This Morning star hits rock bottom as she fears being a ‘bad mum’

When she gave birth to daughter Ruby in June 2024, Ian Welby became the first woman to do so. She has been open about the ups and downs ever since.

A This Morning star has opened up about hitting rock bottom and “really struggling” as a parent. Sian Welby is best known for being a staple on the ITV show.

She has been honest with her fans about recently struggling to balance her work and being a mum. She explained to her followers that her Instagram page isn’t a realistic representation of her life as she tends to just document her work commitments on there.

Ruby was born in 2024 to the mother-of-one, and she has since given her followers an understanding of how she has come to terms with motherhood.

On Monday night, the 39-year-old posted an emotional video to her social media accounts. Jake Beckett, who is frequently seen out and about with, is the mother of her daughter.

Sian tends to post her most exciting jobs on her Instagram page which includes appearing on This Morning and hosting Capital Breakfast. However, she said that it is “really hard” to be a mum and also have a successful career.

Sian said that she frequently finds herself trying to “survive the day” and wonders if she is a “bad mum” as she tries to balance her work and personal lives.

She stated in the video that she had a “really tough few weeks of parenting” and wanted to show her fans how to raise their children while working full-time.

Hello, Just a quick one from me because I’ve got a lot of DMs asking, “Oh Sian, how are you doing it?” and I’m starting to feel bad about it. The red carpet, celebrities, and other such things.

My Instagram looks so glossy and showbiz, but I’m afraid that it reflects something that’s not in real life. On the contrary, some days I’m completely rock bottom, cold in a corner, wondering how I’m going to survive the following day, wondering how I’m going to get to work, and I just don’t want to add more pressure on my parents.

I literally use my Instagram to show you all of my professional work, almost like a CV but I’m not showing you the full picture. “I don’t want my timeline to look like something you should be trying to achieve.

I’m not showing you the 48 hours of no sleep, the A&amp, E trips, the missed work commitments, the choice to work or to take childcare, “Am I a good mother, I’m a bad mother, what am I doing? “

She continued, “You know, I’m feeling this all the time and I’m torn and I’m struggling and I’m not getting it right every time,” and there are times when I’m hanging by a thread.

Sian continued, “every person’s situation is unique, and her social media accounts for the most positive aspects of her life and work.

She continued, “I’m just saying this so you know what you see on Instagram is obviously not like the full story and isn’t possible. I’m not saying this to get any kind of pity.”

“I really don’t think what you’re doing isn’t enough, or that I’m somehow I’ve got the parenting cheats because I’m just about surviving,” he said. “Some days I’m just about surviving, and there’s days when I genuinely think how am I going to do it and I think we all just do it,” and when you’re in it you just do it because that’s all you can do.

Everyone’s situation is unique, everyone has commitments they are bound to make, and you must make them consistently.

Sian concluded the video by saying, “But you know I’ve had a really tough few weeks of parenting, and maybe that’s not been reflected on here or on the radio, but I just wanted to be real with you all and it has been really hard. “

Sian gave birth to Ruby via an emergency C-section in June of that year, and Sian then went back to work hosting This Morning.

Josie Gibson reveals 5 stone weight loss in skintight outfit after jab denial

Josie Gibson, a star on This Morning and Big Brother, has lost 5st without having surgery or having surgery to show off her new, skin-tight figure.

Josie Gibson stunned in a recent video from her holiday abroad, showing off her new figure after losing five stone – without the help of weight loss jabs.

The This Morning presenter has traded in dropping temperatures for the Antigua sunshine, as she sailed off to the Caribbean for a winter break. While enjoying the heat, she posted a video to Instagram in which she could be seen walking around the island in a skintight black jumpsuit.

By highlighting her slim waist, the strappy one-piece was made of a stretchy material that made the straps. She finished the look off with a cross-body bag and sunglasses, which she looked incredible.

She was seen savoring a fresh banana in a video. Josie has demonstrated that she has lost weight without taking any medications, so eating well has been a key part of her weight loss.

