Since Lisa Riley got her big break into showbiz back in 1995, she’s been proudly waving the flag for plus-sized girls.

Now, the star has been popping up on Loose Women and showing off her much slimmer figure – where she’s lost an impressive ELEVEN stone in just over a year!

Initially, the actress stopped by Loose Women in April 2016 and she spoke openly about her new slimline look:

‘I have smaller portions now,’ she said, explaining her new lifestyle. ‘I don’t believe in fad diets, even though I have tried them before. I have no food after 6.30pm…I only eat a carb if I need one and absolutely no bread or booze.’

Going down from a size 30 to a size 12, the actress and TV personality revealed to Bella magazine that the health issues faced by her immediate family had been a motivation to eat healthier, and exercise more: she lost her mum, Cath, to cancer, while her father was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2015 after a cancer scare of his own.

‘Losing my mum then seeing my dad wired up and nearly losing him and becoming an orphan was a shock to my system. I don’t want to be a statistic,’ she said in January 2016.

‘I just want my health to carry on, to live my life to the fullest.’

Lisa, 40, attributes her weight loss to an overall lifestyle change – not a diet – which includes giving up alcohol:

I’ve not drunk alcohol for a long time now. I pat myself on the back every day that not one drop of alcohol has passed my lips and I don’t think it ever will again.’

On the 19th August 2016, Lise celebrated one year of not having one single drop of alcohol.

‘I was a party animal and loved my red wine, but I did go to a slim camp and now, when I see a bottle of wine, I see fat Lisa – I look at it and see four chocolate bars.

‘I don’t miss booze, I don’t need dutch courage it’s other people always saying ‘go on, have another drink,’ no one would do this with Kettle Crisps.’

But even though it’s her body, Lisa sometimes looks in the mirror and is shocked. ‘I’m still a bit in denial – I’ve lost over half my body weight,’ she said.

In October 2015, signs of her weight loss were visible when she released her plus-size fashion range ‘Just Be You’. However, she first saw signs of weight-loss in 2012, when she wowed the nation during her stint on Strictly Come Dancing.

‘Nothing can really prepare you for you the sheer overwhelming experience of what it means to become a mother'

She may have a live-in nanny at her Kensington Palace home but motherhood hasn’t been a walk in the royal park for Kate Middleton, she has revealed.

The Duchess of Cambridge gave a speech on the subject of motherhood today (Thursday 23rd) as she attended the launch of a film series about maternal mental health titled Out of the Blue.

Released just days ahead of Mother’s Day (this Sunday, in case you’d forgotten), the films aim to raise awareness of the mental health challenges faced by mums and get people talking about the wellbeing of mums, dads and kids.

This collection of films highlights how vital it is to be open about our mental health, especially in the early years of parenthood,’ HRH told the audience at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

Kate, who has two children, Prince George, 3, and 1-year-old Princess Charlotte with hubby Prince William, went on to celebrate the joys of becoming a mother.

But she also addressed the difficulties, saying: ‘Personally, becoming a mother has been such a rewarding and wonderful experience. However, at times it has also been a huge challenge – even for me who has support at home that most mothers do not.

‘Nothing can really prepare you for you the sheer overwhelming experience of what it means to become a mother. It is full of complex emotions of joy, exhaustion, love, and worry, all mixed together.’

Kate added: ‘Your fundamental identity changes overnight. You go from thinking of yourself as primarily an individual, to suddenly being a mother, first and foremost.’

She also chatted to other mums about their experience of maternal mental health issues including post-partum psychosis.

The Duchess began her speech by paying tribute to the victim’s of Wednesday’s terror attack in London, saying: ‘I know you would all want to join me in sending our thoughts and prayers to all those sadly affected by yesterday’s terrible attack in Westminster.

‘We will be thinking of all the families, as we discuss the important issues we’re here to talk about.’

Other celebs to pay tribute in the wake of the attacks include Niall Horan, Vicky Pattinson and Holly Willoughby – whilst Katie Price was criticised for her tweet.

Lisa just keeps transforming - she's looking incredible!

Lisa Riley has changed more in the last year and a half than possibly any other well-loved celebrity.

