New mum Sophie Habboo left fans stunned after sharing a photo of herself in labour before giving birth to her first child. The Made In Chelsea star, 31, welcomed son Ziggy into the world with husband, Jamie Laing, 36, last week and told her followers that the tot had “captured our whole hearts”.
Many mums-to-be would prefer to have their photo taken after their baby is born. However, Sophie has posted candid snaps of herself in labour in which she smiles serenely from her hospital bed with two fetal monitoring straps around her belly. With her arms behind her head, the reality star looks positively serene as she prepares to welcome her son into the world.

Commenting on the stunning snap, Sophie’s followers were full of admiration. While many flooded the comments section with love hearts, one impressed fan gushed: “How do you still look like a supermodel during labour? Beautiful!”
Among the carousel of photos was one of Jamie in the delivery suite – sporting an eye mask and black pyjamas – as he prepared to become a dad for the first time. Sophie also shared a photo of Ziggy’s little hand as the family of the three started their new lives together.
Announcing their son’s birth, Jamie said on Instagram: “Ziggy, you have our whole hearts.” Celebrity pals including Stacey Solomon and Stacey Dooley were quick to offer their congratulations. Rochelle Humes and Rylan Clark also reached out to the new parents with the One Show’s Alex Jones telling them: “Let the adventures begin!”
Sophie and Jamie recorded the last episode of their Nearly Parents podcast two weeks, with Sophie breaking down in tears as they were surprised with a goodbye party as she went on maternity leave. “Now we get the party started,” Jamie declared as the crowd whooped and clapped before dancing away.
Sophie revealed during the final podcast that the couple were looking at methods to get her labour moving, joking: “I told you guys, we’re a the stage where we should be nailing the sex.”
Spluttering, Jamie quipped: “Wait, you’ve never told me this.” Sophie replied: “I did, I said we need to be having sex, we really need to wrap this up. You looked at me and went: ‘Pfft you’re just a bit of a unit.'” The couple then fell into laughter as Sophie joked: “As I’m there, with my t*ts hanging on my stomach.”
The pair met on E4’s reality smash hit, Made In Chelsea, before going on to bag coveted hosting gigs on the Radio One presenting team.

After dating for several years, Jamie got down on one knee at the swanky Rosewood London hotel in December 2021 – where he and Sophie shared their first ever date – and popped the question.
A luxury boutique in Los Angeles, which is famous for controversial window displays, has taken aim at the Duchess of Sussex as it dubbed her a ‘Montecito Diva’

Meghan Markle has been named “villain of the year” in a scathing attack by a luxury boutique in Los Angeles. The Duchess of Sussex was just one of many names who featured in a controversial window display, in which she was branded a ‘Montecito diva’.
The brutal attack featured at high-end department store Kitson, who have exhibited their ‘Holiday hypocrites window display’ each year since 2020. Meghan was featured alongside other “villains” including California governor Gavin Newsom, George Clooney and Katy Perry, as a cardboard cut-out of the Duchess depicted her in a Santa hat surrounded by clips of negative headlines.

The headlines surrounding Meghan’s images included one quoting that both Harry and Meghan are ‘disliked by Americans’, and another about her recent controversial Harper’s Bazaar interview in which she was allegedly announced by her royal title to an empty room.
It is not the first time the store, which is located an hour away from where the Duke and Duchess live in Montecito, has taken aim at Meghan Markle. After Harry and Meghan quit their royal duties in 2020 and relocated to America, the retailer started offering up ‘Team Harry & Meghan’ and ‘Team William & Kate’ t-shirts so buyers could back their favourite royal couple.
Kitson owner Fraser Ross told the Daily Mail: “It started out with customers asking us if we had anything related to the young royals. They would go on to say why they favoured one couple over the other. There were literally people arguing on the floor with each other about it. I knew it was time to bring back the infamous ‘Team’ shirts.”
The store originally started selling ‘Team’ shirts in 2005 when Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston broke up, offering up ‘Team Jolie’ and ‘Team Aniston’ shirts.
The blistering attack comes just days after Meghan’s Netflix Christmas special was savaged by industry critics , who called the one-hour festive programme “unfathomable” and “pointless”.
The Duchess of Sussex’s Christmas-themed episode premiered on the streaming giant on December 3, in which she was joined by a range of celebrity guests to indulge in festive-themed crafts and cooking.
The show was met with a mix of reviews, with some fans sharing their joy for the episode on social media. However, several media outlets were quick to share their harsh criticisms of the programme, with one publication dubbing it “quite mad and a little bit sad”.
The festive programme got a one-star review by The Independent, as writer Hannah Ewens dubbed it a “predictably insipid festive special”, as she said: “It’s not a real special by any stretch, but some YouTube content or the radio that you might put on in the background as you do your tree or wrap your presents. White noise to dull the senses. It’s all a little Stepford Wives; not informative, fun, enjoyable or even aspirational. Because the people watching this, including me, will never have a Christmas like this.”
The Times’s Hilary Rose was also highly critical of the episode, saying: “It’s unfathomable: four pointless crafts, three random ‘friends’, two unseen kids, one English prince and a duchess in a pear tree, or at least making pear syrup.”
Adult content star Bonnie Blue is awaiting her fate after being detained in Bali on alleged violations of Indonesia’s strict ‘morality’ laws. Nearly 20 male tourists were thrown into custody after cops raided the star’s accommodation

