Jade Thirlwall reveals sweet secrets behind huge track as fans praise Easter eggs

That’s Showbiz Baby, a new album from Jade Thirlwall, has been enjoying the attention of fans, and the former Little Mix singer has now revealed one of her hit songs to the fans.

Jade Thirlwall continues to mark her mark on the music industry as a solo artist and she has revealed the amazing secret behind her new tune. The former Little Mix star, 32, recently released her debut album, That’s Showbiz Baby, featuring huge hits such as Angel of My Dreams and FUFN.

However, it was her rendition of Before You Break My Heart that grabbed the attention of listeners. The song, which is a mashup that includes the iconic Diana Ross and The Supremes song from 1965, Stop!, has received rave reviews from Jade’s fans.

And now she has revealed a little secret: the younger voice in the song’s chorus was actually her when she was just 11 years old. The vocals were taken from a previous South Shields recording of her homecoming show.

She admits playing the video to her producer who loved it so much it got included in the final edition. Taking to Instagram, Jade shared the video with her followers and captioned it: “How we made Before You Break My Heart.”

Before the cut, the clip featured a young Jade singing in a purple dress and Jade listening to the enhanced version in the studio.

She also shared how her niece features in the video as a young version of herself. It comes after a sweet rendition of the tune was first heard during her BBC Proms showing in her home region at the Glasshouse.

Before You Break My Heart, a user gushed, “Sampling yourself singing as a child was GENIUS,” Jade captioned the upload.

Another added: “I’ve been listening to this song non-stop all morning and thinking about the creative process behind it, with all the tiny and enticing production details/ Easter eggs (as I believe is a trademark of the whole album).

I kept thinking it was a classic yet not in a lazy way, but rather a more intimate one, almost owning it because it was such a great way to sample (don’t know if that’s the right term here). And I now understand why this is the case. Congratulations on this outstanding body of work. “It’s been a while since I’ve been so excited about an album.

Little jade is everywhere, and I adore it, wrote a third, and a fourth person responded, “I can’t remember you practice in that dress in the living room most nights. Love the sample.

She previously admitted she won’t be making any money from the tune no matter how successful it is. “I didn’t think [Before You Break My Heart] would be a favourite,” Jade said in a recent interview. “But it’s the one that’s getting the most traction online.”

When The Sun inquired about how she could use the sample on the track, she admitted, “I am getting no royalties for that track, that’s how I got it.”

Moldova bans pro-Russian parties ahead of Sunday’s election

The high-stakes election this weekend, which was overshadowed by claims of Russian interference, has been suspended by Moldova’s electoral commission.

The commission cited allegations of illegal financing, voter bribery, and undeclared foreign funds as justification for the commission’s decision to axe the Heart of Moldova and Moldova Mare parties on Friday. Before Sunday’s election, both parties had campaigned for closer ties with Moscow to challenge the pro-Western government.

Following a ruling from the Chisinau Court of Appeal that temporarily curbed the party’s activities for a year, the court of appeal decided against the Heart of Moldova. Following earlier this month’s allegations of money laundering, illegal financing, and attempts to bribe voters, the Ministry of Justice requested the ban.

The organization disputed the allegations, calling the action a political purge.

This isn’t justice, but a culmination of a dirty show planned by the authorities to silence us, the statement read. Irina Vlah, the party’s leader, also denounced the decision, calling it a “political spectacle, concocted a long time ago.”

The electoral commission announced that Heart of Moldova’s candidates would be removed from the Patriotic Electoral Bloc (BEP), which has been the party’s main adversary in opposition to the ruling party of Action and Solidarity (PAS). The bloc has 24 hours to change its candidate list to ensure eligibility.

The commission also forbade Moldova Mare, citing its involvement in a “camouflaged electoral bloc” linked to a banned party, as well as vote-buying, covert financing from abroad, and its involvement in what it called a “camouflaged electoral bloc.”

Moldova, a former Soviet republic that acquiesced to the EU in 2022, is viewed as crucial to the outcome of Sunday’s election. The outcome will determine whether the nation stays in favor of Moscow or reverses its course.

Under President Maia Sandu’s leadership since 2021, the PAS has enjoyed a strong parliamentary majority, but analysts fear that as Russia-friendly blocs grow in popularity.

The PAS is under pressure on a number of fronts, especially with no significant pro-European candidates for the election.

Play-off eliminator for Betfred Super League

Leigh (18) 26

Goals: O’Brien 5

Wakefield (0) 10

In their first Super League play-off elimination game, the Leigh Leopards defeated Wakefield Trinity to advance to the semi-finals.