After losing over TEN stone, the former Emmerdale actress has kept herself very busy with stints as a panellist on Loose Women, and speaking out about her incredible transformation.

However, she took a break from Loose Women in February to undergo surgery to remove excess skin from her stomach area – and now, she’s returned to show the results…

Read: All the Latest Celebrity News 

Lisa, 40, worked hard with diet and exercise to lose an impressive amount of weight – however, as is often the case with people who drop a significant amount of pounds, she was left with excess skin. Last month, she decided to do something about it, and had over a stone’s worth removed!

On Thursday (23rd March), she returned to the show to display the results:

Lisa wows in a red jumpsuit – we love! (Photo: ITV)

Though she kept her bare stomach concealed, her figure outline was very visible in a red jumpsuit. ‘I keep stroking myself, I can’t believe it!’ she admitted after emerging from a sparkling door. Though often cheerful, Lisa’s extra level happiness was easy to see as she could barely stop grinning!

‘It’s incredible, it really is! I’m 12 and a bit stone now, I’m still getting used to it all myself. Wearing these clothes, I’d never wear anything like this.’

Lisa explained why she went through with the procedure in the first place. Before her hiatus from the daytime panel show, she’d broken down in tears on air over her fears that she wouldn’t wake up from the anaesthetic – so this clearly wasn’t a decision taken lightly.

However, the discomfort of having sagging skin had gotten to be too much to bear; according to her, the surgery was a necessity.

‘I did not, in my head, have cosmetic surgery,’ she reasoned.

‘I couldn’t go on, as I was. Everything was moving, jigging around, it would be so painful. Really uncomfortable and painful.

‘I’d be in my yoga class but I couldn’t do certain poses because I had this big mound in the way, now it’s as flat as a pancake.’

Excellent stuff – not only is she more physically comfortable, her slimline figure is an added bonus too!

This is a whole new look for Zac...

A new trailer for the revamped Baywatch film has been released – and it’s everything we could have imagined.

The totally over the top and outrageous teaser shows Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Priyanka Chopra and many other bikini-clad (and very orange) people take over the 90’s series in a bid to bring you action, humour and some very naughty language.

Released on Wednesday (22nd March), the clip shows The Rock and Zac’s ‘undercover’ mission to take down some bad guys that are threatening their beach – complete with explosions, slow-mo running and six packs (thanks Zac).

And while we’re used to seeing the hunky actor go shirtless in practically every film he’s in, Zac’s trying a whole new look for this role by dressing up as a woman.

Yup, that’s right. The 17 Again star dons yellow high-heels, a monochrome dress and a lot of make up to stop super villain Victoria Leeds (Priyanka) and just LOOK how convincing he is!

What do you reckon of Zac’s new look? [Paramount Pictures]

And it seems like Zac’s character, Matt Brody is also pretty impressed with the disguise as he tells his crime-fighting partner, Mitch Buchanan: ‘I look legit hot.’

Definitely looking hot, Zac [Paramount Pictures]

HA! But it turns out the heartthrob didn’t take to the glamorous outfit too well as Zac later tweeted: ‘Mad respect to all the ladies who can handle heels,’ wrote the former Disney heartthrob, ‘1 of my hardest stunts EVER on #Baywatch.’

Obviously fans flocked in their thousands to LOL at the hilarious trailer, with one follower replying: ‘when Zac can pull off heels better than you can,’ and another writing: ‘Zac in heels I’m dead.’

While another impressed follower added: ‘Pulling off those heels quite well! Better than I can! Can’t wait to go and see this!’

Agreed!

But before you start to worry that you’re not going to get your fix of shirtless Zac, rest assured he spends the entire rest of the film with very minimal clothes on – and you NEED to see his biceps in the fridge-pulling scene.

It’s pretty much agreed by all that all the other halves of the Little Mix gals are some lucky fellas – and the most recent man to join this privileged roster is TOWIE star Chris Clark.

Having recently confirmed his relationship with Jesy Nelson, the pair have been very open with their big affections for each other, and it’s clear that he knows he’s hit the jackpot with a girl like Jesy!

