Louise Redknapp was a ‘super proud’ mum as she boasted about her son Beau’s GCSE results. Hundreds of thousands of students received their GCSE results on Thursday morning, with more than a fifth (21.9%) of students who got their results being awarded a grade 7 (an A).
Eternal singer Louise, 50, was one of the many parental figures paying tribute to their children. She took to her Instagram page to share a picture of her with her son. Both smiled for the cameras as Beau, who she shares with ex-husband Jamie Redknapp, wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
“Super proud of you Beau, you smashed your GCSEs!” “!, she wrote. “Good luck to all the students who are getting their results today!” expressing a lot of love.

Taking to Instagram last month, the Light of My Life singer shared a carousel of content about her son. She uploaded photos of her son from the days he was a baby through to his time now as a young man.
She featured in some of the images herself – with the cover image showing her and Charley smiling as they posed side-by-side together.
The final slide showed Louise and family members raising a glass to cheers Charley – who towered over most of them. She wrote in an accompanying caption: “How did this happen?! my baby is 21 years old today!! !
” Chaz I am so proud of you and the charming young man you have become, you’ve been my partner in crime and shadow since day one and nothing makes me happier than seeing you living your best life.
“You have an incredible future ahead of you keep on working hard and absolutely smashing it. I would however like to request that you now at the age of 21 learn how to wash up, turn the lights off and pick your clothes up off the bedroom floor… but maybe we’ll get there for next year”.
And she concluded: “Happy Birthday Charley, Have the most amazing day! We love you so much. Love Mum”.

Victoria Beckham, the fashion designer and mother of four, is renowned for her svelte figure and radiant complexion. However, the 50-year-old doesn’t maintain her stunning looks alone – she attributes much of her appearance to her disciplined dietary habits and adherence to the Mediterranean diet.
In a 2019 interview with The Telegraph, the former Spice Girls star revealed that she consumes three or four avocados daily to enhance her skin’s glow. Victoria Beckham typically enjoys avocados for breakfast, either smashed on bread or blended into a green smoothie.
Avocados are a staple in the Mediterranean diet, which is favoured by numerous other celebrities. Penélope Cruz has previously spoken about following the Mediterranean diet, which mirrors the food she eats in Spain. Cameron Diaz referenced the diet in her books The Body Book and The Longevity Book. Meanwhile, John Goodman shed 200 pounds by adhering to the diet.
Avocados are packed with natural fatty acids that play a pivotal role in skin rejuvenation. These fatty acids are nutrient-dense, helping your skin retain its smooth and youthful appearance for longer. Avocados are also an excellent source of vitamin E, which can help minimise visible signs of ageing. They also contain vitamin A, crucial for effective cell repair.
Avocados are also packed with biotin, a member of the B vitamin family. When applied to the skin, biotin can help fight dryness and is known to keep hair and nails strong and less likely to become brittle. Avocados contain vitamin E, fibre and monounsaturated fats, too. Vitamins C’s antioxidants protect cells from damage.

What does research show?
A 2011 study discovered that avocados contain compounds that could potentially protect the skin from sun damage and inflammation. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause wrinkles and other signs of ageing and increase the risk of skin cancer.
In 2010, a separate study involving over 700 women explored the impact of consuming healthy fats and antioxidant micronutrients on skin health. The results suggested that a higher intake of fats, especially healthy monounsaturated fats like those found in avocados, was associated with improved skin elasticity and less visible wrinkles.
Other studies have shown that consuming avocados may help to protect overall wellbeing. The conclusion of one 2013 study reads: “Avocados contain a very low sugar content with only about 0.2 g sugar per one-half fruit. There are eight preliminary avocado cardiovascular health clinical studies that have consistently demonstrated positive heart healthy effects on blood lipids profiles. The consumption of avocados with salads or salsa increases the bioavailability of carotenoids multi-fold, which may add to the potential health benefits.”

While Victoria reportedly consumes three to four avocados daily, most nutritionists would consider this excessive, particularly given the amount of fat involved. Other ways to incorporate healthy fats into your diet include drizzling extra virgin olive oil over a salad or nibbling on nuts.
Before making any significant changes to your diet or lifestyle, it’s always wise to have a chat with your GP. As with any dietary plan, it’s best to seek advice from a healthcare professional who can ensure the plan fits your personal needs and guide you through any required modifications.
What exactly is the Mediterranean diet?
The Mediterranean diet emphasises plant-based foods and healthy fats. It promotes a diet abundant in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Extra virgin olive oil is the main source of fat in this diet, which could potentially lower your risk of heart disease and other chronic health conditions. Foods in the Mediterranean diet include:
A wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables is a cornerstone of the diet.
Whole wheat bread, brown rice, quinoa, and other whole grains are preferred.
Beans, lentils, and chickpeas are excellent sources of plant-based protein.
A variety of nuts and seeds are included for healthy fats and nutrients.
Extra virgin olive oil is the primary source of fat.
Fish, especially fatty fish rich in omega-3s like salmon and sardines, are encouraged.
Low-fat dairy products like yoghurt and cheese are included in moderation.
Chicken and other poultry are often included in place of red meat.
Red wine is often consumed in moderation with meals.
What do experts say?
Lily Keeling, Senior Recipe Development Manager and Registered Nutritionist at Green Chef UK, says avocados are a good source of dietary fibre. She adds: “Fibre is great for the digestive system by contributing to a healthy functioning gut, and monounsaturated fats help maintain healthy cholesterol by lowering LDL cholesterol and raising HDL cholesterol, in turn reducing your risk of heart disease. Incorporating avocados into a balanced diet is a great way of getting these nutrients in.”
Speaking to Superdrug Online Doctor, British GP Dr Hana Patel said: “The Mediterranean diet has long been celebrated as one of the healthiest eating patterns in the world. Its popularity dates back to the 1970s, when American physiologist Ancel Keys observed that people living in regions like Greece and Southern Italy had strikingly low rates of heart disease and cholesterol compared to those in the West.
“Since then, decades of research have confirmed that this way of eating can protect the heart, reduce the risk of chronic disease, and promote longevity. At its core, the Mediterranean diet champions plant-based foods—fresh vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and wholegrains—flavoured with herbs and spices rather than excess salt.
“It also focuses on healthy fats, especially from extra-virgin olive oil and avocados, which provide anti-inflammatory benefits, while lean proteins, particularly fish and seafood, are favoured over red meat. What makes this diet especially appealing today is not just its impact on heart health, but also its effect on the skin.
“Packed with antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols, alongside omega-3 fatty acids, the Mediterranean diet has been linked to enhanced skin hydration, improved elasticity, and even a slower rate of visible ageing—explaining why so many A-listers, including Victoria Beckham, have embraced it in recent years.”