The visitors controlled the first half thanks to tries from Keanan Brand, Isaac Liu, and Josh Charnley, who finished nine points clear of Trinity in the regular season.

Wakefield had hoped in the opening period of the second half thanks to Jayden Myers’ response, but Cameron Scott’s superb solo try was only consolation due to a Gareth O’Brien penalty and Alec Tuitavake’s score.

After a fantastic first season back in the Super League, Leigh and Trinity faced their first play-off appearance in 13 years.

On their final trip to the Leopards Den, Daryl Powell’s team won 40-14, and Josh Griffin almost had a dream start when he scored O’Brien’s first-minute clearance kick but couldn’t gather as a clear run to the line awaited.

The visitors, who had Matty Storton in the second row injured in five minutes, were essentially done with the first half.

Umyla Hanley scored Brand’s seventh try in four games and his 17th Super League try of the season from Leigh who soon made it easy on the front.

As Wakefield were penned deep into their own territory by rampant Leigh, three tacklers combined to stop Hanley’s charge for the line while Frankie Halton was held up a metre short.

Trinity’s goalline defense resisted pressure, but Liu’s powerful run resulted in a battered backline that finally cracked.

With a 40-20 lead, Lachlan Lam kept the fast-forward momentum, and Charnley was instrumental scrum-half-half-frenchly fed Charnley to cross in the left corner a few plays later.

Within four minutes of the restart, the visitors desperately needed the next try. O’Brien quickly reacted with a high kick that Mason Lino had rebounded from, and Myers performed a spectacular diving one-handed kick.

O’Brien received a momentum-stalling penalty right away before Tuitavake crashed over on the hour to put the hosts out of sight with a score of 26-4.

“Hopefully we can reproduce that next week” is the response.

Adrian Lam, head coach of the Leigh Leopards, told BBC Radio Manchester:

When our attitude is right and there is effort to support it, we are capable of doing that. That’s taken a long time, but hopefully we can reproduce that next week.

We were 80 minutes away from Old Trafford last year, and we were in this position, and I’m grateful for that.

Because I knew we needed to do that to advance, “I made a lot of changes.”

We’ll have to wait and see whether this team is prepared for that or not next week, but I’m just grateful that this group of players is beginning to come together as a group.

Daryl Powell, the head coach of Wakefield Trinity, told BBC Radio Leeds:

Leigh exceeded what we’ve seen before, in my opinion, by a few notches. I thought they managed to do a fantastic job.

“We were strong in the second half, but we just didn’t get enough tonight.” Every time we tried to make things difficult, we would put the ball down.

You can’t have that in these games, I don’t think we had many boys who would hold their hands up and say they were at their best tonight.

Hodgson, Brand, Niu, Hanley, Charnley, O’Brien, Lam, Ofahengaue, Ipape, Mulhern, Halton, Trout, Liu, and Brand.

Wakefield includes McMeeken, Hood, Faatili, Griffin, Storton, Pitts, Myers, Scott, Pratt, Johnstone, Trueman, Lino, Myers, Myers, Scott, Myers, Scott, Pratt, and Scott.

Mo Gilligan’s fiancée feels ‘suffocated’ as she welcomes baby after ‘secret love child’

Taia Tulher, the fiancee of Masks Singer star Mo Gilligan, has come out to express her feelings for the first child after claiming to have a secret love child.

Comedian Mo Gilligan’s fiancée has confirmed they have welcomed their first child together as she shared the ups and downs of motherhood. The Masked Singer judge and his partner Taia Tulher welcomed their baby a few weeks ago, as he faced claims of having another child.

Mo popped the question last month, following claims from his ex Selina Christoforou. She posted an explosive video on TikTok where she claimed he already has a child but is a “deadbeat dad”.

The model claimed she knows how few times the star has met his son Rudi and insisted you “can’t make someone be a dad”. Mo stayed silent on the claims, but he appeared to hit back at Selina by sharing his first post featuring Rudi.

Now, amid the newborn bubble, Taia has revealed more details of the birth of her child with Mo. She shared a touching montage of clips from throughout her pregnancy and gushed over Mo for being the “kindest and strongest”.

My dearest baby, Taia wrote, “Every night I play you this song I wrote, so you can drift off into the love that I sometimes can’t express in words.” And as I hold you, I hope you experience the same love that you once experienced in your own mother’s arms: a deep, steady state of love that reflects who you are.