Controversial adult star Bonnie Blue has been detained in Bali for allegedly creating pornographic content in violation of Indonesia’s strict ‘morality’ laws.
The British sex worker, real name Tia Billinger, was thrown into custody on Thursday afternoon alongside 17 male tourists, aged between 19 and 40 from Australia and the UK. Cops swarmed in on Bonnie’s accommodation in Badung after a member of the public called the police. As a Muslim-majority country, Indonesia takes a tough line on distributing, producing or publicly displaying adult content, and the star could face up to 15 years prison and a fine of about £270,000 if convicted.
The 26-year-old, who rose to fame for organising extreme sex “challenges” with general members of the public – including ‘barely legal’ teenagers – had travelled to the holiday hotspot on a tourist visa to take her ‘Bang Bus’ tour international.

When police raided the Nottingham-born star’s rented studio, they seized several cameras, 19 outfits labelled ‘School Bonnie Blue’, lubricant, nine pink necklaces, a box of condoms, flash drives, two sheets of Viagra pills – some used, and her ‘Bang Bus’ van along with the ownership certificate, according to reports.
Arif Batubara, Badung’s Police Chief, told local media on Friday that he had made the arrests after a report from a member of the public. They had raised concerns after “suspected pornography or the creation of indecent video material”, they said. Pornography is strictly banned in Indonesia, with those found on the wrong side of the law facing heavy penalties, including hefty fines and jail stints. There is no suggestion that any minor was involved.
Bonnie is said to have sourced a van locally as part of her ‘Bang Bus’ project, in a bid to attract Australian students in the country celebrating graduation, known “Schoolies”. She recently travelled around the UK to attend various Freshers events as part of the same ‘challenge’. After landing in Bali, she wrote on social media: “Hey boys, those that are going to Schoolies and to those who are barely legal, cannot wait to meet you and I’m in Bali, so you know exactly what that means.”
Video footage showed 14 Aussie men walking out of a detention centre covering their faces with T-shirts and even a McDonald’s bag shortly after they were arrested on Friday. It’s claimed that the group were released together after being interviewed as witnesses and will likely be allowed to head home in a matter of days. An immigration official from Ngurah Rai told the Daily Mail: “They (the 14 Australians) will be allowed to go back to their country after we finish the examination.”
Bonnie, along with two Brits and an Australian, were detained for longer, with the adult content creator eventually being released on Saturday morning, the publication reports. But the nightmare wasn’t over, as the viral sex star was then handed over to immmigration officers and is set to be interviewed over Tuesday and Wednesday.
Police Chief Batubara said on Saturday: “We have handed them over to the Immigration for further investigation on alleged breaking Immigration law. Police investigation are still ongoing. We jointly conduct the investigation with the Immigration.”
Bonnie’s fierce rival Annie Knight has slammed the star’s decision to travel to Bali in a scathing interview. “It’s really not surprising, she told news.com.au. “You go to a country where sex work is illegal and you do sex work, you’re going to get arrested. I tried to warn her on the Kyle and Jackie O show and she decided to go ahead with her plans… she made a decision and it hasn’t paid off.”
Chaos also erupted in September back on home soil when Bonnie was reportedly punched in the face at a student nightclub in Sheffield. Police arrived at the scene but shortly after, they confirmed to The Mirror that incident was settled “through an outcome of restorative justice.”
Bonnie has become notorious for taking part in extreme sex stunts, including sleeping with 1,057 men in the space of just 12 hours. In recent months, her troubling career ambitions escalated to the point where OnlyFans barred her from the sex site. The final straw came in June, when the 26-year-old announced her plans to hold a human “petting zoo challenge”. The stunt would have seen Bonnie locked in a glass cage as strangers came to do “whatever they wanted” to her, sparking complaints from fellow sex workers and women’s rights activists that she was glamourising rape culture.
In Channel 4’s recent documentary ‘1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story’ – which sparked hundreds of Ofcom complaints – Nottinghamshire-born Bonnie boasted: “I am going to be completely helpless, tied down, gagged, choked”. OnlyFans had concerns about the stunt, which it claims was in violation of their Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service, and issued a permanent ban. Campaigners have long called for the website to take action against Bonnie’s content but it continued to platform her until very recently.
Away from the sex site, Bonnie has also been banned from foreign countries and even a football stadium back in the UK. She often brags about being barred from certain places – a tactic that fuels her self-confessed rage-bait strategy and drives views on social media.
Earlier this year, she told the Daily Star that she’d been marched off the premises of Nottingham Forest Football Stadium last October and permanently barred. She claimed: “I didn’t understand why, because I’d not actually done anything… when you go to football, you’ve got football hooligans, people fighting, drinking, you’ve got so much bigger things to be concerned about, and they were just like – no, you’re banned.”
Bonnie is also banned from Australia and Fiji after her plans to sleep with 18-year-old boys for content during ‘Schoolies Week’ infuriated Aussie parents. A 20,000-strong petition ensued, and her visa was revoked. However, last month, she brazenly bragged about the ban and insisted that she was still planning to go ahead with her controversial ‘Schoolies’ event despite the uproar.