She posted a picture of herself on Instagram earlier this year to explain her weight loss. She stated in a post that she had “got off my big a**e, moved more, ate less, and educated myself on what I was putting into my body.”

Josie continued, adding that she had been a part of MuscleFood’s 12-week fitness and food program Do the Unthinkable Plan. The program provides meals to your home and a workout schedule to help people lose weight naturally.

Josie adheres to the MuscleFood diet for six days per week, but she acknowledged that she once had a “cheat day.” However, she continued, “I don’t go crazy on my day off.”

“I had one cheat meal on that one day off.” I didn’t go crazy and consume ten bottles of wine, binge eating everything I wasn’t eating, and indulge in all the bad things I had. Just one cheat, I believe, was it?

She told fans that one day off isn’t the end of the world and doesn’t “undo all your hard work”, so anyone trying to lose weight should “have your one cheat meal and enjoy it”.

Josie, who first found fame when she competed on and won Big Brother in 2010, has been vocal about not wanting to use weight loss jabs. She previously said: “It wouldn’t be for me, only because I don’t want to mess around with my body, I like everything natural, I always go down the natural route.”

He will also look inward as share how his view on masculinity changed after becoming a father.

In what is sure to be a touching moment, he will also discuss the death of his brother. Nick Starmer died aged 60 on 26 December 2024, after battling cancer.

In a statement, the Prime Minister said: “My brother Nick was a wonderful man. He met all the challenges life threw at him with courage and good humour. We will miss him very much.”

Nick had been in at a hospital in Leeds, and his brother thanked those who contributed to his care. “I would like to thank all those who treated and took care of Nick. Their skill and compassion is very much appreciated.”

The Prime Minister has also spoken about masculinity recently. After the Netflix drama Adolescence was released in March, he said the storyline, which looks at the effects of misogynistic ‘red pill’ social media content on teenage boys, was “a torch that shines intensely brightly on a combination of issues that many people don’t know how to respond to”.

He announced that the series would be made freely available to screen in secondary schools. “It’s a cultural issue, and therefore we’re going to have to look more broadly, work as a society on this, and discuss it.

“Which is why I’m really pleased that Adolescence is now going to be shown in schools free because I do think young people should be watching it.”

Adam Peaty’s mum reignites Ramsay feud with fresh dig about ‘respect’

Adam Peaty’s mum Caroline has ‘liked’ an emotional comment as the row continues to rage between her and her Olympian son, ahead of his marriage to Holly Ramsay

Adam Peaty’s mum, Caroline, has fuelled the flames of the bitter feud with her son Adam after liking a brutal comment on her Instagram. Over the past few weeks, the GB star has fallen out with his family so badly that he has uninvited them from his wedding with Holly Ramsay next month.

The Olympian and Strictly star will walk down the aisle with chef Gordon Ramsay’s daughter this Christmas, but only his sister will be in attendance. The bitter feud became public knowledge last week when Peaty’s mum was uninvited from Holly’s plush hen do at Soho Farmhouse, but tensions have reportedly been simmering since the couple got engaged last September.

As the row continues to rage, Caroline has liked a series of comments on Instagram, which indicate that the rift isn’t close to being healed. Caroline uploaded a post which said: “I feel everything too deeply. And sometimes, I wish I didn’t. I care until it hurts, forgive before I should, and carry guilt for storms I didn’t cause. I overthink every silence, apologise for taking up space, and love people who never look back.

“I lose sleep replaying moments, wondering if I said too much, or if I wasn’t enough. And deep down, I fear I’ll always love harder than I’ll ever be loved back.”

Underneath, she liked a comment which said: “I like respect and it’s a foreign word for some of those I happen to be in contact with so I tend to ride on the crest of a wave and stay there, which means I try to avoid all of the depths of life. Don’t get me wrong, I’m nice but to a point.”

