Helen Flanagan shared her delight at being reunited with her three children after they spent the Christmas time with dad Scott Sinclair. It comes after the Coronation Street star’s huge outburst surrounding the footballer’s recent trip away that made him miss his son’s nativity play.

Now, Helen has revealed she is back with Matilda, 10, and Delilah, seven, and son Charlie, four. She took to Instagram to share their sweet family time as she hugged into her kids.

Alongside the snaps, Helen captioned her post: “New Year’s Eve with my babies mummy loves you so much Matilda, Delilah and Charlie xxx.”

Days earlier Helen had called out Scott. She called Scott “a piece of s**t” in the scathing rant, said to be the “final straw” for Helen three years after ending her relationship with the footballer.

Despite their split, Helen has made a lot of efforts to ensure that she has the upper hand when it comes to giving their children gifts and celebrations.

Just before Christmas, Helen raging and revealed her feelings for her ex-boyfriend. Scott shared a number of photos from his weekend at the Formula 1 in Abu Dhabi, including shots of the racetrack, friends’ drinks, and a sizable yacht. What a weekend-Abu Dhabi F1!, he wrote in the caption.

However, Helen claimed that she had missed their son’s nativity play and that she was “a piece of s***” when she accused her ex of missing it. She praised Charlie as the “best boy” after the dig, and she posted a photo of him with the dig.

After crashing her car with their father, Helen revealed she had a “waste” end to 2025 and was suffering while there. Before revealing that she crashed into another car, Helen opened up about feeling “deflated” and” rubbish” while wearing pyjamas and holding a coffee cup on New Year’s Eve.

She said: “I crashed my car yesterday. It was fine, could have been a lot worse. It’s just hassle, because I planned to go to Scotland.” Helen added: “I crashed into another car and it was totally my fault. I can’t drive my car, the bumper is hanging off.”

She recently opened up about her struggles as a single parent. She revealed: “What I find, probably, like the most difficult is probably with Matilda, because it’s just like, I feel like she’s the eldest. So me and her dad broke up when she was seven, and I feel like Delilah is just so oblivious she doesn’t care. Charlie doesn’t care he was one.

“But Matilda is sensitive, and she takes everything very seriously. And she always has a good mood when I get her back. She has a lot of mood. She is very sassy.

Helen continued, “I anticipate it because I am aware of what it is like, and I feel like I’m sort of disowning her in a way when I don’t have any control over it,” and it is not. I always want her to have a relationship with her father, regardless of our relationship, because I believe that will benefit her.

And despite everything, I keep telling her that her father must love her and that they must be completely separate from each other.

The death of an influencer’s five-year-old son came as a huge shock after the family revealed ‘miracle’ news just days earlier. A heartbroken Paul Kim took to social media on Thursday to reveal his son Micah died on New Year’s Eve.

The influencer took to Instagram to share the devastating news. He said his son has fought for 11 days after contracting a severe case of flu.

However, days before his tragic announcement, the family appeared to have had what they thought was good news about their son’s condition. In a GoFundMe page that had been set up to try to help the family cover medical expenses, the organiser offered a glimmer of hope on Christmas Day.

The update on December 25 read: “Merry Christmas everyone! We are blown away by the generous support everyone has been pouring out upon the Kim family. Thank you x a million!!!

“GoFundMe has a feature that updates and increases the goal automatically. Because the expenses and extent of medical care are unknown and likely in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Kims, we’ve left this feature on – which is why you’ll see the goal changing.“We had good news today that Micah’s heart keeps improving and getting better!!! This is huge!

Please continue to pray for his reduced brain swelling and complete recovery, in Jesus’ name, through Fulton Sheen’s aid. Hug your loved ones today, God bless you all.

Unfortunately, the outcome was not good, so Paul took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking news. He took to his platform to tell his followers that their son had been “fighting for 11 long, difficult days” before losing his life.

We’re so proud of him, Paul said. On behalf of my family, I want to thank you sincere and sincere as his father for all the prayers and favors you guys have received during this difficult time.

“This is a very difficult time for our family,” our family said. The hardest experience I’ve ever had has been and continues to be.”

He continued, “I feel like I owed all of you an update out of gratitude because I only want to have privacy this time and have time to grieve with my family.”