However, it turns out that Jesy’s pretty darn lucky herself, as Chris Clark bared all on national TV – and viewers are VERY impressed with one area of his naked bod in particular…

Wednesday’s (22nd March) edition of the ITVBe reality show saw Chris, 22, keep newcomer Myles Barnett company in the changing room after a fun game of football.

After Myles opened up about his relationship with Courtney Green, the pair then decided to get on with their days and change – and dropped their towels!

And if you thought that was saucy, the next shot showed his BARE bum… and people, there’s a clench involved:

Good grief!

The viewers of TOWIE were equally impressed and took to Twitter to compliment the boys on their rears.

‘Myles and Chris… no heating needed in my flat right now’, wrote one fan with a series of blushing faces and flame emojis. For another fan, the shock of their nudity had her choking on her snack:

‘Just choked on my Jaffa cake at Chris Clark dropping his towel #TOWIE’…

And Chris was none the wiser to all the commotion:

‘Haven’t watched the show, I will when I get home. Was my bum out?’  

Yes Chris. Yes, it was. And the people of the nation salute you.

It comes after an emotional time for Steph, what with Caben having had his first injections earlier this week which proved pretty tough for the actress to deal with.

Steph has also faced difficulties in her relationship with Caben’s dad Jeremy McConnell during the past few weeks.

Despite seemingly managing to bury the hatchet last month for the sake of their son, things took a turn for the worse on 10 March when it was revealed that Jez, 27, had been arrested on allegations of assault.

He was released but is continuing to cooperate with police in their investigations, though has denied any wrongdoing.

The announcement of the ‘Strictly Come Dancing: The Spectacular’ earlier this month was met with A LOT of excitement.

Who wouldn’t want to catch a ninety-minute long theatre show starring popular judges Bruno Tonioli, Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey Bussell, as well as dance lessons from the stars AND a fashion show?

Craig hit the nail on the head when he described it as ‘a dream come true’ for fans of the programme.

Read: All the Latest Celebrity News 

Well, now it’s been revealed that the show has been cancelled by the BBC as it turns out, not enough people have been buying the tickets… what?!

In an official statement, the Beeb said: ‘It is with regret that Strictly Come Dancing : The Spectacular has been cancelled.

‘Demand for this event has not been as strong as we had hoped so we’ve taken the difficult decision to cancel it.

‘All customers will receive a full refund for the cost of their tickets.’

Although not all fans were shocked by the news bosses had to pull the plug on the family day out, which was due to take place between 22-25 June this year, as many were were previously left outraged by the ticket prices.

After paying £70 for a ticket or £192.50 for two adults and two children – fans could have found themselves set back a lot more than that as photos with the judges were priced at £26.80 each and even getting a snap at the judges table costed around £12.

Crikey!

And disappointed fans have blamed steep prices for the show’s failure as one irritated follower wrote on Twitter: ‘I guess they worked out average person doesn’t want to spend £300 on it,’ while another replied: ‘The only thing ‘spectacular’ was the price…and not in a good way.’

A third added: ‘I think there was demand for it. In fact, there was lots. However the tickets were extortionately expensive, so I couldn’t go.’

While a fourth ranted: ‘Disappointing for the fans and those who have already bought tickets to this event. I am, however, not surprised. I was thrilled to see this event advertised, but not so thrilled with the extortionate ticket price which put me off going.’

Eeek.

Although the Beeb did defend their pricing earlier in the month and a spokesperson told Now: Charging for these opportunities is standard practice to manage demand and our prices are lower than what is usually charged for a photograph with on-screen talent. Many experiences are included as part of the standard ticket price, including the chance to dance with the Strictly pro dancers for the first time ever.’

Aw. What a shame! Guess we’ll just have to wait until the Autumn to catch out fave dancing stars…

The singer seems to be sending out a serious message with his makeover

Jahmene Douglas at Radio 1 studios, London 3 October 2012

Remember Jahmene Douglas from The X Factor? Well you probably won’t recognise him any more as he’s unveiled a VERY dramatic transformation.

