Full House star Dave Coulier announces incredible family news amid cancer battle

Full House star Dave Coulier has revealed that he has become a grandfather after his son Luc, 34, who he shares with his first wife Jayne Modean, welcomed a baby boy with his wife Alex. The couple welcomed the baby boy on March 27 and Dave revealed the happy news during a recent interview.

It comes after The Real Ghostbuster actor, who played Joey Gladstone on the ABC sitcom, revealed he was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. In a new interview, Dave shared an update on his family and announced his son welcomed a baby bay, adding “we’re so excited”.

Speaking to Parade, he said: “My son and his wife live in California, so we’ll be making multiple trips to see that little boy”. He also thanked his grandson for helping him keep a positive outlook on life.

“I don’t know how else to view this other than with a positive attitude, especially because I’m in a position where I can inspire others. A negative attitude doesn’t inspire anybody. Positivity, though, can take you a long way”.

In November, Dave made the shock cancer announcement announcement during a live appearance on the USA’s Today show. The 65-year-old shared he only found out about his diagnosis five weeks before after finding a ‘ golf ball size ‘ lump in his groin area, which he initially thought was down to a cold.

The lump grew in a matter of days and doctors did further tests on him before they discovered he had stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

In the weeks before he made the announcement, he underwent three operations and has been undergoing chemotherapy.

Sharing his secret health battle, Dave admitted: “It’s been a rollercoaster ride for sure”. Describing the moment doctors told him he had cancer as a ‘ gut punch’, he said doctors told him they had “biopsied it, took it out, and said, ‘ we wish we had better news for you but you have B cell lymphoma, we need to get you into chemotherapy right away. ‘”

The situation occurred so quickly, Dave said his wife Melissa didn’t believe he had cancer at first. He added: “Once that settled in, that was a gut punch. But there was still another hurdle, we had to find out what the staging was so they went into my bone marrow and we got good news that day that it had not spread”.

Luckily this means the cancer Dave has is more than 90 percent treatable and he hopes to be in remission by next year, following his treatment. His second round of chemo is due to take place in February, so he will await further test results after that.

Before the first round of chemotherapy, Dave explained how he’d shaved his head and joked he looked like a ‘ baby bird’.

“I fit better in my hockey helmet now, I’m more aerodynamic on the ice”, he said. Despite his diagnosis, Dave is still “really, really busy with life stuff” and is “treating this as a journey”.

Stacey Solomon admits camera crew kept interrupting rows with Joe Swash while filming new show

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have revealed how they avoided arguments while filming their new reality series, Stacey &amp, Joe, which follows the couple at Pickle Cottage

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have shared their secret to avoiding arguments in their new documentary. The couple are set to launch their own fly-on-the-wall reality series, which premieres tomorrow. Opening the doors of Pickle Cottage, the show offers a glimpse into their lives as they juggle parenting six children while staying in the public eye. But with cameras rolling around the clock, Stacey and Joe have found an unexpected way to sidestep minor squabbles.

The couple appeared on The One Show today, where they discussed their unique tactic. Host Alex Jones asked if they were ever aware of the cameras constantly being around and whether there were days they felt conscious of them.

She questioned: “Were there days when you thought, ‘ Oh man, oh no, they’re outside – here we go'”?

Stacey responded: “I’ll be honest, they’ve become our friends. It was lovely, it was a bit of extra company. Because we’re a busy household—we’re seven just us—and obviously my sister’s always over, Joe’s family are always over”.

Speaking about the cameras constantly being on, Stacey added: “You don’t notice, to the point where we’d start having a little domestic about something and then suddenly remember”, as she gestured, implying she would signal the camera crew to come over.

Joe then joked: “Quick, quick, let’s try to turn this around”. Stacey quipped: “We’ll be like, ‘ Oh, they can hear us, they’re watching. ‘”

Joe went on to explain that they wanted the documentary to feel as real as possible: “We decided when we were gonna do this, it was going to be warts and all. It wasn’t just going to show the glamorous side, it was going to be the ups and downs”.

Stacey chimed in, teasing the show: “In fact, we make it pretty clear there isn’t much of a glamorous side”!

The show, called Stacey & Joe, features five of the couple’s children as well as Stacey’s sister, Gemma, dogs, Peanut and Teddy – as well as ducks, Daisy and Delilah. However, there are two members of the family who don’t make an appearance – Stacey’s mum and Joe’s son, Harry, who he shares with Emma Sophocleous.