“Micah is already in Heaven at work, seriously, so many testimonies, so many ways in which God is using the light in my five-year-old to truly save souls and change the world.”

While some followers have so far raised more than $350,000 for the GoFundMe, others have already done so through Paul’s post.

There are no words, a user wrote. I apologize so much. Even more people than you know about your faith in this most intolerable of trials are inspired by it.

Our thoughts are with you, another poem. We express our sincere regret for your loss, and we are praying for you and your family. We are so inspired by your faith, and we can only pray that the Lord will close Micah in His loving mercy.

The son of a popular politician died after he had a severe case of the flu. Micah Kim’s son, Paul Kim, passed away on January 1st, according to a source close to the celebrity’s Instagram account.

The social media star claimed that the experience “continues to be” the hardest he has ever endured in the devastation video.

He took to his platform to tell his followers that his son had been “fighting” for “11 long, hard days” before he lost his life. Paul expressed his pride in saying, “We are so proud of him.” On behalf of my family, I want to thank you for all the ways you guys prayed and raised us during this time.

He continued, “Our family is going through an incredibly difficult time. The hardest experience I’ve ever had has been and continues to be.”

Paul acknowledged that he felt compelled to share the family’s tragic story with his followers despite wanting their privacy.

He continued, “I feel like I owed all of you an update just out of gratitude because this time is all I want to have and have time to grieve with my family.”

Seriously, there are so many testimony and examples of how God is using the light in my five-year-old to truly save lives and transform the world.

And he claimed that his father couldn’t be prouder. He continued, “Our hearts are broken.” But we have faith in God. As we practice living by faith rather than by sight, please pray for my family and I.

Following his announcement, followers quickly paid tribute. There are no words, a user wrote. I apologize so much.

Farmer Celia Daniels, who was killed last night by her right-hand man Ray Walters, received the deserved comeuppance that so many Emmerdale fans hoped she would receive. However, actress Jaye Griffiths feels sad that she was left out of the show.

After playing the roles in The Bill, Silent Witness, EastEnders, Doctors, and Casualty, actress Jaye Griffiths describes it as a tragic loss for one of her best roles. But she was aware that the wicked drug dealer would have to come to an appropriately grizzly conclusion. And who better than fellow villain Ray, who Joe Absolom brilliantly played, would be able to carry her punishment?

When Ray refuses to leave the village, because he’s fallen in love with Laurel Thomas and wants a new life, he and Celia have a furious clash and he delivers the fatal blows. Jaye, 62, admits: “Working on Emmerdale has been one of my best TV jobs ever. “There is still that thing of women being maternal, caring and the givers. Celia was none of these and I’ve loved playing her.

It took me ages to learn my lines because I was so wary of it happening, and it has also been very difficult to accept the reality of leaving. I nearly cried at the conclusion of the episode, and then I had to lie on the cold floor and pretend to be dead. It has been a challenging situation.

She has been praised by fellow Emmerdale actors for her portrayal of evil Celia, who has been hailed as one of the soap’s worst characters ever. Given that the soap has featured everyone from serial killers to rapists, Jaye considers this a significant accomplishment.

She claims that hearing this because there have been some truly excellent ones [villains] is flattering. “Celia has been a shocker, and I’m glad I didn’t avoid having no scruples, not even half a one.” She did it if she threatened to hurt someone when she said it.

I found the release to be that unfeeling, and I’ve missed the soap a lot since filming finished. It’s been incredibly difficult to suddenly have no scenes to learn or call sheets. Jaye, who arrived in the Dales in June, has had a life-changing experience.

Some of Celia’s most heinous deeds include forcing April to engage in prostitution, human trafficking, operating a modern slavery camp, and extorting money wherever possible, including from Rhona and Marlon Dingle.

She also brainwashed Ray into calling her ‘mum,’ while hiding behind a front of an ordinary farmer. And in November, Jaye disclosed how she had been the victim of crime herself, when she broke down on ITV’s Loose women and told how she had once been involved with an abusive partner.

She revealed that if you made the tea the wrong way, it might have consequences. She is now happily married. I was told I was pointless. She is also attempting to assist other domestic abuse victims through Refuge and two other organizations. She responds, “I’m glad I’ve opened up. This job has changed my life, and I’m going to meet the people at Refuge to see if I can help them.