The 26-year-old singer has shocked his fans by unveiling a bold makeover this week, having ditched his dark hair for a bleached blond ‘do.

He also appears to be sporting lightened eyebrows and has pale contact lenses in.

However, it looks like there’s a serious motive behind Jahmene’s surprise revamp as he’s used the image to question whether there is racism in the music industry.

‘Question: Is it right to have an exclusive ‘blue-eyed soul’ genre? Especially when it dominates the Top 40 and excludes people like me?’ the TV star captioned a photo of his new image.

‘Shouldn’t it be all inclusive? Shouldn’t soul be soul?’

He went on to contemplate this further by sharing another photo with the caption: ‘If only my brown eyes were blue… Would the radio support me like they’re supposed to?’

Jahmene has gone on to hint that he’ll be revealing all about what he’s referring to very soon.

‘”If Only My Brown Eyes Were Blue…” The Article Behind The Statement Coming Soon: An Insight into the U.K. Soul Scene!’ the singer posted with a close-up snap of his eyes.

Whatever the motive behind his new look, Jahmene has certainly left his fans shocked by the transformation.

‘I didn’t recognize you, when I first saw this pic. Love you to bits,’ one admirer commented, whilst another said: ‘Awwww jahméne you’re so beautiful the way you are, don’t be putting yourself down. I’d still support you if you were to change your appearance’

It comes just weeks after Jahmene – who reached the final of The X Factor in 2012 – revealed that he has been suffering from depression and had even felt suicidal at times.

The star posted a highly emotional message about his struggles on Twitter, prompting fellow X Factor star James Arthur to reach out to him.

‘Brother I’m here for you. Answer your phone. I know what you’re going through. Pick up,’ James posted.

The pair have since reunited along with their former mentor Nicole Scherzinger, with Jahmene posting some cute pictures from the get-together.

‘I saw @jamesarthurinsta23 perform the other day with my sister @nicolescherzy and he made us so proud!’ the star told his fans on social media.

‘His energy and passion on stage is incredible! Thanks for the much needed uplift you two.’

Awww, we love a good reunion!

EastEnders fans divided as Danny Dyer’s exit scene FINALLY revealed

Many fans of the show have criticised the scenes for being 'rushed'

OKAY, so we’ve known for quite some time that Queen Vic landlord, Mick Carter is leaving Albert Square after it was announced that Danny Dyer would be taking a break from EastEnders to get some much-needed rest.

But on Thursday evening (23rd March) fans finally got to see how a struggling Mick would exit the show – and of course it had to be as dramatic as ever.

His departure came after viewers have watched Mick fail to bring in enough money to the pub over the last few weeks and if that wasn’t bad enough, his son Lee just left the square to set up a new life in Dover.

Poor, Mick!

But things came to a head when it was revealed his daughter Nancy had been hit by a car in Bulgaria which left him desperate to go and see his family.

Read: All the Latest Celebrity News

The dramatic scene, which lasted less than a minute, saw Whitney hurriedly looking for a flight to Sofia which then forced cash-strapped Mick to dip into baby Oli’s savings to pay for it.

And off he went!

Obviously Danny’s sudden departure caused a big social media stir with loads of people devastated that Mick was leaving, while some criticised the scenes for being ‘rushed’.

One fan wrote: ‘Still laughing at the rushed tacked on for Danny Dyer. You can see it wasn’t even rehearsed!’ 

While another added: ‘What was that random scene on EastEnders tonight with Danny Dyer! I know he is having a break but really how random!’

And they weren’t the only ones to have their say…

Danny, 39, flew out to South Africa a few weeks ago to reportedly ‘sort his life out’ after footage was released allegedly showing the star being urged to calm down by wife, Joanne Mas at the NTAs on 25th January.

However the Beeb have furiously defended the star and a spokesperson previously claimed Danny has always been ‘a consummate professional.’

And now it looks like Danny could return to filming as early as Monday after The Sun claimed he’s already collected scripts for his character this week.

A source told the publication: ‘Everyone is looking forward to having a refreshed Danny back on the show.

‘He’s a big character on and off the set and his absence was really noticeable.’