Professor Franklin Joseph, medical director at Dr Frank’s Weight Loss Clinic, said: “Victoria Beckham embracing the Mediterranean diet is one of the best decisions she could make for her long-term health. It’s one of the most evidence-based eating patterns in the world – shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and even Alzheimer’s.

A bearded man was sitting outside a cafe when a Google Street View user was casually scrolling through Paris’ streets. Although this is not a typical sight in the French capital, he had a familiar quality.
The eagle-eyed user is persuaded that Post Malone, a normal guy, is actually the head of global megastar Post Malone, who runs his business like everyone else. Enter the rapper-turned-country singer’s name into Street View to see for yourself.
Fans of the top-shelf 30-year-old, who are enthralled by the image, have hailed the person who made the discovery. The one who discovered this is more powerful than Einstein himself, a joker said.
Another stated, “This is real! I just discovered it! You must enter the restaurant’s “corner”!
Some claim that it is Post Malone, or at least a person who appears to be very similar to him, and that the encounter is “hilarious” at best. That’s actually so hilarious, they wrote.

Google Street View is a feature of Google Maps and Google Earth that provides interactive, panoramic photographs of streets and locations around the world.
With Street View, you can virtually “walk” down streets, rotate 360 degrees, and walk through some of the city’s landmarks, parks, and other interior locations as though you were there in person.
To capture all the images, it uses special cameras mounted on backpacks, cameras mounted on cars, or other equipment to capture roads from all angles.
You can really fall into a rabbit hole if you start looking through it because it covers millions of miles of roads in many nations and continues to expand.

Rami Hawash and Gemma Collins are making an enormous announcement as they prepare to give their own child a special update while going through the IVF procedure.
Gemma Collins, a TV star, has shared a significant IVF update.
Gemma Collins has secured her own TV show deal with Sky and has promised to show “the Gemma behind the GC” as she tries to start a family while getting married.
Gemma Collins: Four Weddings and a Baby is her first attempt at a more serious fly-on-the-wall series and Sky say it will show the “woman behind the persona”.
Gemma, 44, will spend the next year juggling her blended family, planning the wedding she’s always dreamed of, and hopefully having her own much-sought child through IVF. Gemma will follow her behind the scenes of her day-to-day life for the eighth episode of the eight-part series.
With the birth of their first child, Gemma Collins and Rami are expecting their first child.
For the first time in years, people will see the Gemma behind the GC, said Gemma Collins, “This really is the most important year of my life.” I’ll start planning my wedding and getting ready to start a family over the course of the year.
“I’ve always felt natural in front of the cameras, but now I want to let the world see the real, raw me, sharing the most intimate and personal times in my life. I feel ready to truly open up, not just about the present, but about my past and everything I’ve been through to become the woman I am today.

For everyone to join me in this brand-new phase of my life, I feel incredibly blessed and excited. After being told by her astrologer that the year was ideal for getting married, Gemma has declared that she and her 50-year-old fiance Rami Hawash will get married in 2026.
The TV star has confirmed to viewers that Gemma will appear on her program.
She has also spoken in 2024 about terminating a pregnancy when she was younger as she was told the baby was intersex. Intersex is an umbrella term for people born with anatomy or chromosomes that do not fit with the traditional conceptions of male or female.
Rami has a six-year-old son Tristan from a previous relationship and Gemma is stepmom to him. Gemma previously worked a lot with ITV and came to prominence on TOWIE but has since had her own BBC podcast and fronted a Channel 4 documentary. Gemma Collins: Four Weddings and a Baby, which is a working title, will be released in 2026.
Gemma revealed how she used Manjaro injections to lose weight earlier this year and pledged to be open about how she would manage to lose weight.
Speaking to the Mirror in March she said: “I want to be open with everything I do in my life. There’s no point in lying to the people who love me and that’s the public. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the public. I just always want to be transparent.

The weight is slowly losing with those injections, the doctor says. I grew from a size 26 to a 20 now. She said, “I want to have a baby in a separate interview in the same month. I firmly believe that I’ll become pregnant once my weight increases.
“That’s my hope,” I said. I sincerely believe I will have twins because I want a baby.
