She reiterated how fortunate she felt to have survived the ordeal, despite being in severe pain. The crash also forced her to cancel a dream trip to Hawaii for her 41st birthday on 30 June.

“To think we was flying to Hawaii for my bday and now I’m bed bound ‘cause I can’t walk or anything,” she said. “Just in agony. Yes, I’m lucky to be alive but this pain feels like I’m dying.”

In another video shared with her followers, the reality star showed a nurse tenderly brushing her hair, “Bless my nurse brushing my hair out. I can’t really use my arms atm. I’m so weak.” as she is currently too weak to use her arms. Despite the setback, she reassured her fans that she would be “home soon”.

Charley became one of Big Brother’s most talked-about housemates thanks to her fiery clashes with Chanelle Hayes while in the Big Brother House together in 2007.

She was memorably evicted in week eight – only to discover it was a hoax, with Davina McCall offering her the chance to re-enter after revealing who’d nominated her.

She reveals the highs and lows of parenting on Instagram, not holding back on the demanding nature of raising children. She describes their time since welcoming the new addition as both incredibly joyous yet “overwhelming.”

In an emotional post, she penned: “The first six weeks of Poppy. The last few weeks have been a real rollercoaster but overwhelmingly, very happy indeed.

“There has been [very] little sleep, quite a few tears and even a dash to hospital. Some days it’s a struggle to even get dressed in the morning, given Pop wants to be held all the time.

“In these pics I look vaguely presentable but most days I’m rocking the mum bun, have huge dark circles under my eyes and am wearing clothes covered in baby vomit.

“BUT here are some of the highlights – introducing Pop to friends and family, celebrating birthdays and even taking her to Warwick for my university reunion. Now all four kids are home for summer, the real chaos begins!”

“Mastitis (me), reflux (her), dehydration (me). What a pair we are!,” she continued. She expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and valuable advice on handling reflux, saying: “Really appreciate it and made me feel way less alone going through it all. And as ever, thanks to our amazing NHS.”

Her candid revelation about the past six weeks’ struggles prompted an influx of supportive messages. The post quickly garnered over 9,000 likes.

One individual commented: “You’re doing a good job, Carrie. Be proud of yourself mama.” Another penned: “Poppy doesn’t care. She knows she’s loved.”

A third chimed in with: “Beautiful photos with your words of reality. Keep being you. Grateful you share your lovely family with kindness and the reality.”

And a fourth added their voice, saying: “You have a beautiful family Carrie. Cherish these days because before you know it they will be stroppy teenagers.”

Oasis’ Bonehead reveals truth behind nickname after parents’ utterly brutal decision

Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs is a legend on Oasis, but not everyone understands why he is called that. In this article, he explains everything.

Oasis’ much-anticipated tour kicks off on Friday(Image: Getty Images)

It is the great nickname in Oasis – but the reason why guitarist Paul Arthurs is called Bonehead goes back to his childhood.

The 60-year-old owes his moniker to his parents and their hatred of long hair, before he was playing gigs with Noel and Liam Gallagher.

Taking up the story in the Oasis book Supersonic, Paul said: “I probably got the name Bonehead when I was eight.

I didn’t have long hair in 1973, which was the traditional style at the time, but most people in my primary school did. They have no long hair in our house, and it was straight down the barbers every Friday, you know, typical Irish Catholic parents.

They gave me the 50 pence, and I had to go down. Describe it. Your short back and sides, please? ‘.

On our street, there is no longer any hair. So I shortened myself from eight years old. Some kids say, “Ah, look at the bonehead! “, you know. ‘. That was it.

“When I entered secondary school, even the teachers called me Bonehead, and even when they were enraged, Bonehead, it wasn’t “Arthur’s.” You first became aware of your problems at that point. Bonehead was the surname you were given when you first learned it, and it has always been so.

The guitarist acknowledged that he had experimented with the name a little since he had been in Oasis and when they were getting big and doing interviews because of the straightforward nature of the nickname Bonehead.

He continued, “When we became very well-known, we used to conduct interviews in France, and people want to know why I was called Bonehead.” I used to constantly remind them that my family history had been preserved. The Bonehead was short for me, and my real name is Bonaparte Headimas. People adored it.

Noel and Liam Gallagher and Bonehead have remained close friends throughout their ups and downs, which is unusual for a member of the Oasis inner circle. Although the Gallaghers adore Manchester City, Bonehead is a red, and even that makes them uneasy.

Some insiders found him to be a “glue” that will keep this tour together in the event of conflicts.

When Bonehead was preparing for rehearsals, he has been sharing photos of his selection of Adidas trainers every day on social media. He has also been trying the welsh teacakes since arriving in Cardiff before the first night when he has been brewing in his spare time away from the stage.

After playing with Liam on his Definitely Maybe solo tour in 2024, Bonehead will be playing with them on the Oasis Live 25 tour. Andy will join Gem Archer and Andy Bell on bass for the massive sold-out shows.

Additionally, Christian Madden, the band’s keyboard player, and Joey Waronker, the band’s drummer, have added a new woman, Jess Greenfield, as their backing singer.

Sam Thompson had made a very telling decision following his recent setbacks in his love life. The former Made in Chelsea star, 32, has suffered double heartbreak this year following his splits from Zara McDermott and Samie Elishi.

He had enjoyed a five-year long romance with Love Island’s Zara as they even set up home together next door to his sister Louise Thompson in their beloved Chelsea. Things came crashing down over the new year, which came as a shock to fans.

Zara has swiftly moved on with One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, while a ‘blindsided’ Sam also appeared ready to get back into the dating pool. He embarked on a romance with another Love Island star, Samie.

They were seen locking lips in the street just a few weeks ago, yet last month called it quits with a source telling us: “They both have busy lives, it just didn’t work out.” Hours after the breakup, Sam was spotted back on celebrity dating app Raya.

However, it appears Sam hasn’t been able to connect with the app’s many famous faces. He has made the decision to remain single for a while before embarking on a romantic relationship.

Speaking on his Staying Relevant podcast, Sam said: “I’m going to work on myself. No dating, I’m not ready and I’ve realised that.” His sister Louise has already shared her wishes for his next partner as they need to be “classy” or “well to do”.

The former Made In Chelsea star shared: “Louise thinks I should go out with Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in Harry Potter.” However, best mate Pete Wicks joked: “I think you have more chance with the ginger fella.”

Ron added: “Ron! No, Louise believes I should choose a British thespian because she believes it is “a little different, classy, but well done.”

In earlier this year, he and Samie made friends during Love Island’s Aftersun episode. The pair were spotted embracing in a close-knit embrace outside Olivia Attwood’s birthday party in May at Bacchanalia in Mayfair.

As his fans quietly snagged their hands to announce the potential of a new romance, Sam cupped Samie’s face in his hands and appeared unaware of onlookers. On the Chloe Mediumship podcast, Samie discussed her exes and remained optimistic about the relationship.

She claimed that she had a “gut feeling” about things that “weren’t meant to be,” and that her relationship was “all good at the moment.” It’s still early days.

Before his setback, Sam also wanted to date and declared to Pete that he was “ready to go out there.” He previously stated, “I feel like I’m at a point where I can start approaching women.”

He continued, “I feel good because the world is currently very nice.” And I’m content, too. No more brave faces are visible, indicating Pete’s confident that Sam is ready to date! ‘. “