Agreed! Can’t wait to have you back, Danny.

Jacqueline Jossa's man has come under fire on Instagram

Dan Osborne has issued an angry response after his latest Instagram photo sparked criticism of his parenting skills.

The former TOWIE star came under fire on Thursday when his followers spotted that he’d given two-year-old daughter Ella her juice in what looks like a baby’s bottle as they enjoyed breakfast together.

Meanwhile another said: ‘There’s noooo way I’d let my 3 year old drink juice from a bottle! Your teeth are for life they need looking after!’

After a further remark appeared saying ‘Sorry but when you do give a 3 year old a babies bottle you are gunna get comments’, Dan had clearly had enough and decided to answer back.

‘nothing wrong with the bottle..,’ the 25-year-old wrote. ‘and she 2, so to all of you commenting about a bottle, you very sad people should concentrate on your own awful lives’

Dan’s feisty response led to an outpouring of support as fans backed his choices as a parent.

‘For god sake… All you parents commenting on a bottle. Get a grip, what’s the bloody problem,’ one admirer posted, whilst another said: ‘Well said dan…. it’s your child and she’s happy and healthy , that’s all that matters , ppl have too much too say !’

Dan – who welcomed Ella with fiancée Jacqueline Jossa in February 2015 – clearly dotes on his kids so we doubt he’ll lose sleep over the row.

The reality star is also father to son Teddy, 3, from a previous relationship with Megan Tomlin and earlier this week shared an ADORABLE snap of Ella and Teddy spending time together.

‘Words can not describe how it makes me feel seeing my babies together,’ Dan captioned the photo of the siblings cuddling up whilst watching an iPad.

‘Outrageous!’ Denise Van Outen slams TOWIE’s Chloe Lewis for dropping out of charity bike ride

Chloe has had to defend herself after reports claim she pulled out a day before the cycle

TOWIE star, Chloe Lewis has started a HUGE Twitter feud after it was claimed she dropped out of a charity bike ride.

The reality star was due to take part in the 187 mile cycle in memory of fitness writer Nicki Waterman, but reportedly pulled out a day before the rest of the celebs set off.

Despite putting the sudden drop-out down to ‘visa issues’, Chloe has now been slammed by Denise Van Outen, who criticised the 26-year-old for not joining her and other stars such as Michelle Heaton and Kate Thornton on their trek in Kerala.

Read: All the Latest Celebrity News

In reply to a tweet which stated Chloe ‘should be embarrassed for letting so many people down and costing a charity thousands’, Denise – who actually does the voice-over for TOWIE – agreed, adding: ‘No apology to our team and no message of support.’

Ouch!

The drama started when it was claimed that Chloe had been avoiding calls about the cycle ever since she signed up, as a source told The Sun: ‘Chloe completely blanked all calls and texts about the ride.

More: The TOWIE stars are heading to Amsterdam for ‘catfights, comedy and plenty of hook-ups’ and YOU can join them!

‘She was due to take part but did no training and went off to Australia when she was meant to be getting ready for the ride.

‘Her actions have cost the charity thousands of pounds in planned sponsorship—it’s gutting.’

Thank you @hairrehablondon for my hair! Love it! 💁🏻

A post shared by C H L O E | L E W I S (@chloelewis91) on

Chloe has since defended herself and blasted the rumours as ‘made up’, telling her 301k followers: ‘Outrageous on your behalf! You should get your facts straight before making up stories. Absolutely shocking!’

The popular Essex lady was then flooded with questions asking her what the real reason behind her sudden decision was, and one fan wrote: ‘So what’s the real reason then? Everyone wants to know? Silence is the worst thing you can do,’ and another asked: ‘What is the truth then?’

Hmm…

Despite all the feuding it looks like the charity ride was a huge success and Denise and the rest of the team managed to raise a load of money for Brain Tumour Research.

Denise recently appeared on Lorraine to talk about the experience and said: ‘For some of us, it took us out of our comfort zone.

‘I’m not a really brilliant cyclist – I can cycle distance but I am terrible going up hill. I cursed the whole way up but at one point on the way, I could here her voice saying ‘you can do it’.’