She also liked another, which commented: “Stay strong and always be there for your son. Your love is unconditional, he knows that x.” But others were divided, with one poster writing: “It’s none of my business but if what I’m reading online is correct then you’re taking the wrong route. Airing your dirty laundry in public (no matter how much you are hurting) will never end well for you. Remain dignified, let him make his mistake, and be there when it goes wrong, because it definitely will.”

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Caroline, 59, told the paper: “‘I know it’s the end. But please, the message I want Adam to hear is no matter what happens in the future, please know I love you, your dad loves you, you can come home and talk to me at any point.

“There’s nothing you’ve done that I would not forgive. I love you so much. I hope your marriage is a good one, I don’t wish any ill on you and I want you and Holly to have a long and happy marriage, like your dad and me. The reason I’m speaking out is I want all this to end.”

She added: “He’s in Gordon’s clutches. I can’t help but feel like they are pulling him away from me. Their family is very insular.” The row erupted after Caroline wasn’t invited to Holly’s hen-do at exclusive Soho Farmhouse, in Oxfordshire, which was attended by her mum Tana, Victoria Beckham, her sisters Megan and Tilly, as well as Adam’s sister Bethany. Instead, she stayed at home looking after Adam’s son George, five, the little boy he had with his previous partner, artist Eirianedd Munro.

After Holly shared photos on social media, Caroline’s sister Louise Williams, took to Instagram to air her grievance. Her post stated: “@hollyramsayy I’m so glad that you had a great hen do. As a bride, you deserve that. However, as a person you were divisive and hurtful towards a woman who I have loved and continue to love deeply.” It ended: “You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever.”

Tensions reportedly started to simmer after extended members of the Peaty family weren’t invited to the engagement party. Caroline sent a text to Holly, adding: “I told her, ‘You know how important family is to you, as it is to me. My sisters are not coming to the party, they have been there all through Adam’s life…’.

She added: “But Adam didn’t take kindly to me sending that message.” Tensions then increased and Adam Peaty’s dad Mark didn’t attend the stag after Caroline was univited from the wedding.

She had clashed with Adam over her outfit choice as she wanted to wear a cream outfit to the big day. He had offered to pay for four outfits to wear across the day, but rejected that specific choice, saying that only Holly should wear white.

The relationship became even more inflamed after Adam Peaty was met by five police officers at the airport after returning from his stag do, reportedly because of fears he might be assaulted.

It is alleged he had been receiving threatening messages from his brother, builder James, 34, who was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of harassment and questioned by police for two days before being released on conditional bail.

A source close to Adam and Holly said: “This feud is heartbreaking from both sides. But the reality is Adam sees his mum, Caroline, to be enabling his brother’s actions rather than pushing him to deal with his demons.”

Piers Morgan opens up on ‘unbelievably painful’ loss after sudden health issue

ITV’s former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan revealed what the sudden death of a close friend taught him, following his 60th birthday earlier this year

Former Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan has opened up about a devastating loss that has changed his outlook on life. Last November, the 60-year-old said goodbye to one of his closest friends, Miles, who died 15 months after being diagnosed with brain cancer.

Reflecting on his milestone birthday earlier this year, Piers said Miles’ death made him realise “that you only get one go at this”.

“One of my best mates suddenly out of nowhere got brain cancer aged 57 and died within 15 months,” he shared in a new interview with Best Magazine. “He was a brilliant guy, and I’d known him since I was 12 years old.

“We played cricket together for 20 years, and it was unbelievably painful and sad, but he never complained.

“He had the worst thing you could possibly have – incurable brain cancer and he never once issued any sense of self-pity,” he added.

“The worst I ever heard him say was, ‘It’s not great’. He had incredible spirit. It reminded me that you only get one go at this, and you never know what curveball is round the corner.”

Piers paid tribute shortly after his friend’s death, posting a heartfelt message on Instagram.

Alongside his lengthy caption, he shared multiple photos of the pair together and reflected on their decades of memories – from school days and cricket matches to being ushers at each other’s weddings and travelling the world.

