Following a historically significant few years, television personality Georgia Harrison and her partner Jack Stacey reveal pregnancy is their “beautiful surprise.” She has plans to alter the world.

Georgia Harrison turned 30 on December 1st. After a traumatic but literately history-making few years, it marked both a new decade and a new chapter for the star.

Two years after championing a change in the law governing explicit content online, Georgia is now settled with new partner Jack Stacey and positively glowing, as she chats excitedly in our exclusive OK! a photo shoot of her and Jack about having their first child.

One could forgive Georgia for wanting to slow down after a tireless campaign that resulted in a change in the law governing revenge porn, but they and Jack, 33, would not change a thing about their “beautiful surprise.”

“We both definitely wanted children, but we didn’t quite plan on it this soon, we might’ve tried to have a fun summer beforehand”! Georgia chuckles profusely. However, once we’d taken it in, we realized this was the right time.

” It’s amazing to have the gift of being pregnant. For some, that dream never comes true because so many people endure long periods of struggle. We consider this as a blessing because it arrived earlier than anticipated.

Preparing to welcome a little one into the world has also given Georgia even more drive to change that world for the better, she reveals. “I initially thought of my little sisters and brother when I was campaigning – hoping to make things different for them. Now, I have this whole new drive – I want the world to be a better place because I’m bringing my own child into it.”

Georgia admits to entering the relationship with City Worker Jack after meeting him on a dating app last summer. Doubtful of her chances of meeting Mr. Right, but determined to put herself out there and meet him.

Are you aware that if you don’t attend the interview, you won’t be hired? “she grins”. I was considering, “I’m almost 30 and I really want to make an effort to meet someone.” However, I had a lot of pessimism about love in general.

“It took me a while to really believe that someone could treat me so well, but Jack did. We are currently living together and expecting a child! I do think that the experiences I’ve had in the past should have led me to where I am today.

Having first appeared on TOWIE over a decade ago, followed by Love Island in 2017, Georgia is very much part of the reality TV generation of celebrities. That said, she’s undeniably embarked on a very different journey since.

She bravely pleaded not to be identified and testified against a former partner who publicly exposed their intimate photos on an adult content site without her knowledge three years ago. Now, she’s largely credited as the driving force behind a government decision to make revenge porn a criminal offence.

In 2023, Georgia was included in the BBC’s list of the world’s 100 most inspiring and influential women, alongside human rights lawyer Amal Clooney and former US First Lady Michelle Obama, and fronted two critically acclaimed ITV documentaries earlier this year on deepfakes and image-based sexual abuse. She’s rightly very proud of her achievements, and so is Jack.

He says, “She really motivates me.” “She’s so strong, and so resilient, and funny. I’ve honestly loved spending every minute with her, right away, and she’s a really easy person to get along with. You are aware of the excitement when you first date someone at age 17? It’s like that”.

Jack, a property worker, acknowledged that he was aware of the person he was meeting for a first date in a Hackney pub in August but wasn’t familiar with all of her TV work, so he approached their date completely unapologetically. Georgia makes up the joke that “luckily he hadn’t watched any of my previous shows” or “he might not have arrived to meet me.”

Georgia’s first inkling that she might be pregnant, she says, was when her breasts became sore, and on one occasion spent almost an entire day at their flat, “cleaning and crying”.

She confesses, “I was just feeling very, very emotional, that way you do before your period,but I knew it wasn’t rational. I started to wonder if I was pregnant, but I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it in case I wasn’t.

“I got some pregnancy tests while Jack was at work and when I saw it said ‘Pregnant’ I felt excited straightaway – shocked, but so excited!”

Georgia smiles when she recalls wanting to tell Jack the news in person – but having to then wait for seven hours (while going understandably” stir crazy “) for him to return from work”. When I broke the news, he asked, “Where did you get the tests from? “. He wasn’t sure whether or not to trust them because he was so shocked, I believe!

Despite his reservations about the accuracy of the tests, however, Jack admits he couldn’t have been happier”. He beams, “he beams,” and it was overwhelming. Georgia and I both had a lot of pride in common.

Georgia’s younger siblings and her mum Nicola were next to find out, along with Jack’s parents Joanne and Jon. Reece, Jack’s best friend, was also very high on the list, having just recently become a father himself.

Nicola’s reaction to her daughter’s big news was incredibly emotional because she had seen Georgia go through so much both publicly and privately in recent years. “My mother has watched me go through everything,” my mother said.