Opening up about the experience of filming The Kardashians-style show, Stacey said she’d really enjoyed it, telling House Beautiful: “I mean, it’s been a bit weird – we’re the kind of family who are always popping down to the supermarket together, but obviously, when you’re doing that with a crew, it’s very different.

” It’s been a lot of fun to watch back, it’s just like watching home videos. In truth, I did worry we’d be a bit boring, but seeing it, I was like: ‘ Oh my gosh, we’re actually quite funny. ‘ I would watch us! “

Cheryl Tweedy ‘on high alert’ amid fears killer stalker could be released in ‘weeks’

Cheryl Tweedy is believed to be on high alert after her stalker Daniel Bannister was jailed earlier this month but the singer now reportedly fears that he could be released earlier

Cheryl Tweedy is believed to be on high alert following fears that her stalker could be released from jail earlier than expected. Earlier this month, Daniel Bannister, 50, was jailed for 16 weeks for breaching a restraining order. A court heard that Cheryl, 41, had been left terrified after the convicted killer continued to stalk her – despite a restraining order against him.

During a hearing on March 14 at Wycombe Magistrates Court, a court heard how Bannister had repeatedly turned up at Cheryl’s home, despite having previously been jailed for four months. The Girls Aloud singer was left terrified after convicted killer Bannister “displaying fixated, obsessive, unwanted and repetitive behaviour” towards the Let You songstress.

The 50-year-old of no fixed address was previously given a three year restraining order which prohibited him from contacting Ms Tweedy, entering Buckinghamshire where she resides and attending her address. However, in December, he returned to the home she shares with her young son, Bear, who she shared with the late Liam Payne.

He was charged with breaching the restraining order, having entered Buckinghamshire on December 10. He turned up at “an address where you knew or believed Cheryl Tweedy was present”, which constitutes another breach of his order. Bannister was charged with harassment – breach of restraining order on conviction, harassment – breach of restraining order on conviction and attempt to breach a restraining order after conviction.

He turned up at Cheryl’s property in January 2024 and said over the intercom he had arrived as he had “come to get Cheryl”. During a separate incident, he said he was “really thirsty” and wanted a “glass of wine”. Now, sources claim that the singer has been left fearing that Bannister could be released early which has turned her life into a “real life horror show”.

“It’s hard not to feel for her. I mean, can you believe she’s living in constant fear that Bannister might just show up at her doorstep just a few weeks after being sent to jail”? a source told Radar Online. They went on to add: “He could walk free very soon now, and that’s sending her into pure panic mode”.

The Government website states that the release of a prisoner is dependent on the length of their sentence, their behaviour in prison and any time spent on remand. It also states that a prisoner may be eligible for release halfway through their sentence.

Cheryl told police that she “immediately panicked” when she spotted Bannister outside of her home. At the time, she told police: “I knew this was Daniel because I have had previous incidents where Daniel has come to my property. I was concerned he was looking for a way into the property”.

The singer told the police that her young son had been out with a friend and was due home any minute – but she didn’t want him to see Bannister. “I want to protect my child from any harm”, she said. Prior to the hearing earlier this month, Bannister was remanded in custody after pleading guilty to three separate offences.

In 2012, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter at Kingston Crown Court after assaulting Rajendra Patel, at a south London YMCA homeless shelter. After an attack in February of the same year, Mr Patel returned to hospital on March 9. He tragically died just one day later.

His cause of death was ruled as a fracture to his left ankle, pulmonary thromboembolism and deep vein thrombosis of the left femoral vein. Bannister, who at the time was 37, had been due to go on trial for the murder of Mr Patel – but the CPS lowered the charge to manslaughter.

It’s believed that the two individuals who had been living at the homeless shelter had been in a long-term feud with one another when the attack took place. CCTV footage was shown, of Bannister kicking and punching his victim as he attempted to go towards a lift.

Speaking in 2012, His Honour Judge Nicholas Price said as he jailed Bannister: “This is a tragic case. When you attacked Mr Patel you did not intend to cause serious bodily harm let alone cause death. But the attack undoubtedly goes beyond one punch, it is a sustained attack or more or less 30 to 40 seconds. It is clear you are not a danger to the public, but it is inevitable that you must serve an immediate custodial sentence”.

The Mirror has approached the Ministry of Justice and a spokesperson for Cheryl for comment.

The breakup between Sam, 32, and Zara, 28, who had been together since 2019, has been a topic of much discussion. Despite the split, Sam has maintained a positive outlook, sharing motivational messages with his followers. He recently posted a video declaring, “New year! 2025 baby, come on, let’s have it! I can’t wait. The new year is going to be amazing, and you’re going to have the best year ever.”

