Emmerdale actress Amy Walsh and her EastEnders husband Toby-Alexander Smith are expecting their second child together and they took to Instagram to share the exciting news

Emmerdale actress Amy Walsh and her EastEnders husband Toby-Alexander Smith are expecting their second child. The pair revealed the exciting news on social media, sharing they were set to become a family of four.

The pair are already proud parents to daughter Bonnie, who was born in 2022, but they are now set to add another little one to their family. Revealing the news, they wrote: “Smith/Walsh baby 2.0 incoming 2026.”

Fans rushed to congratulate them on their news, with EastEnders star Clair Norris – who played Bernie Taylor – penned: “Sweetest video! Congratulations to you all!” Emmerdale actress Michelle Hardwick wrote: “So exciting!”

The couple are best known for their soap roles, with Amy playing Tracy Robinson in the ITV soap whilst Toby played EastEnders villain and serial killer Gray Atkins until his exit from the soap after the character was jailed.

Speaking recently, Amy admitted she found it hard to balance time with her family and her work. She explained: “It’s just a juggle, a struggle sometimes … I’ve barely seen him since we got married.

“We do feel like newlyweds, we haven’t been together that long in the grand scheme of things so our relationship is still quite new and fresh but then you throw a toddler in the mix and work commitments and it’s crazy.”

Amy and Toby got together in 2020 after meeting in the audience at Strictly Come Dancing a year before. Speaking about how becoming a parent changed them, Toby told OK! magazine: “We’ve always been a really good team anyway and I think Bonnie coming along has shown that we’re meant to be parents together, because we’re finding our roles.”

The pair’s love story kicked off in the audience at Strictly, which Amy described as a “twist of fate”.

She said: “The twists of fate that came into play to make us meet are crazy. Jamie Laing was supposed to be in it that year but he broke his ankle so Kelvin Fletcher replaced him, and Toby wasn’t even supposed to be in the audience that week.

“It only came out when we spoke to each other and we put two and two together and were like, ‘So you do that and I do that.’ We didn’t even say the words Emmerdale or EastEnders. After the show someone sent me a screenshot of us in the audience and I sent it to my best friend and joked, ‘Me and my future husband,’ just thinking it was going to be a date.”

Stacey Solomon is concerned that she is heading into an early menopause after experiencing a range of symptoms so has ruled out more kids if that is the case

Stacey Solomon is concerned that she is heading into an early menopause. The former Loose Women star, 35, is well over a decade away from the average age in which the reproductive stage for a woman ends, but can’t help but worry that it is coming sooner than normal after noticing just how ‘tired’ and ‘snappy’ she has been.

The TV star, who is married to ex-EastEnders actor Joe Swash and has Rex, five, Rose, three, and two-year-old Belle with him but also has Leighton, 13, and 17-year-old Zachary from previous relationships, has returned to screens alongside her husband with their BBC reality show Stacey & Joe, and on Tuesday’s episode, she had a candid chat with her sister Jemma.

As they spoke, Stacey reminded her sister that early menopause could potentially run in the family. She said: “I think I’m going through the menopause, I’m perimenopausal, I’m so snappy and tired. I wake up tired, I have eight hours’ sleep and I wake up and I’m exhausted. On mum’s side the menopause came early so we’re likely to go through it early too.”

Jemma, 36, who has three children herself, then joked to Stacey: “You’ve got to remember you have 18 children, 17 dogs, 45 chickens, you work full-time, you have a busy life.”

Stacey, who shot to fame as a contestant on The X Factor in her late teens and has since carved out a major career as a television personality, then ruled out the idea of having any more children if indeed she is heading for the menopause at this stage in life.

She said: “If you could test tolerance mine would be at its all time low. If I am going through the menopause and that’s it, no more children for me, then I think I will open an animal sanctuary.”

Later on, Stacey was joined by Joe, who also has Harry, 18, with his ex Emma Sophocleous, where she opened up to her personal physiologist Dr Olly, and told him: “I feel like I’m drying out. I think my ovaries are pruned and they have said goodbye.

“All my friends on Loose Women talk about it all the time. Some things I can’t relate to. But I do think that as I get older I do get more agitated.”

Later on, she told the camera: “My health anxiety started when I had Zach. I think when you have kids you start to recognise your own mortality. Meeting Olly and having that friend that can go down the rabbit hole with you has really helped.”

