Katherine Ryan explains why daughter Violet, 16, is spoiled with extravagant gifts and flights

Katherine Ryan, a mother-of-four and comedian, has admitted spoiling her adolescent daughter and explained why she made the choice.

Katherine Ryan has revealed she is happy to spoil her teen daughter with extravagant presents and expensive flights. And she admits there is a big reason as to why she does so.

The comedian, 42, has four children under the age of 16, including Violet. She is the proud mother of Holland, a newborn, and Fred, a four-year-old.

And while talking about nepo babies, she explained why she is so happy to spoil her brood. Speaking to Paloma Faith on her Mad, Sad & Bad podcast, Katherine confessed: “I don’t raise humble children. I know that being a nepo baby can backfire.

Many of these children have real struggles to reach their potential, which is a terrible feeling. I have, however, decided to give my daughter very extravagant Valentine’s gifts and spoil her as much as I can.

She continued, “I fly her wherever she wants to go, I get her VIP tickets to anything I can,” adding that she didn’t want her to be impressed by another person’s dusty son. I once received a very positive offer of a ride home.

“I consider myself to be a very good mother and a very good father,” he said. My wheelhouse is parenting. I excel at it.

I look after my children, and I’m honest with them. I don’t feel the same shame as many women who choose to be mothers, in my opinion.

Along with husband Bobby Kootstra, Katherine gave birth to baby number four earlier this month. Although Katherine initially made an effort to keep her baby news a secret for as long as possible, Violet’s daughter left a strong hint in a social media post.

The TV star’s husband, Bobby, took to social media to announce the arrival of their daughter in response to her daughter’s behavior. Holland Juliette Kootstra has arrived, he declared.

Another MVP performance was delivered by “The Patrick Mahomes of childbirth”! Amazing to see @kathbum #blessed’s incredible accomplishments.

And after the birth, Bobby revealed that his Canadian wife had Dom Pérignon champagne in the comfort of her hospital room. A bottle of the vintage bubbles retails for about £189.

Katherine tucked into a selection of expensive dishes, including sushi from Nobu, a celebrity hotspot. She did it once more from her chic hospital suite, which she had previously rented.

Earlier this year, Katherine opened up on her wishes for a fourth child as she admitted she didn’t think time was on her side. The former Celebrity Gogglebox star visited a fertility clinic with husband Bobby and discussed the chances of them being able to conceive.

Victoria Beckham’s olive branch to estranged son Brooklyn as he shares new video

Apparently, their eldest sons, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz, have a feud with their husband, the sexiest girl, Victoria Beckham.

Victoria Beckham has been keeping busy by promoting her Netflix documentary, but fans still have questions about her and the Beckham family’s feud with Brooklyn. Her and David’s eldest son, Brooklyn, have been hitting headlines this year after he missed many big family events.

Despite the tense relationship, Posh Spice recently showed her support for her firstborn son after he shared a cooking video on his Instagram page. On Thursday, former aspiring photographer Brooklyn took to his social media page to demonstrate how he cooks buttermilk pancakes.

Fans figured out quickly that Victoria and David, both footballers, liked the post, and emailed the comment section.

One fan wrote, “His mum is liking his posts, they miss you, just give them a call,” while another wrote, “His mum just liked the posts.

You appear very depressed. One person remarked, “Make up with your family and you’ll feel much happier.”

It comes after Victoria discussed her family and fashion design career on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

When Alex Cooper from Call Her Daddy asked how she had stepped back and “allowing her children to make their own decisions,” Victoria responded, “I mean, we’re such a close family.

We always let them know that any topics they want to discuss in a safe place, as they say, and communication is key. That is extremely crucial. However, they must embark on their own journeys. ‘.

When probed further on how she and David navigate the shifting dynamics within their family, she maintained: “Again, it’s just about communicating. We’ve always been that way with the kids. And I’m excited for them, they’re all very different. They all like to do different things.”

Brooklyn seems to be actively pursuing “different things” right now. The aspiring photographer turned budding chef has no immediate plans to end the fight with his parents and siblings, according to Victoria’s candid conversation.

A source has alleged that Brooklyn is “really focused on living a peaceful, drama-free life” with Nicola, adding: “They’ve built their own world together and are very content in it. They want to let things settle naturally rather than trying to fix something that still feels tense.”