She will miss Emmerdale, but she thanks the cast for their commitment and warmth. Everyone wants to work, but there is no skipping or trying to quit hard work, she says. Everyone wants to go there, and you always feel secure. Nobody will comment on a mistake, and nine times out of ten someone will say “yes” if you want to run through a scene before filming. Nobody should attend a school without being too cool.

She is aware that Celia’s moment was when she first met her creator despite the fact that she is depressed after being written out. She claims, “Oh my goodness, she had to be killed off.” Otherwise, she would have abandoned another family. Celia’s story has to completely change, so there is no hope of redemption for her. What would she do, though, even if she were to return? No, she was murdered in accordance with law.

She also lost control. Ray abruptly abandoned his orders. She was devastated for Celia because Ray’s love for Laurel caused her to dislike him, and he didn’t want to leave the village. Celia found it absurd that Ray wanted to lead a cute suburban life. She didn’t realize that he was looking for a change in life.

And she claims that the audience who first saw her in a local supermarket was delighted to meet the real Celia away from the set. She chuckles, “They have had a lot of salacious pleasure meeting her.” There is a “funny feeling” when meeting someone they wouldn’t want to meet in person, even though it’s not real. They first encounter Celia when they first meet her, and they kind of adore her.

According to Jaye, viewers will miss Celia if they only eat desserts with her. They may experience irreplaceable bad from them, she adds. When plans fail, all the other characters make bad decisions for good reasons. They behave differently than Celia. They will miss that, in my opinion.

And Jaye is pleased that Jaye’s portrayal of Celia helped to bring up some crucial issues. She adds, “I’m pleased we could lighten modern slavery.” Unfortunately, it does happen “all around us”. Jaye actually filmed her final scenes at the end of November, when she was treated to a massive leaving do despite only being recently written out.

She claims, “I drank far too much red wine, but I also had to keep Celia’s stick and hat.” It’s been a blast, and even when I moaned at some of her lines, it’s always so entertaining. When I permanently left the set, it nearly broke my heart.

Since her final day, she has been relaxing at home in Hertfordshire, spending Christmas with her family and two rescue dogs. And she has a new role on the horizon, although she is remaining tight lipped for now. “I can’t tell you about the role yet as I have signed so many non-disclosure forms,” she says. “But I will never forget Emmerdale. The dressing rooms are shared, nobody is in isolation and you always have a buddy. There is always someone to lend an ear and I think that is why Emmerdale is such a special place.”

Brooklyn Beckham’s long-running dispute between David and Victoria Beckham is a broken relationship, but sources claim the row doesn’t extend to other members of the family.

Posted just hours before midnight, the black-and-white photo was simply captioned: “I love you all so much.” In it, David and Brooklyn Beckham stand together, an arm lovingly draped around a shoulder.

It is the kind of post many make as the clock ticks towards a new year and we reflect on the past 12 months. But David’s choice of photo harks back to a relationship now lost. Those close to the family say relations between Brooklyn and his parents are now “non-existent”.

And if David had hoped the photo to be an olive branch to Brooklyn, ultimately it was a futile gesture. It’s unclear if Brooklyn will even see the snap given he has blocked his father, mum Victoria and brothers Cruz and Romeo from his social media accounts.But friends of the Beckhams say David and Victoria will “never give up” hope of reconciliation.

The New Year message, described by one source as David’s “boldest olive branch yet”, marked David setting “for the record his love for his son.” One source said: “David and Victoria will never give up trying to secure a reconciliation between them and their son. Nothing will change that, and they live in hope. He will always be their son, and they are not going to stop putting on record their feelings.”

Due to his eldest son’s rejection of the family, David also put together a montage of events from the previous year that didn’t feature Brooklyn. With his success with his football team in the United States and his knighthood, David has had an incredible year, according to a source. However, he still feels sad about this, which undoubtedly has overshadowed the events. Everything is very upsetting.

For Brooklyn, insiders in his camp point to the fact that there are still “communication lines” between him and his grandparents, on both sides. A source said: “While things between him and his parents are over…..Brooklyn is still very fond of his grandparents.” While blocking his parents and brothers, some point to the fact that Brooklyn still follows his grandparents on Instagram.

