 🤔.
Earning money for your kids makes you a bad person 🤔
This is Nicola’s first big job in two years, since she took a break from the limelight to work on her marriage to Tom. In 2014 they briefly separated after she accused him of cheating but recently Nicola confirmed they’d managed to move past this.
Nicola’s behaviour with Jamie, 30, may have raised eyebrows but they insisted it was all above board as he and Tom have been mates for years.
Jamie said: ‘She won’t get in trouble with me ever!’ Then, pointing at the cameras, he added: ‘Tom it’s ok mate, Tom it’s cool.’
Ahead of Nicola’s entrance into the house a source told The Sun: ‘She’s had the worst two years of her life but now she’s feeling strong and she is desperate to let her hair down and have some fun in there.’
File photo dated 02/09/07 of Brad Pitt and his wife Angelina Jolie attending the Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy, as Hollywood star Jolie has filed for divorce, TMZ has reported.
Despite the couple announcing their split all the way back in September, we still aren’t over the news of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie‘s divorce.
Did ANYONE see that coming?
The Internet pretty much broke as Oscar-winning actress, Angelina announced she’d filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Brad and Twitter became inundated with speculation and Jennifer Anniston memes.
But as the surprising details surrounding the duo’s 12-year relationship began to unfold, the exact reasons behind the divorce have left us all a little puzzled.
So here it is, from the day the world found out, to spending their first Christmas apart – here’s the complete timeline of what we know about the Brangelina divorce so far…
19th September – Angelina files for divorce
Starting from the very beginning – 41-year-old, Angelina filed for divorce from her hubby, Brad, 53, in the Los Angeles Superior Court citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ after a whopping 12 years together.
20th September – The world finds out
And no-one could handle the news…
Brad and Angelina. How am I supposed to go to work today ?
20th September – The divorce papers are released AND we hear the first statements from the former couple
It was a big day as court documents revealed that Angelina was seeking sole physical custody of the couple’s six children: Maddox, 15, Pax, 12, Zahara, 11, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8, – requesting that Brad only get’s joint legal custody.
Brad was the first to release a statement to People magazine, announcing that he was ‘very saddened’ by the news, adding: ‘All that matters ow is the well-being of our kids.’
Ange then spoke out through her lawyer, Laura Wasser, who announced: ‘This decision was made for the health of the family,’ and asked that the family was ‘given its privacy’.
21st September – Brad wants joint custody
TMZ reported that, despite Ange’s wishes, the Allied actor planned to fight for joint physical custody of their six kids.

22nd September – Brad is investigated by the Police?
The divorce started to get messy as multiple reports claimed that Brad was being investigated for child abuse by the Los Angeles Police Department following an incident involving his son, Maddox aboard the family’s private jet – charges which were later dropped.
A statement issued by the FBI read: ‘The FBI will not pursue further investigation. No charges have been filed in this matter.’
24th September – Ange’s dad speaks out
Despite the couple keeping pretty tight-lipped about their divorce, Ange’s dad, actor Jon Voight spoke out for the first time following the split, telling TMZ: ‘I’m concerned about anyone who’s going through tough times… for the family and for the kids.’
But he refused to say much else…

8th November – Has a legal agreement been reached?
It looked like the bitter feud was finally going to be over when a rep for Ange told People magazine that her and Brad had reached a legal agreement about the custody of their six children after she applied for sole custody with visitation from Brad.
Although it was revealed the kids would be staying in the care of their mother, the statement said ‘the children will continue therapeutic visits with their father’.
10th November–Things get messy
It was claimed that Brad might have some audio recordings of his ex that could affect her bid to have full custody of the couple’s six children, as a source told The Sun: ‘We believe audio tapes exist of Angelina that would be absolutely dynamite if they were to be made public,
‘Nobody wants to play dirty like that – it’s not good for the children.’
Eeeesh.
6th December – Christmas misery for Brad?
A source for People magazine revealed it could be bad news for Brad as he might be spending the festive period alone, revealing: ‘If a child says they don’t want to see Brad on Christmas, the psychiatrist isn’t going to force them, that’s the whole purpose of this agreement.’
Aww.
7th December – Messy custody battle continues…
In documents obtained by numerous US publications, Brad’s legal team said that he filed an application requesting that records related to the custody issues of Brad and Ange’s kids be kept secret to ‘protect their privacy and to avoid subjecting them to the negative impact of the media coverage and public scrutiny of the case.’
Brad’s team also threw shade at Ange suggesting she is ‘continu[ing] to place her own interests above those of the minor children and to disregard their privacy rights when she believes it may benefit her.’
Ouch.
5th January – Ange hits back
Ange’s camp hit back at Brad claiming that he’s just trying to ‘deflect from [his] own role in the media storm which has engulfed the parties’ children.’
Adding: ‘There is little doubt that [Brad] would prefer to keep the entire case private, particularly given the detailed investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Dept. of Children and Family Services into allegation of abuse.’
8th January – Brad’s big moment
The actor took to the Golden Globe’s stage in Beverly Hills to introduce the film Moonlight and was greeted with a HUGE round of applause and rapturous cheers from the audience.