Georgia says, looking emotional”. She has always assured me that everything will go well, that I would meet someone, and that my happy ending would follow. She is so relieved to see me at this point. She’s always said that when you’re a parent, you’re only as happy as your unhappiest child, so this is an amazing, positive stage in her life, too. “

Understandably, the couple wanted to keep their news under wraps at the beginning – but when you have best friends like eagle-eyed Olivia Attwood around, that’s easier said than done, Georgia tells us.

Olivia knew I had my boobs done, she assured me. I just had to say that, ‘ No, I’ve just put on weight recently’. She yelled when we did say to her and our two closest friends, “I knew it, I knew those t**s weren’t normal!” ” “

Reactions from their inner circle have all been very positive, but the couple are aware that the speed of their relationship might raise a few eyebrows from those who don’t know them”. However, you become aware that “Georgia says, grinning at Jack,” Although it’s cringey, we definitely feel that way. Anyone who knows us knows how strong we are, and how happy we make each other. “

The couple is expecting in early November, and Georgia’s mother, Nicola, is also expecting, but they insist that they are not scared of a few sleepless nights and diaper changes.

After leaving sixth form, Jack’s parents moved to the Isle of Wight, where he continued to study in his mid-20s. He continued to study in the evenings for a degree while working as a full-time apprentice.

It’s amazing that he did it, Georgia says proudly, “Returning to school later isn’t easy, but it’s amazing that he did it.” I was probably passed out in a bush in Ibiza somewhere, at that point in my life! “

And the star doesn’t want to “jinx herself”, she says, but she’s had a fairly easy first trimester aside from the odd bout of sickness – and is especially grateful that she can power ahead with her ambitions of becoming the next TOWIE star-turned-multimillionaire business owner, à la Sam Faiers, especially after Georgia has recently launched her own beauty empire starting with her lash serum called Twenty One Beauty.

She calls it “she’s such a female boss, smashing it,” Georgia says. “I’d love to follow that path.” There’s still a lot I want to do, and I don’t think having children has to stop you. Look at Sam and Stacey Dooley’s documentaries, they’re both mothers and doing amazing things.

There won’t be a big gender reveal, but Georgia and Jack are on the same page. Spoiler alert, there won’t be one. Everyone’s second guessing, which is fun, but we just want to experience it as a total surprise, “Jack explains”. We only want a happy baby, happy family, and a happy, fun, and thriving community of friends and children.

Georgia’s past experiences, while heartbreakingly difficult, were the catalyst for a change that will have an impact on generations to come, including her own child. Is there a certain anxiety about the world they’re bringing their baby into, despite everything she’s been through?

” I’m really hoping there’ll be more safety measures coming in, especially online, “she says”. Yes, there are some things that bother me, like the deep fakes used in advertisements. I’m not going to get too worried because I also know there will be some new issues that we won’t even be aware of yet.

“All we’re thinking about now is breast pumps, cots and how this baby’s going to enter the world via my vagina! The rest will be addressed later.

The newly wed couple are excited about starting a family of three, with a bucket list of things to tick off (including Jack’s request to visit the Imperial War Museum, which, Georgia jokes, isn’t exactly her ideal date night) and a few yoga classes as well.

“We want to keep enjoying our relationship, and this pregnancy,” she beams. “I might be like Rihanna when we get further along and I’ve got a big bump, you know. She always wore little outfits with her bump out, I love that. I’m going to be properly proud of mine, posting it on Instagram and really enjoying it. So, good luck with that, Jack!”

We were astonished to see Labubu toys become Olivia Attwood’s swank summer accessory, and bag charms were the trend we didn’t anticipate.

Every fashion lover knows that your accessories can make or break your outfit, but it seems like now even our accessories have accessories, as bag charms become the must-have summer trend. However the whimsical trend hasn’t stopped there, as they’ve taken on an even more youthful look thanks to the viral Labubu toys which have been spotted dangingling from designer bags around the world.

Olivia Attwood has become the most recent celebrity to accessorise her handbag with one of the dolls, showing off her powder blue Labubu bag charm on Instagram. Fans were quick to comment on the new accessory, writing: “Labubu mum gone wild” and “All i see now is Labubus”.

This linen co-ord is “a must-have for the heat wave – I’ve worn it everywhere, from the office to the drinks.”

A quick search on Amazon led us to this UNIHYGGE Labubu Plush Keychain, which is available for a very affordable £17.17, even though Liv didn’t disclose where she purchased her charm. There are still copies of the charm Liv was wearing in pale blue, as well as in green, pink, black, and brown colors, all of which are identical.