“Every year the government and the middle-aged mums try to ban me from Schoolies,” she said in a video. “But this year it is impossible to ban me. With good lawyers, a lot of money, flights, villa, and the boys lined up, I cannot wait to do Schoolies 2025 bigger than ever.”
Titanic star, Leonardo DiCaprio, has spoken candidly about the reality of fame and how he stays sane as one of the world’s most recognisable actors

Hollywood heartthrob, Leonardo DiCaprio, has revealed why he always covers his face in public as he reflects on the pressure of fame as one of Tinseltown’s biggest stars.
The Titanic icon, 51, who shot to fame as a teen in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? now boasts a CV most actors could only dream about – with a string of awards, including three Golden Globes and an Oscar to boot.
However, his stellar success has come at a price, with the star frequently seen in public wearing a face mask or a low-slung baseball cap as he humbly admits he wants to ‘disappear as much as you possibly can’.

Opening up about his extraordinary life outside his work as one of the planet’s most recognisable stars, Leo says he hopes his career will last longer if fans don’t see him all the time.
Claiming he was also going incognito for the sake of his career, he continued: “I was like: ‘OK, how do I have a long career?’ Because I love what I do, and I feel like the best way to have a long career is to get out of people’s face.”
Leo said he feels it’s best to ‘disappear unless you have something to say’, telling TIME magazine: “It’s been a balance I’ve been managing my whole adult life and still I’m not an expert.
“I think my simple philosophy is only get out there and do something when you have something to say, or you have something to show for it. Otherwise, just disappear as much as you possibly can.”
The Talented Mr Ripley star never seems to be seen out in public without concealing his identity with the help of a hat or a face mask. He started wearing face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic and has kept up with the practice to this day.
At Amazon boss Jeff Besos’ wedding in the summer in Venice, Leo was only papped with his baseball cap, which was worn low over his face as he maintained his bid to go incognito.
In August, the star opened up about his one regret when it comes to his career as he spoke candidly about turning down “a profound movie of my generation”.
The Oscar winner, who is best known for roles including The Wolf of Wall Street, This Boy’s Life, The Revenant, and Catch Me If You Can, revealed that his biggest regret when it comes to his movie past is turning down a role which Mark Wahlberg later got cast for.
Wahlberg’s performance in the 1997 box office hit Boogie Nights earned him global notoriety, and Leo couldn’t help but be remorseful after watching the flick, which he turned down.
Speaking to Esquire, Leo admitted: “My biggest regret is not doing Boogie Nights. It was a profound movie of my generation. I can’t imagine anyone but Mark [Wahlberg] in it. When I finally got to see that movie, I just thought it was a masterpiece.”
Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope admits taking part in the BBC dance show was ‘tough’ on his actress girlfriend as he opens up about his connection with Katya Jones

Lewis Cope has shared further insight into his brutal elimination from Strictly Come Dancing and revealed the toll it’s had on his girlfriend.
The star released an emotional statement about his time on the BBC dance show and admitted the experience was “tough” on his girlfriend of eight years. The 30-year-old Emmerdale actor became the latest celebrity to leave the show after losing the judges’ vote in the dance off on Sunday night’s show.
Katya was left in floods of tears and said she’d finally found a partner who could ‘match’ her in Lewis.
Hartlepool-born Lewis has now opened up about his time on the show, calling his pro partner Katya Jones “extraordinary, strong, bold, funny, intelligent” and his 11 weeks on the series a “life changing experience” that will stay with him forever – but also admitted it “has been tough” on his girlfriend Rachel Lopez.