“I hope you feel it in every note, how every worry fades when I look at you, how holding you makes me feel like God has taken my hand once again. Whenever I lose my way, it is you who brings me back to the path.” She added: “There are days when the tiredness feels heavy, when the world seems to close in, when harm and pain try to reach me and I feel like I’m slowly suffocating. But then I remember I have you.

You are life loving me back, as I once read, not just the love of my life. She addressed Mo, saying, “Your father is the kindest, strongest soul I know, and I am never endingly grateful for him.”

His constant love has always been my anchor, and I sincerely hope you’ll continue to love him as you mature. This love is ours, it is mine, and it is yours. The melody will always be with you. And it won’t end, “

A source earlier this week confirmed that Mo and Taia are in a “blood of bliss.” She gave birth to her baby a short while ago, and things are now back to normal.

The pair were seen at London Fashion Week together, and there was no sign of Taia’s bump. “They are keeping their baby’s gender and name for just close friends and family but they’ve been sharing the news of the baby’s arrival with people now. Mo and Taia couldn’t be happier,” the source added to The Sun.

Ex-Selina yelled foul at Mo in a viral post, saying, “I just posted on Instagram about my son’s dad. For your information, I don’t blame you. His father is Mo Gilligan, I guess. Quite a lot of quotation marks.

Continue reading the article.

According to a source at the time, Mo sees the baby “semi-regularly.” She learned she was pregnant in May of this year, according to the insider, and both of them were shocked by their diligence.

Despite the fact that they weren’t actually a couple, she still wanted to have the child. Mo sees their son semi-regularly, and she adores him. He is excited about becoming a father for the second time and is excited about it. He feels comfortable with Taia and has been with her for a while.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson admits he’s ‘not a big therapy guy’ after mental health battle

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has acknowledged that he felt like Mark Kerr in his most vulnerable performance to date after giving his most recent one.

Former WWE star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has admitted that he’s “not a big therapy guy”, despite suffering from several severe bouts of depression. The 53-year-old actor found the pressure of making Hollywood blockbusters particularly difficult to deal with.

But ahead of his upcoming biopic, the wrestler has opened up about the similarities between him and his troubled character Mark Kerr. The Smashing Machine delves into the life of former wrestler and MMA fighter Kerr, who battled addiction problems and experienced multiple overdoses.

The critically acclaimed movie sees Johnson portray Kerr, whose promising career was derailed by his opioid addiction. Kerr, 56, is now in recovery and on a mission to inspire others to fight their demons and free themselves from addiction.

Johnson himself inducted him in the UFC Hall of Fame in 2025 with a moving performance. However, the actor, who admits he’s always preferred to “bottle s*** up,” discovered that playing the lead character in the new film had old wounds.

Speaking to the Guardian, Johnson revealed: “I’m not a big therapy guy. I’ve had some great conversations with therapists but it’s not the thing I run to. I bottle s*** up inside me, like a lot of guys, which I recognise is not the healthiest thing to do.

Then I said, “Wait, I can still do what I love to do, acting. What if, however, it contains something deeper and more meaningful for me?

Johnson, the wrestler who played Kerr, admitted that he had been wanting to do something more brutal for a while and that the two wrestlers shared traits. He acknowledged that he felt free from the pressure of the box office and that he felt “comfortable with the challenge of having to live up to an image”.

The Smashing Machine was “so liberating” despite his passion for “making the Jumanjis and Moanas”. Johnson was pleased that the “process” was being prioritized over the “money” issue.

Johnson, a Fast & Furious star, previously discussed his mental health issues on The Pivot Podcast. He had his first encounter with depression when he left school, revealing: “At that time… I simply knew I didn’t want to be there because I didn’t know what depression was or what mental health was.

Speaking to former NFL stars Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder, he shared aspects of his mental-health journey and the “three bouts of depression” he has faced. He experienced it again when he divorced his first wife, Dany Garcia in 2008, and then again in 2017.

He explained to the hosts, “Fortunately at that time, I had some friends on whom to lean on and say, “Hey, I’m feeling a little wobbly now, have a little struggle happening, I’m seeing a little gray and not the blue.”

His mother also had her own experiences with depression. In a 2019 interview with the Express, he revealed he had saved his mum from a suicide attempt as she stepped onto a freeway in Nashville when he was just 15.

He responded, “I grabbed her and placed her back on the side of the road that was gravel.” We both recovered, but we must always make an effort to watch other people when they are hurt. We must remind them that they are not the only ones who have to face it.