Some guests even gave him a standing ovation, signalling that they’re very much behind Brad in the midst of his divorce proceedings.
10th January – A united front
Documents obtained by CNN revealed what we all wanted to here and confirmed the return of a united Brangelina.
The statement read: ‘The parties and their counsel have signed agreements to preserve the privacy rights of their children and family by keeping all court documents confidential and engaging a private judge to make any necessary legal decisions and to facilitate the expeditious resolution of any remaining issues.
‘The parents are committed to act as a united front to effectuate recovery and reunification.’

The singer's surprise early departure is shrouded in mystery
Ray J on Celebrity Big Brother, 5 January 2017
Ray J has become the first star to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house in a surprise move – and he’s not happy about it.
It was briefly confirmed at the end of Tuesday night’s show that the US star is no longer part of the programme, though very little detail was given as to why.
Now though it’s been reported that Ray J, 35, left the house to receive emergency treatment at hospital due to ‘extreme tooth pain’.
Sources have told TMZ that the singer had been complaining to producers about this for several days and his pain became so unbearable that other housemates allegedly refused to keep on filming until he was given medical help.
It’s been been claimed that it was then agreed that he could attend hospital and he blacked out on the way there.
However, after apparently receiving treatment for an abscessed tooth, a cracked filling in another tooth, and a severe gum issue, Ray wants to return to the house but says he’s not allowed.
‘They won’t let me back in and I’m really hurt by it because I felt like I was doing well,’ he’s said in a FaceTime message to TMZ. ‘I felt like I was connecting with the British fanbase, and it just sucks because I was having such a good time.’
It’s unclear if Ray will still receive his full fee, reported to be one of the highest ever at around £810,000.
The ex-boyfriend of Kim Kardashian has called his exit ‘not fair’ and says: ‘I don’t even care about my tooth – put me back in the house and let me work, this isn’t right.’
Despite the drama and mystery over his departure, many viewers aren’t too concerned over it after Ray was seen sleeping A LOT during his time in the house.
‘Don’t really care about Ray J leaving, he was boring and slept all the time #CBB,’ one unimpressed fan Tweeted. Ouch.
Others though aren’t so happy and think it’s unfair that the star isn’t being allowed to return if his story is true.
‘I’m gutted Ray J is gone. Don’t understand why he wasn’t let back in the house when Edward was let back in when he went hospital #cbb,’ one Twitter user posted, whilst another said: ‘So one of the Jedward boys are allowed to go hospital get treated and come back but Ray J can’t??? Explain why @bbuk #CBB’
CBB have said that more details about Ray J’s departure will be released today (Wednesday).
This has pretty much sent Pez's fans into meltdown
Perrie Edwards
Perrie Edwards has seemingly made her relationship with footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain official by posting a first photo of him on Instagram – and it’s ADORABLE.
The Little Mix star shared a snap of Arsenal player Alex smiling whilst sitting at a dinner table with his and Pez’s dogs sat beside him. Awww!
Perrie’s Pomeranian Hatchi gazes up at the camera alongside Alex’s pet Labrador Retriever and it’s ridiculously sweet.
A photo posted by Perrie Edwards ✌️ (@perrieedwards) on
In fact the pups are so adorbs that we almost forgot the cuteness of Perrie, 23, showing she’s a bit smitten with Alex.
The singer used a hearts for eyes emoji to caption the snap, hinting that she’s very fond of the 23-year-old sports star.
This pretty much sent her fans into meltdown, with many expressing how happy they are that Perrie seems to be loved-up again.
‘Yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhh! Yes Perrie. I’m so happy for you,’ one admirer commented, whilst another wrote: ‘This caption melts my heart. You deserve this @perrieedwards’
It looks like the budding romance has the approval of Pez’s bandmates too, with Jesy Nelson cheekily writing in the comments ‘Oh I see’ with a love heart eyes emoji.
Jesy, after all, is rumoured to be dating Alex’s BFF Bradley Churchill, so lots of double dates await!
Perrie’s photo comes after she and Alex were spotted dining together at a cafe in north London on Monday afternoon after weeks of rumours that they’re an item.
The famous pair gave their biggest hint yet that something was going on last week when they started following each other on Instagram, and now Perrie’s new picture seems to confirm it!
But despite the fact that they look pretty smitten with each other, the blonde star is reportedly keen to keep the relationship as low-key as possible.
‘Perrie wants to keep her lovelife private,’ a source tells The Sun. ‘And also doesn’t want to be regarded as a stereotypical football WAG.
‘It’s early days and they’re still getting to know each other so it’s unlikely her stance will change.
‘Alex fully supports her as he too wants to be known as a footballer, not dating a pop star.’