Women generally enter the menopause between 44 and 53 years old, and symptoms can include anxiety and depression as well as irregular periods, hot flashes and mood swings.

Even though Stacey has seemingly quashed the idea of having another child, insiders recently claimed to The Mirror that it wouldn’t be a ‘surprise’ to anyone if another little one arrived.

The source said: “They’ve both got so much love to give and Joe is the best, most hands-on dad. They would have another baby if the time was right, but their lives are so busy. They’ve talked about Joe having a vasectomy but even then they’ve joked about it being reversible. No one would be surprised if a number seven came along!”

The film about David Bowie, who died aged 69 in 2016, is expected to shed light on the music legend’s raunchy private life during his swift rise to fame in the 1970s

Hollywood bosses are embroiled in a bidding war over a biopic of David Bowie, it is reported.

The film is likely to lift the lid on the music legend’s private life during his rise to fame in the 1970s, a period during which Bowie had several top ten hits in the UK. Movie studios have expressed interest in taking up the option to turn the autobiography of Suzi Ronson, wife of Bowie’s right-hand man Mick Ronson, into a film, and so it has been auctioned for a deal.

The stylist helped create the singer’s famous Ziggy Stardust look, Bowie’s stage persona during 1972 and 1973. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars became Bowie’s second most popular album in terms of record sales.

“The book has now been auctioned to be made into a major motion picture. It hasn’t been bought but we are hoping it will be soon and it will be a great movie about the Ziggy Stardust days and his rise to fame,” Suzi said.

Her book, Me And Mr Jones: My Life With David Bowie And The Spiders From Mars, was published last year. In it, the hairdresser refers to one-night stand with Bowie which happened while he was still married to his first wife Angie.

Speaking to The Sun, Suzi added: “The bedroom at his home was pink with a gold ceiling. Everybody thought he was so gay. I was curious about him. I think Angie set me up… David called me and said: ‘Why don’t you come over and do my hair?’ So I went up to London, had a great meal and he kind of seduced me.”

No further details about the big-budget film have been disclosed, and are unlikely to be until a contract is secured amid the Hollywood auction. It will therefore be released at least ten years after Bowie’s death, following an 18-month journey with cancer. The music superstar was 69 when he passed away in New York City on January 10, 2016.

Bowie’s own secret last project was discovered locked in his study by archivists – and it was a musical about the 18th century. Called The Spectator, its entire existence was unknown to even his closest friends but now the notes have now been donated to the V&A Museum, with the rest of Bowie’s archive.

Amid his ongoing feud with parents David and Victoria, Brooklyn Beckham is planning to open up a “Beck’s Buns” burger joint in the US – and it should open early next year

Brooklyn Beckham is set to a new burger business with the support of wife Nicola Peltz and her billionaire family, it is reported.

The chef’s company reportedly owns the trademark for “Beck’s Buns” and, having quietly revealed the branding for the burger bar last month, it is said he is now pushing to open the business within the next six months.

This is despite criticism in August for cooking videos shared online, including one in which Brooklyn, 26, served up a spaghetti carbonara for Nicola. Celebrity chef Aldo Zilli said Brooklyn “burned the bacon” in the Italian classic, also typically made with pasta, eggs, cheese and other ingredients.

But resilient Brooklyn has remained defiant and it is understood he is being backed in the new venture by Nicola’s family, including her billionaire businessman father Nelson. A source said: “It’s been something Brooklyn has always wanted to do. He has the full support of Nicola and her family, including her businessman dad Nelson, and is excited about the future.”g

Brooklyn tinkered with the application of his trademark after a row with the beer brand Beck’s. It is now understood he has overcome this challenge and his dream is becoming closer to reality.

The insider told The Sun: “He has created Beck’s Buns and quietly launched it on social media last month. Brooklyn’s company Buster Hot Sauce Inc owns the trademark and he is planning to open a restaurant.

“The issue with the trademark is all-but resolved now after Brooklyn made it clear that he wasn’t making booze but wanted it for a restaurant. The menu is still being decided but it’ll be high quality burgers with his signature Buster hot sauces.”

The exciting move comes amid Brooklyn’s ongoing feud with parents David and Victoria. Sources say he is now keen to move on and focus on his life with Nicola, 30.