The insider claimed that the relationships between the Beckham clan are still “huge rifts” and that they are “absolutely broken.” Brooklyn’s ability to communicate with Harper Seven, his younger sister, is still unknown. In the most recent update on the Beckham family feud, the source confirmed to US Weekly that “the relationships are all still strained.”

Stacey Solomon says she doesn’t care what people think of her any more in honest admission

When Stacey Solomon and her big sister Jemma visited the Hollywood Hills, she embarrassed her and said it was all worth it because she tried to “fit in.”

Stacey Solomon has said she doesn’t care what people think of her anymore as she paraded around in a collagen face mask during a trip to Los Angeles with her sister Jemma.

The 36-year-old donned the skin-hydrating skin mask as the pair hiked to the famed Hollywood sign, embarrassing her big sister, who joked she didn’t want to be seen with her.

When Jemma’s protestations were unrepented, mum-of-five Stacey kept it simple and said, “She’s going to be jealous when I look 10 years younger than her tonight.” Everyone in Los Angeles is concerned about their skin. I’m doing my part to fit in, just as I should.

Stacey revealed that as she uncovered more videos of their walk, the mask had essentially vanished shortly after she peeled it off before they posed for photos next to the infamous Hollywood sign.

Stacey then continued to tell her 6.1 million followers, “Not too bad, I’m sorry. It has completely permeated. I can remove it right away. You saw, you only had a few hours to go through it.

I don’t care what anyone thinks because I’m only an adult in my life. I just don’t care what anyone thinks because of this, which makes my skin so lovely. Look at me, my goodness, it was so worthwhile.

“Look at me,” I say. Hollywood has me glowing right now. My hair is blowing. I’m 36. I just want to look after myself, not whether others perceive me as a weirdo or hate me, or whatever.

In a heartfelt post, Stacey shared more photos with Jemma, expressing her feelings for her: “My sister, I feel like a kid again when I’m with you Jem. I’m so moved by it. A lifetime-long friendship and an unbreakable bond exist between sisters.

I’m so happy I got to be here for you this week, thank you for sticking by me through it. to see you slash it! Jem, I adore you to the moon and back. x. “

Her visit to the States comes shortly after it was revealed that Stacey and husband Joe Swash’s BBC reality series, titled Stacey & Joe, would soon be back for another series after proving a hit with fans.

It took viewers behind the scenes at their Essex home, Pickle Cottage, where they live with their three kids, Rex, six, Rose, four, and Belle, two. Joe also has son Harry, 18, from his previous relationship with Emma Sophocleous. While Stacey has sons Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 13, from previous relationships.

A source told The Sun earlier this week: “There’s a definite hunger for these celebrity-based At Home With . . . style shows, with both Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy also getting their versions. But Stacey, with hubby Joe, is blazing a trail.”

The fifth season of Stacey’s other major television series, Sort Your Life Out, just wrapped up. It’s been amazing to see how viewers have taken Stacey, Joe, their kids, and their beloved pets, according to Clare Sillery, BBC documentaries commissioner.

Richard Madeley confesses to smoking 60 cigarettes a day – and what made him quit

Richard Madeley has described his “very addictive personality,” which led to him smoking three packs of cigarettes per day until he was 40.

Richard Madeley has revealed he used to secretly smoke 60 cigarettes a day – and shared the one thing that finally made him quit the unhealthy habit.

The 69-year-old presenter, who shot to fame presenting TV shows with his wife Judy Finnigan, 77, confessed to having a ‘very addictive personality’. This is why he never tried drugs, as he was already so hooked on smoking.

Richard claimed to have “never even smoked a joint” when he spoke with Busted star Matt Willis on his On The Mend podcast. He explained to Matt why, saying, “I was a very heavy smoker until I was 40. I once had a daily intake of 60 to 3 packs, which is ridiculous.

I’m a very addictive person. I was aware of this, and smoking later proved it to me. As a result, I’ve always been terrified of heavier items. I do, in fact, drink a lot of wine. But I get it. “

In terms of cocaine or pot, Richard continued, “I’ve always steered clear because it terrifies me. In terms of cocaine or pot, as we used to call it. And I’m afraid I’ll fall into the same trap as you did. I never trust myself, so I never do.

Richard claimed that everyone smoked “back in the early seventies” and that he started smoking when he was 16 when he got his first job as a reporter for a local newspaper.