That means you can copy Liv’s style without breaking the bank, and you can also get one to coordinate the handbag you’re wearing it with, just like Liv did with her pale blue handbag. A snap-open ring at the top of each Labubu Plush keychain enables easy hanging from belt loops, keys, or bag.

They have an extra 3 cm of hanging space, which makes for some enjoyable movement, and measure 17 cm from the tip of the ears to the toes. However, everyone from Dua Lipa to Blackpink and White Lotus star Lisa has been seen accessorizing with the Labubu Plush Keychain, including Liv, who isn’t the only one who has done so.

However, other cuddly bag charms are popular, such as the coveted Labubu Plush Keychain. Additionally, Jellycat has created its own version that allows you to purchase a bag charm-sized version of some of its enduring toys. Urban Outfitters, which sells a mini Miffy bag charm for £10, has also jumped on the trend.

More than three years on from the deadly on-set shooting of celebrated cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, Alec Baldwin’s Rust is now finally available to watch, while the tragedy continues to overshadow the release

Alec Baldwin’s long-awaited Western epic Rust is finally being released, three and a half years after tragedy rocked the set.

Set in the 1880s, Rust stars Baldwin as Harland Rust, an outlaw who helps his 13-year-old grandson Lucas (Patrick Scott McDermott) flee to Mexico after he accidentally kills a rancher. Sadly, life imitated art in the most shocking way after Baldwin accidentally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins using a prop gun, causing her death.

Director Joel Souza was also injured during the horror incident, which occurred during a rehearsal at a New Mexico ranch on October 21, 2021, with the bullet becoming lodged in his shoulder.

Ukrainian-born Halyna was just 42 years old when she died, leaving behind her husband, Matthew Hutchins and their young son, Andros Hutchins. Her death sent shockwaves throughout the film community, and production of Rust was shut down in the aftermath, as Santa Fe County sheriff’s deputies and New Mexico’s occupational safety agents took over Bonanza Creek Ranch, the original filming location.

The investigation continued for more than a year, during which three people faced criminal charges: Baldwin, armourer Hannah Gutierrez, and assistant director David Halls, who had presided over on-set safety.

Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter in 2022, meaning he was accused of causing another person’s death through careless actions. However, these charges were ultimately scrapped three days into Baldwin’s trial in July 2024, after his defence attorneys raised questions over how the evidence had been handled by New Mexico law enforcement officers and prosecutors.

The multi-Oscar nominee also faced a civil lawsuit from Halyna’s family, and in March 2023, he and the film producers agreed to a financial settlement with the family. Baldwin, 67, faced criticism for not checking the prop gun before using it, raising conversations about the importance of safety on film sets. The Golden Globe-winning actor denied any intentional wrongdoing, asserting that he hadn’t pulled the trigger and that the gun had been fired accidentally.

In January of this year, Baldwin filed a malicious prosecution civil lawsuit against New Mexico prosecutors and law enforcement, alleging that defendants had been “blinded by their desire to convict Alec Baldwin for all the wrong reasons, and at any cost”. The lawsuit continues: “Defendants sought at every turn to scapegoat Baldwin for the acts and omissions of others, regardless of the evidence or the law.”

Back in March 2024, Gutierrez was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. As reported by The Los Angeles Times, Gutierrez has served almost 14 months in prison, and it’s expected she will be released later this month. Meanwhile, Halls, who pleaded no contest to a single count of negligent use of a deadly weapon, gave testimony during Gutierrez’s trial, and has since left the film business altogether.

Production resumed in Montana approximately 18 months after Halyna’s death, with filmmakers explaining that they wanted to complete the movie as a tribute to the gifted cinematographer. Discussing this decision with NPR last autumn, director Souza admitted: “It was a really tough decision, and I’ll be very honest — I was a wreck through most of the second go-round.”

He continued: “Obviously, the human cost and the tragedy of it overshadows everything, rightfully so, and is so much more important than any movie. I guess I just wonder if people will sort of see past that and engage with it as a film, or if it will be a thing where people just can’t ever separate the movie from what happened during its filming.”

After the film premiered at the Camerimage Film Festival in Poland back in November, Halyna’s mother, Olga Solovey, issued the following statement: “Alec Baldwin continues to increase my pain with his refusal to apologise to me and his refusal to take responsibility for her death.”