HUBBA, HUBBA

Lovely Tom reading the Bedtime Story on CBeebies for Mother's Day

Mums everywhere (and, let’s face it, a lot of non-mums too) have been gifted an early Mother’s Day treat with a first look at Tom Hardy‘s upcoming appearance on CBeebies’ Bedtime Story.

The rugged star is set to read his third story on the channel’s nightly 6.50pm slot this Sunday (26 March), no doubt turning fans everywhere into another big ball of Hardy-smitten goo in the process.

And to whip them into a frenzy ahead of Sunday, the kind folks at CBeebies HQ shared a trailer previewing Tom’s appearance this morning…

It shows the sign-off section of his story, which this time round is There’s a Bear on my Chair – a tale about a little mouse who tries to get a bear to move off his chair but eventually learns to share. Oh, the combination of manliness and morals is just TOO MUCH.

In the trailer, Taboo star Tom is seen saying: ‘I think there’s enough room for our mouse and bear to sit together here. Because it’s good for a mouse and a bear to share.’

He then utters the line we could listen to all day: ‘I’ll see you soon for another Bedtime Story. Until then, night night.’

Hunky Tom has his first appearance on Bedtime Story on New Year’s Eve, reading You Must Bring a Hat – and proving an instant hit.

He was then invited back for a special Valentine’s Day instalment, reading The Cloudspotter. Following his 14th February date, viewers took to Twitter to share their appreciation.

One wrote: ‘Tom Hardy saying goodnight. recorded for personal use lol #CBeebiesBedtimeReaders #cbeebies

Another posted: ‘Love it. BBC might just have redeemed themselves and made the TV license fee worth it!’

Happy early Mother’s Day, one and all!

It’s safe to say they’ve both got a type…

The Only Way Is Essex fans were subjected to one of the most bitter break-ups ever when Chloe Lewis and Jake Hall called it a day in April last year.

Chloe, 26, ended things following rumours Jake had cheated with their co-star Megan McKenna – and it looks like they’ve both moved on now.

But fans have spotted something quite strange about their new partners: it’s like they’re dating clones of each other!

Smitten Chloe is dating broker Danny Flasher while Jake quickly sparked a romance with Real Housewives of Cheshire star Misse Beqiri. There’s no denying Misse is a dead ringer for Chloe and fans are convinced Danny looks just like Jake.

One shared a picture of the two couples on Twitter and added: ‘Chloe Lewis and Jake Hall split and then get new partners who’s the absolute spit of their ex???? Ermmm how insane/ironic/mad is that?’

And it seems a lot of people agree as the post has been retweeted almost 3,000 times!

‘Did they Google lookalikes in the area?’ A bemused fan asked. ‘Because that’s not normal!’ Another said: ‘Omg that’s scary how much Jake’s [girlfriend] looks like Chloe!’

Discussing Jake and his new girlfriend in October, Chloe told The Sun: ‘One of us was going to move on first… I thought it’d be me, I don’t know why. I hope he’s happy and I really do hope they last.’

Chloe couldn’t resist a thinly veiled dig, adding: ‘Mainly just so he’ll stay away from me!’

Lobs are back in fashion (that’s long bob btw), everyone from KIM KARDASHIAN to JENNIFER LAWRENCE has cut their hair into a cute bob over the last year and it’s such a fab style suiting almost every face shape…

But what if you’ve spent the last year trying to grow your hair out? And you’re not ready to go for the chop? Well you can still get an a-list worthy lob, just check out Pixie Lott.

Looks like a cool new bob right? Wrong! Pixie fools us all by faking her new haircut and it looks fabulous, but how did she do it? It’s so easy to recreate this long bob at home, here’s how to do it yourself:

  1. Pull your hair back into a low ponytail and secure with a band, like this…

2.Pull a few strands out from around your face, these will hang loose and frame your face making the bob look more real!

3.Pull the ponytail back on itself so it curls under to create a faux bob. Use Kirby clips to pin the end of the ponytail in place, just like Pixie’s!

It’s really easy and no chopping required, try it at home for yourself!