However, Brooklyn has had various career pursuits in recent years. He has previously tried his hand at modelling, acting and photography. It is said the star even had dreams of following in dad David’s footsteps as a professional footballer but failed to make the grade.

Katie Price, also known as Jordan, has been open with the media that her youngest children, Jett, 12, and Bunny, 11, haven’t lived with her for some years after her row with their dad, Kieran Hayler

Katie Price is “thrilled” to set to finally reunite with her youngest children, it is said.

Jordan has not been living with Jett, 12, and 11-year-old Bunny for several years following her fallout with their dad, Kieran Hayler, to whom she was married for eight years. After these children went to live with their father, a fitness trainer, Katie’s older kids have also moved out to pursue lives as young adults.

It reportedly left the 47-year-old star “down in the dumps,” but now Jett and Bunny are returning to live with their mum full-time in November, it is understood. Jordan’s recent house move is believed to be part of her plan so that the children can be nearer to their father and their friends.

A source close to Katie said: “They went to Kieran after he and Katie fell out. It was all a bit of a tricky time for the whole family, but now Katie is going to have them back with her again and she couldn’t be happier.”

None of Katie’s five children live with her currently as Harvey, 23, is in a care home to help with his disabilities, and Junior, 20, and Princess, her two children with Peter Andre, live their own lives as they grow into adults. Katie was even left off the guest list for Princess’ 18th birthday party in the summer.

But sources say Katie, the media personality, is “thrilled” at the reunion with Jett and Bunny. Speaking to Mail Online, the insider continued: “Her recent move is just perfect timing for when they go back to her in November. Katie moved quite a way from Kieran when she left her Mucky Mansion, but now she’s back nearer to where Bunny and Jett live so it has all worked out really well for her.”

In August 2022, the two youngest children had gone to live with Kieran, 38, and Katie had limited access to them after she breached her restraining order against his fiancée, Michelle Penticost.

Katie avoided a prison sentence despite sending abusive messages to the woman. The former glamour model instead was handed an 18-month community order at Lewes Crown Court, which ordered her to carry out 170 hours of unpaid work.

During their height of their fame in the 1990s, Oasis played to sell-out crowds of 250,000 over two nights in the grounds of the Grade II Knebworth House in Hertfordshire

Oasis will mark the 30th anniversary of their legendary 1996 gigs at Knebworth with five shows at that venue next summer.

Liam and Noel Gallagher’s concerts at the Hertfordshire venue epitomised the Britpop era as Oasis played to sell-out crowds of 250,000 over two nights there in August 1996. The brothers now have tentative dates at Knebworth for 2026 following their successful world tour, it is understood.

Music industry sources claimed the Gallaghers generated up to £1.2billion with their world tour. The Knebworth anniversary concerts could produce an additional £100million, it is thought. One insider said: “Talk about the chance to cash in. After all these years of insisting they won’t get back together, now Liam and Noel have got these dates on hold, they have pencilled in five days for the gigs.

“It’s all very exciting for fans. Back in 1996, it was so special. It was the pinnacle of Britpop so Oasis returning to Knebworth would just be perfect for the fans.”

More than two per cent of the UK population applied for tickets when Oasis played at Knebworth in 1996, two gigs which sold out in less than 24 hours. Oasis played the likes of Don’t Look Back In Anger and Some Might Say, among other hits, at the two gigs.

And these tunes, among more recent ones such as All Around the World and Go Let it Out, are expected to feature in the five performances back at Knebworth 30 years on next summer.

The insider told Mail Online: “The plan is for five concerts in what will be a music extravaganza. First the fans got a reunion tour. Now it looks like that they will be able to relive those two performances at Knebworth.”

In 2022, Liam returned to the Hertfordshire venue for two concerts, a year after a documentary film about the 1996 Knebworth concerts was released in cinemas.

Noel, 58, and Liam, 52, are currently performing in the US. At the weekend, they played two sold-out gigs at the 90,000- seat Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California, to an excited audience which included Sir Paul McCartney, Rita Ora and actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

These gigs come amid speculation Oasis may be now ready to record their first studio album for 17 years. The band’s official photographer Kevin Cummins, 72, said the signs for an album were promising, with Noel writing songs on tour and Liam’s combative “frontman ego” taking a backseat.