Zara, on the other hand, has been linked to former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson. Reports suggest that the two have been on several low-key dates, including a romantic getaway at a hotel in Aldeburgh, Suffolk. An insider noted, “Louis has been a complete gentleman and has wined and dined Zara, treating her to a trip away.”

Sam recently admitted that he is lonely following his split from fellow reality TV star Zara McDermott. The 32-year-old opened up to his friends Joe Marler and Pete Wicks on the Staying Relevant podcast, which he co-hosts with the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant.

Discussing Joe’s potential vasectomy and the impact of four children on his life, Sam suddenly said: “I’m just lonely”. He added that he would “love four kids” before Pete, 37, jumped in and said his friend had had a “glow up” but “didn’t know what to do with himself”.

In the months following Sam and Zara’s split in December 2024, there has been a microscopic focus on how both individuals are doing, with rumours swirling about Sam’s mental health and Zara’s dating life.

With regard to the former, Sam recently opened up on his podcast about how he had been coping, especially at events where both he and Zara were present. So low did Sam sound that fans reached out to express their support for him.

According to The Sun, fans not only supported Sam but praised Pete for being there for him. One said: “Oh Sam!!! You looked and sounded so sad!!! I really feel for you my lovely, you are such a wonderful human and normally keep everyone so upbeat, but this was so sad to see, I really wanted to give you a big hug!!”

Sam has also received support from former JLS member Marvin Humes who reportedly took him out to support him. Sam explained: “He wanted to check in with me and make sure I was ok because he knew everything had been a bit s*** recently. He took the time on a Monday evening to take the time away from his wife and kids to spend time with me, I almost shed a tear.”

Jamie O’Hara’s fiancée shows off six-figure engagement ring as eye-watering price revealed

Jamie O’Hara proposed to Keziah Grubb while on an idyllic holiday, and an expert says that his ring of choice could only have sealed the deal with a diamond worth thousands

Jamie O’Hara revealed that he got engaged yesterday and it seems he didn’t hold back on the ring. The star proposed to new fiancée Keziah Grubb while on a romantic getaway, and their private pool wasn’t the only thing making a splash.

The former footballer shared several photos of the milestone moment on his Instagram, including two close-up shots of Keziah’s sparkling engagement ring. The ring shone on recruitment boss Keziah’s hand, featuring an unbelievably huge diamond set on a thin band encrusted with smaller stones. Maxwell Stone, an expert from jewellers Steven Stone, has weighed in on the gorgeous piece of bling and revealed to the Mirror exactly what went into making it – alongside estimating its jaw-dropping price.

According to the expert, the size of Keziah’s diamond is nothing to laugh at. “Keziah’s stunning engagement ring from Jamie features a breathtaking 4-carat oval-cut diamond”, he said.

Maxwell added: “In photos of the ring, the centre diamond is flanked by smaller oval-cut stones on either side, suggesting it may have diamond-set shoulders. Alternatively, rather than opting for a traditional pavé band, Jamie may have chosen an elegant design featuring a series of interlinked oval-cut diamonds”.

Such a heavy diamond and several smaller glittering stones don’t come cheap, and Maxwell also estimated the value of the stunning jewellery. “I’d estimate Keziah’s ring to be worth around £200, 000”, he revealed.

While £200,000 is quite an investment to make on a piece of jewellery, former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie looked over the moon as Keziah said ‘yes’ and put the ring on her finger.

The duo were on holiday when he popped the question, providing a beautiful setting for the life-changing moment. In photos Jamie shared, he and Keziah were captured standing on a balcony overlooking a gorgeous sunset, with mountains visible over the rooftops in the background.

Jamie wore a white top and beige chinos, while Keziah showed off her tan in a chic white skirt as the couple shared a kiss. He added more snaps from the balcony, revealing a small private pool, candles, and more glasses sitting beside a bottle of champagne.

The TalkSport star also penned a moving caption alongside the shots, mentioning his beloved mother Anne who died from cancer aged just 46 when Jamie was only 17.

“SHE SAID YES!!!! So lucky to have found you and my mum would be so proud of us”, he wrote alongside a heart emoji. “@keziah_adrienne you are my everything”.

Prior to his engagement to Keziah, Jamie was married to former Miss England star Danielle Lloyd. The duo share sons Archie, 14, Harry, 13, and George, 11, and tied the knot in 2012.

Just a couple of years after getting married Danielle called time on the relationship, after learning that Jamie had been unfaithful to her.