“He was one of the funniest, kindest, most popular people imaginable, beloved by his family and friends,” he added.

“For his many friends, we will all miss him so much. He was the greatest mate you could ever wish to have. RIP Caldy,” Piers concluded.

Speaking previously about turning 60, Piers admitted he “may have calmed down a bit” with age.

“You mellow also with experience and wisdom, and also with the fact that I now own my own business, I’m my own boss, I’m not answerable to anybody else,” he claimed. “I think that brings with it a certain calmness.”

In an interview with Saga Magazine, the father-of-four also said he is taking “more care of myself than I did 30 years ago”.

He explained: “I watch what I eat and exercise more – I’ve even taken up boxing, and, no, it’s not because I keep getting into fights.

“The only person who ever landed a fist on me was Jeremy Clarkson at the 2004 Press Awards.”

Discussing the same incident in his chat with Best, Piers said the pair have since reconciled.

Davide Anica on life after MAFS UK and why he’s shunning brand deals

Davide Anica from Married At First Sight UK has been busy since the reality TV star’s appearance in the show’s first season.

After surviving the ups and downs of being exposed to the public’s scrutiny, securing a brand partnership is the ultimate reward for numerous reality TV stars.

However, Davide Anica, Married At First Sight UK’s breakout star, has other priorities that are far off his list, and he has made it clear to followers that he has no desire to start a fashion line or do anything similar.

“I wanted to make sure I used my platform above all, in the beginning, for good and for something that was bigger than me,” he shares in an exclusive interview with the Mirror.

“I didn’t want a collection or any of that,” I said in response to the brand deals, clothing brand deals, and other things.

The former cabin crew member captured the nation’s hearts on the E4 reality programme alongside his then-partner Keye Luke, with whom he now sports a matching otter tattoo commemorating one of their initial dates on the series. Whilst the couple have since separated, there’s no animosity between them, reports OK!

“It has been five months. He and I have both left our lives. He continues, “We’ve healed, I’ve healed, and I’m happy and well in my life.”

Davide’s first appearance on a newly-minted reality TV show has been confirmed today (November 18) with confirmation that he serves as a celebrity ambassador for EveryYouth, a youth homelessness charity. Given that Davide was only 19 years old when he first encountered rough sleeping in Paris, this is a topic that is particularly significant to him.

He left Portugal to pursue a career in dance after his father criticized him for being gay. After his wallet was stolen, he was homeless in the city and relying on canned tuna and baguettes. He was able to afford a room in a Starbucks 24-hour branch until he received his first pay packet.

He previously told EveryYouth that “some of me was actually ashamed that I was struggling and that I didn’t want to ask for help from my family because that would make them realize that I was never going to be anyone because I was gay.”

He continued to work as a dancer in musicals, including some of the West End, until a serious injury forced him to retrain as a cabin crew.

He has since said his final farewell to aviation, but he is making a new Despite making it clear that using his newfound fame for good, he is making a new journey after reality TV.

“I wanted to set it up first,” I said. He continues, “It was important for me because I was sharing my story and what I’ve been through.

“That’s exactly why I called my management, who then communicated with EveryYouth. They showed me what they do and what they do, and I wish I had known something like this back then when I was struggling with it.

“My job is done here if I can raise money or funds for this beautiful charity that is incredible and does such amazing work.”

The actor has made mention of several other projects he’s keeping secret for the moment, including hosting a celebrity sleepout to raise money for the charity. Through EveryYouth, he has already met young people in Surrey who are experiencing homelessness.

He reveals that his relationship with his father and his entire family has never been stronger despite their turbulent past.

He beams and says, “He’s so proud of me.” He says, “If it helps any family understand that sometimes it just takes a little while to understand, you’ve done us a lot of proud. ” Even while telling our story, he says. “

I didn’t anticipate how drastically my life changed. He confessed about his newfound fame, “I didn’t realize how much in the public eye I was going to be until I actually started being in the public eye.” For me, these are exciting times. I’m looking forward with anticipation.