Proceeds from the film will go towards the settlement of a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Halyna’s widower, Matthew, who became an executive producer of the film, and son Andros, who was just nine years old at the time of his mother’s death.

Cinematographer Bianca Cline took over from Halyna as director of photography, with Souza telling The Guardian that he’d insisted on a woman filling the position. He explained: “The agencies throw male candidates at you, but I know there are a lot of women coming out of the American Film Institute. Then somebody told me, ‘Women can’t shoot westerns.’ And I thought, ‘F*** you. I’m going to stick that up your a** and only look at women’.”

There were also a number of significant case changes, with actors Jensen Ackles and Swen Temmel no longer appearing in the finished feature. Rust is now available to stream via Apple, Amazon, and other video-on-demand platforms, and it will also be played at select cinemas across the US. A UK release date has not yet been given.

In their reality series The Baldwins, which premiered back in February, Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria, spoke of the “survivor’s guilt” her husband had been left with in the aftermath of the tragedy. Addressing the cameras, Hilaria told viewers: “I found these text messages the other day, between us, you know, the day after. And you know, he said he wanted to kill himself.” She continued: “He has survivor’s guilt. You’re involved in this thing that nobody could even possibly imagine. And so it goes back to that day. He wishes it were him. He would change places in a second. This has affected his health and his mental health tremendously.

“The past few years, all of a sudden, he started having heart problems. He’s been hospitalised multiple times. He’s fainted… everybody’s just screaming, I’m going, I’m on top, and I’m shaking him. It’s hard sometimes. But hopefully we’re in the hardest, but tail end of it.”

The Baldwins was made as Baldwin prepared for his involuntary manslaughter trial. The second episode followed Alec and Hilaria as they faced his upcoming court date, with Baldwin opening up about how his mental health had declined to the point where he felt unable to

Baldwin shared: “There was a period all this last year where I’d lay in bed and I’d think I don’t want to get out of bed. I’d think to myself, my children are downstairs having breakfast.”

Crediting Hilaria with being his rock throughout this dark period, he added: “The last year was the year in which I think that they noticed I was really, really down. But the person who saved me was my wife because she got up. There were times she didn’t want to either, but she did, that’s the difference.”

The family also pledged to fight the state’s efforts to stop predators from escaping justice in Virginia and for a new version of the law. They vowed to “take on her mission with all of our hearts and souls”

The 41-year-old who was tragically found dead at her home on April 25 has been given the go-ahead by Virginia Giuffre’s family, who has revealed plans to build a sweet memorial in her honor.

Virginia, who alleged that paedophile Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her for sex at the age of 16, made headlines after accusing Prince Andrew, now 65, of sexually abusing her while she was a teenager. He has repeatedly denied the claims and, in 2022, paid Virginia an undisclosed sum in an out-of-court settlement. It’s been reported that the agreement did not admit liability.

It was announced last week that Virginia, who was living in Australia after relocating from the US, had died aged 41. Her family said that she had taken her own life.

Amanda Roberts, sister-in-law of Virginia Giuffre, has now launched a GoFundMe page and shared thee family plans to create a public memorial for Virginia.

The fundraiser, which was created on Friday , May 2, shows the following message: “First and foremost, thank you for the outpouring of love and support for our beloved Virginia. We know Virginia was not just a bright light to us but to many. The lives she touched, the strength, and the fight she has given us will live with us always.

We are aware that this will make us stronger, which Virginia would have desired, despite the fact that our family and many of us are grieving unfathomably. We believe that finding a way to leave her legacy is essential. Through her fight and testimony, Virginia was able to amass settlements, but unfortunately, as many of you may be aware, funds and estates can take years to settle due to this tragedy. Her family in America is dedicated to preserving and honoring her spirit despite her estate being settled in Australia.

“It is our intention with this fund that we create a public memorial not just for family but for survivors and supporters from all over to visit and share space with Virginia. She deserves to have a permanent mark in this world that demonstrates her lasting impact.”

The family also pledged to fight the state’s efforts to stop predators from escaping justice in Virginia and for a new version of the law. They vowed to “take on her mission with all of our hearts and souls”.

A handwritten letter penned shortly before her death, declaring that her “voice will not be silenced” was recently shared by online by Amanda. The letter reads: “Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers need to show the battle lines are drawn, and stand together to fight for the future of victims.” She added: “Is protesting the answer? I don’t know. But we’ve got to start somewhere.”

The fundraiser has, at the time of publication, raised $680 from five generous donations. You can donate by clicking here.