Marnie Simpson hits out at claims she’s been getting ‘touchy-feely’ with TOWIE’s Dan Edgar

The Geordie Shore star has been linked to ANOTHER TOWIE boy after her split from Lewis Bloor

Marnie Simpson has angrily spoken out after reports emerged suggesting she’d been getting flirty with TOWIE star Dan Edgar.

It had been claimed that the Geordie Shore lass – who broke up with former The Only Way Is Essex cast member Lewis Bloor just last month – and Dan had been seen looking pretty close a party in London on Wednesday night

Marnie Simpson is still LIVING with Lewis Bloor after vowing not to speak again

An onlooker at the Sixty6 magazine launch at Paper Soho alleged to Daily Star Online: ‘Marnie and Dan seemed to be together for a long time later on in the night.

‘They looked very touchy-feely at one point, and kept disappearing off together.’

The insider also claims that Marns, 25, spent time with ANOTHER ex-TOWIE boy during the evening as she was apparently hanging out with Tom Pearce too.

‘The three of them were together for a while – there seemed to be a bit of competition for her,’ the source says.

Marnie is NOT happy about these reports though and has taken to Twitter to deny that there’s anything going on between her and 26-year-old Dan.

‘Stop talking total bulls*** me and Dan are pals nothing more…,’ the reality star posted.

So that’s that then. It comes just weeks after Marnie went through some serious relationship drama when she broke up with Lewis after discovering that he’d cheated on her twice.

Awkwardly though the former couple – who fell for each other on Celebrity Big Brother last summer – are still living under the same roof.

‘It’s just weird that I’m in Essex and bumping into people he knows…,’ Marnie wrote in her Star magazine column this week. ‘We’re not back together but we share a flat and we are speaking.

‘I no longer want to punch him in the face every time I see him which is progress.’

Um, okay. Dan has also faced a wee bit of love life controversy of late, with new TOWIE girl Amber Turner admitting that she slept with him BEFORE she’d broken up with long-term boyfriend Jamie Reed.

Dramas all round, basically.

Sam Faiers' baby Paul is going through a big life stage!

It’s an exciting time for Samantha Faiers and her partner Paul Knightley as they’ve revealed that their adorable baby Paul is attempting to talk. Too cute! Former TOWIE star Sam took to Instagram story on Thursday morning and shared a video of Paul making an array of baby noises. Not just any old noises though. It actually sounds as though Paul is trying to talk!

On top of the video Sam wrote: ‘Trying to talk 😍 😍 😍’.

We just wonder what baby Paul is trying to say! Maybe he’s hungry and wants some food? Maybe he’s tired? Or perhaps he just wants to binge watch every series of TOWIE.

OK, probs not the last one but ya never know!

Aww! Sam Faiers reveals HUGE milestone for baby Paul with adorable photo

Sam also shared a seriously cute pic of baby Paul sleeping on Insta story, describing him as a ‘sleepy little mucky pup’!

Since turning one in December, Paul has grown up a lot! In fact, earlier this year he started walking. Alongside a photo of a smartly dressed baby Paul, Sam wrote: ‘My little darling has been walking a couple of weeks now 🐾 🙊 bring on the fun & games.

Yup, we reckon things must be pretty hectic for Sam right now!

Baby Paul isn’t just walking and (kind of) talking, he’s also busy in the kitchen. He isn’t exactly whipping up Mary Berry approved Victoria Sponges just yet but plastic food is jsut as good right?

Time to say goodbye? Sam Faiers takes a BIG step in her plans to move to LA

Sam took to Instagram on Friday morning and uploaded a photo of a personalised children’s kitchen unit and it’s even got a sign that says ‘Paul’s Kitchen’! Mini pots and pans, cutlery and plastic vegetables and even a mini Henry hoover!

Fans have commented on the cute pic praising the choice of toy for baby Paul

One Instagram user wrote: ‘I love that this is for a boy! Break those stereotypes! So cute! 😍😍👍👍,’ and another added: ‘when a 1 year old kitchen is nicer than your own 🤔🙈.’

Naww, we’re excited to see what baby Paul creates!