The source continued, “There is a lot of love for them, and that has never diminished.” Prior to this, Brooklyn has emailed his maternal grandmother, Sandra, to ask her about her. He wrote online last June, “Happy birthday, nanny xx love you so much.” He acknowledged his family for the first time, and perhaps for the last time.

Brooklyn and his parents were in the UK for a photo shoot when they arrived around the same time. They were the only ones to learn about it when he photographed him in a central London pub. Friends claim that even in 2026, the Beckhams “not anticipating the situation to change,” but they’ll always have hope.

However there is still a deep unease about Nicola’s friends saying how his new wife helped Brooklyn “see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within his family”. It was described as “deeply unpleasant and patently untrue” by the Beckham’s friends at the time. A source said: “That was a low blow but they will always be there for their son.”

For Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, they have historically found David and Victoria’s postings to be grating. Brooklyn in particular feels triggered by the outpourings of affection. One insider has even previously labelled their posts “performative.” It’s not known what they think of David’s New Year’s Eve post, if in fact they have even seen it.

Many people think there is too much bad blood between the two camps to let go. Brooklyn isolating himself from his own family, and Nicole’s side are still upset about being depicted as controlling.

“It’s classic misogyny – blame the woman. In fact Brooklyn is quite capable of making his own mind up and this is very much led by him,” said a source. They added: “She is not isolating him at all. He is free to do what he wants and he loves his wife and they are happy together. They are each other’s family.” The Beckhams know this all too well. A particular low point to the feud was when Brooklyn renewed his wedding vows to Nicola – after inviting none of his family to the service.

They first learned about the service after reading about it in media reports. Following that, Nicole posted a number of photos of the event, including a family lineup. Her father Nelson was seen officiating the service in a photo that appeared to be online. It must have been very upsetting to find out this way, according to a source at the time.

Nicola, 30, and Brooklyn, 26, have only been married three years. Brooklyn stated during a speech about the ceremony that it was a “really beautiful experience — a really cute memory” in August.

I could, to be honest, renew my vows with her every single day. Finding the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with is probably the most important thing someone can do, in my opinion. It undoubtedly influences your personality. Yes, it was incredibly cute. It was a lot of fun.

When asked about married life with Nicola, Brooklyn previously told People magazine it was like “a never-ending play date.” “We don’t like to go out for dinner, really,” he said “We don’t like to party or anything like that. When we are together, which is a lot of the time, we just hang out with our four dogs, and drink wine at home.”

“I was a whirlwind, and I was hardly able to express my milestone birthday to myself.” Despite having many surprises in 2025, I’m exactly where I wished I’d been. I never even managed to write a birthday post because I was dealing with the most awful nausea.

“Looking back at this gorgeous birthday party with my closest friends and family. Everyone I love is going to forever be in one room, which is my favorite.

More than anything, this year’s accomplishments have confirmed to me that you are on a timeline. Don’t be afraid to rush you. Even though it has only just begun, 40 is already one of my most memorable of all time. MERRY BROTHER, EVERYONE. May 2026 bring you the xxxx of happiness.

She concluded by thanking Sarah Love_Entertainment, who has been organizing her birthdays and celebrations for the past 20 years. Without you, I couldn’t have accomplished this stunning night. You’re truly the best, she exclaimed.

Former bandmate Kimberley Walsh was one of the people who made the cutest comments. The singer simply shared five red heart emojis with a pal.

Last week, Nicola made the announcement that she would have her first child. Eight months after she made her engagement announcement to 36-year-old football player Mitch Hahn,

The Sticks + Stones singer took to social media to reveal the news. She said: “Mitch and I have had the most magical Christmas Day sharing the most precious news with our families. We’ve been keeping a secret. We are five months pregnant! We can’t wait to meet our little one in the spring.”

In June 2022, the pair’s relationship was confirmed. They made an appearance at Elton John’s British Summertime concert in Hyde Park. The Masked Singer star appeared smitten with her man during the sweet date night, and the pair both appeared to be in love.

And last year, Nicola donned an engagement ring for her final performance at Brighton Pride. During a trip to the South of France, it is thought that Mitch had kneeld down.