You were chain smoking as you were typing because you were covering a story and you returned to your typewriter at your desk and couldn’t write your story without getting a fag on the go. But it aggravated my severe addiction.

Richard claimed it was interviewing Nigella Lawson’s first husband John Diamond, a journalist for The Guardian and The Times, who passed away in 2001 at the age of 47. He recalled the moment when he finally gave up.

He was dying while he was writing a diary about dying for The Guardian, and he had throat and mouth cancer as a result of smoking when he was in his late 30s or early 40s.

“It was a tragedy, and yet it was gripping the way he talked about his shortening days and his suffering. And he came on This Morning when he probably had about three weeks to live.

He had had a lot of his oesophagus removed, and he had had tumors that caused him to have had half of his tongue removed. He had a bad attitude. One side of his mouth was constantly dribbling. And because of the surgery on his tongue, he was very difficult to understand.

I said to him in a slightly foolish way, “John, you’re in this plight because of smoking,” about halfway through this live interview. And he said, “Of course I f***ing am,” which we didn’t receive any complaints because the F-word couldn’t really be heard.

I turned around and grabbed my packet of Benson &amp, Hedges down and looked at it as I went back to my dressing room. The four or five remaining items I removed went down the toilet. If I could do anything to stop it, I knew that was it because I could not allow myself to end in that manner. And since then, I’ve never smoked anything.

Carol Vorderman’s love life from divorces to ‘special friends’ and request from Pete Wicks

Carol Vorderman has two previous marriages and has been single for the past 15 years, but she still has a number of “special friends.”

Carol Vorderman has spoken out about Pete Wicks’ “crush” comments whilst discussing her romantic life. The 64 year old former Countdown star revealed she has “basically been single” for 15 years following her split from journalist Des Kelly.

Carol, who has had two weddings, revealed her disapproval in 2022. She now favors having several “special friends” for informal gatherings.

The TV personality claims this lifestyle has given her a far “freer” way of living, reports Wales Online. However, in a recent chat with Yours magazine, Carol refused to disclose exactly how many special friends she currently enjoys.

She continued, “I’ve been basically single for about 15 years, despite having what I call medium-term boyfriends for a year or so.”

My two children, my family, and my closest friends make up the family. We have a mutual love. Because of how much I have to offer my life, I don’t need love.

Here we examine Carol’s romantic history over the years, including a cheeky remark from former The Only Way is Essex star Pete Wicks.

the two marriages of Carol

At the age of 24, Carol marries for the first time. Although the union only lasted for a year, she wed Christopher Mather from the Royal Navy.

Carol admits to doing “unfavorable” things during the wedding ceremony.

Speaking on BBC Wales, she said: “I was wearing a dress, right, you know the days when you had the white dress for the day, for the big thing itself.”

When co-host Owain Wynn Evans enquired whether she changed outfits, Carol responded: “And I found a frock to wear at night time – it was like something they now wear in Strictly Come Dancing. It was entirely mesh with sequins in the right places.

So I performed It’s Raining Men on the stage while having something that was probably inappropriate for a bride.

Four years after her divorce, Carol and Patrick King, a management consultant, wed. Before splitting in 2000, the couple welcomed their second child, Katie and Cameron.

After splitting with Des, Carol and Des began a five-year romance. Before reuniting for a while, the couple ultimately decided to end their relationship.

Carol is “freer” with “special friends.”

Carol has revealed that she feels more comfortable keeping special friendships than engaging in a monogamous union.

During a 2022 appearance on This Morning, Carol explained: “Our mothers told us that we should marry when we were still 18 or 19 or 20, so we grew up with that convention that you should find one partner for life. My view is not quite like that.”

She continued, “I live my life in chapters, and you have said this chapter since I was about 50. So, I’ve lived a much more libere life for the past ten or so.

Carol’s separation from two of her “special friends” was confirmed last year.

She stated to The Times, “Life has moved on.” It is impulsive. Although there is no ownership, it functions.

Pete Wicks’ “weird crush”

Former TOWIE star Pete Wicks, who co-hosts the Pride of Britain red carpet with his mate Sam Thompson, has previously labelled Carol as his “weird crush”. On his Staying Relevant podcast, Pete cheekily said: “Carol let me know when you’re free.

I’m anxious to meet with you so we can talk math, drink tequila, and have a delicious breakfast prepared by yours truly!

I didn’t know who he was then, but he’s lovely, Carol exclaimed to Heat magazine.