“I am so proud of us and I wouldn’t change a thing,” he said of his partnership with Katya, 36. “Your strengths rubbed off on me and we were a solid team. We always had each others back. You taught me how to embrace new emotions I was scared to, brought me out my shell and have ultimately changed me. I didn’t just fall in love with dance, I fell in ln love with life again.”
Lewis and Rachel have been together for around eight years but don’t make regular red carpet appearances, choosing instead to spend their free time traveling and exploring. She has been a regular fixture in the audience at the live shows and regularly updated her social media followers on Lewis’s progress.
In his Instagram post, Lewis wrote: “This show has brought me so much joy and I’m glad we could share the joy with you. There are so many moments that will live with me forever and I am so grateful I was lucky enough to experience them. Hartlepool, my family I will never not be grateful for the love I have received.”
He continued, “@rachmayalopez I know this experience has been tough but you have been there every step of the way with love. You are a diamond, I love you so much!”
On his new friendship with Katya, who first lifted the glitterball with Joe McFadden in 2017, Lewis added: “From the moment I met you I knew something special was about to happen.
“We clicked, the energy aligned, our values connected and we knew we were going to give this our best shot. You handled this unknown experience for me with grace and kindness and it has created the most beautiful, heartwarming memories.”

Lewis and Katya were favourites to win for much of the series, but lost out in the dance-off against Amber Davies and Nikita Kuzmin to become the ninth couple to leave the show.
On Monday night’s It Takes Two, Katya broke down in tears several times as she said that she blamed herself for Lewis’ exit.
Back in 1989, Jean Louisa Kelly shot to fame as rebellious teen Tia Russell in the smash hit Uncle Buck. Now 53, she’s excited about an exciting new movie in the works

Jean Louisa Kelly was just 17 when she burst on the movie scene through her starring role in family comedy classic Uncle Buck.
Now, 36 years later, she’s barely aged a day, as far as her appearance goes. At 53, she still looks youthful and incredible, and she’s as enthusiastic about her career as ever, having recently spoken about a “frighteningly delicious project” she’s been involved in.
Back in 1989, Jean introduced herself to the world as rebellious teen Tia Russell. She held her own opposite comedy legend John Candy and the film catapulted her into the spotlight.
However, she didn’t rest on early success and instead enrolled at Columbia University, walking away with a degree in English in 1994 – an unusual move for a young actor at the time.
After graduating, Kelly re-entered Hollywood with renewed determination. She starred in the drama Mr. Holland’s Opus (1995) and took on the role of Luisa in the movie musical The Fantasticks — proving that she could not only act but also sing and dance when the spotlight demanded it.
Between 2000 and 2006 she became a fixture in living rooms across the US as Kim Warner on the sitcom Yes, Dear – a far cry from her feisty teen character in Uncle Buck.
As her two kids grew, Jean returned to her musical roots. In 2013 she released a children’s album, and later a more personal EP reflecting on life, parenthood, and growth. In 2023 she even debuted a solo show in New York – a one-woman concert tracing her journey from small-town New England to Hollywood.
Describing the show, she posted on Instagram: “Folks! I am making my NYC concert #debut on 1/21 at the Beechman Theatre! Accompanied by award-winning musical director Paul Bogaev, the show is a biographical hour of story and song — it’s uplifting and fun!”
The concert was a success and sold out, prompting encore performances at the same venue. She told Digital Journal: “It’s my personal journey in and out of show business and throughout my life, that starts when I am 11 and it comes up to present day. It’s a very individual journey and it’s a hopeful one. The fans will hear songs from all kinds of different Broadway musicals and films. It has a little bit of everything, and it’s uplifting.”
In the blockbuster smash Top Gun: Maverick, Jean appeared as Sarah Kazansky, the wife of “Iceman” Tom Kazansky.
She’s now set to star in upcoming horror film White Sands and said: “I loved being Auntie to a gorgeous and charismatic group of young actors in this frighteningly delicious project!”
The film, said to be in post production, focuses on an aspiring food-blogger who joins her boyfriend for a beachside birthday weekend at a seaside motel run – but they’re quickly disturbed by a “sinister force tied to the motel’s occult history.”

Describing being an actress in the digital age, Jean said: “There are a lot of opportunities. It’s amazing how much content there is out there, and I am excited about it. I do love how much good material there is for women, and especially women over 50, and it’s all opening up, and it’s very exciting.”
She also shared advice for young and aspiring actors, saying: “First of all, be you and don’t try to be somebody else, and trust that this is valuable.
