X Factor finalist Olly Murs and his wife Amelia are expecting their second baby later this year and have revealed how they plan to welcome their new baby into the world

Singer Olly Murs and his pregnant wife Amelia are busy planning to welcome a new baby into their growing family – revealing it feels like a “very different pregnancy” this time around.

The former X Factor star, 41, and Amelia, 32, tied the knot two years ago and already have their hands full with toddler Madison. Amelia experienced a difficult time while giving birth to Madison and faced a “brutal recovery”.

Aside from daddy duties, singer Olly has just wrapped up his latest tour and he continues to present his Heart FM weekend radio show alongside fellow M&S ambassador Mark Wright.

Ahead of becoming parents-of-two, the happy couple have become the new faces of The Parent Hood, M&S ’s club for mums and dads.

One of the fastest growing baby clubs in the UK, it is part of the high street chain’s loyalty scheme, Sparks, and encourages young parents to meet up in M&S cafés to swap experiences over a cuppa and free slice of cake.

Speaking about having an unplanned C-section with Madison during a chat to announce the new partnership, Amelia recalls: “We were planning a natural birth, but Madi was in a precarious position.

“She was transverse [sideways] so we didn’t have an option. The recovery was brutal and I wish people had been more honest about that. Maybe it’s because I’m active, but I didn’t realise how much I wouldn’t be able to do afterwards.”

Olly and Amelia have opted not to discover the sex of their second baby until they arrive. “It’s hard to tell, because I was convinced Madi was a boy. But I do think this one is a boy,” Amelia predicts.

“Obviously, that’d be cool, but I’m swaying more to thinking it’s a girl. I’d love that, I genuinely would,” Olly adds. “We’re reaching the point where we have to make decisions. But this feels like a different pregnancy.”

“We know that this baby’s not transverse, which is good,” Amelia states, as Olly gushes: “We’re very excited and announcing this thing with M&S has made it much more real. Two or three more weeks and we’re gonna be right back at it!”

Currently pregnant with another on the way, Amelia is currently riding a wave of emotions. “It changes week by week as I get closer to having the baby,” she admits.

“We can’t wait to meet who’s in there and see Madi with a sibling. But I get a bit overwhelmed when I think of having two under two.”

We can’t wait to meet the new baby Murs too!

If you struggle with dry, damaged hair then swapping your regular hairbrush for this £14 de-tangling one can help prevent breakage, keeping your hair shiny and healthy

If you’ve ever dyed, bleached, chemically treated or even just heat styled your hair, you’ll be familiar with how easily breakage can happen. The summer is also a notoriously tricky time for your hair, with sun exposure, heat and humidity all causing it to dry out, and that’s before you even consider the effects chlorine and salt water can have on it on holiday.

Whilst hydrating hair masks can help reverse some signs of breakage, it doesn’t fix the main root of the problem. If you do have dry or damaged hair, you’ll know that brushing it can be a major source of trouble for your locks, with the wrong brush actually ripping out knots and tangles, or causing too much friction on your delicate strands. That’s why we’ll be swapping our usual brush for Tangle Teezer’s The Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle, which promises to reduce breakage by 77%.

The Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle has been carefully engineered to be as gentle on your hair as it can possibly be, whilst still being effective and working out knots and tangles. It has two-tiered teeth – a patented design from Tangle Teezer – which help the brush to glide through your hair, untangling tats without pulling.

It’s also more concentrated at the centre of the brush with fewer teeth at the edge, which minimises tension. The result is hair that’s stronger, smoother and visibly healthier, all without needing to add a single step to your usual routine.

You can currently pick up the Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle at LookFantastic for £14, and it comes in a huge range of colours (not to mention a £10.50 mini version). It’s also racked up an impressive full five star rating from shoppers, with one happy customer wrote: “I absolutely love this hair brush!! It’s so gentle on the hair.”

Whilst another agreed: “bought this instead of replacing my original tangle teezer and it’s fantastic, its really helped me prevent further breakage on my colour damaged hair.”

Another review wrote: “Love the original detangler tangle teezer but this brush is definitely more gentle on the hair! These brushes are always worth the money.”

With no negative reviews so far, it seems it’s a solid bet that the Ultimate Detangler Extra Gentle is going to look after your locks, keeping them healthy and strong during the tricky summer weather. Elsewhere, we also love REHAB’s Vital Hair Brush (£16) which Stacey Solomon swears by for preventing breakage and damage to her own hair.

At Beauty Pie, the Super Healthy Hair Smoothing Paddle Brush is £29 (£17 if you’re a Beauty Pie member) and not only gently detangles hair, but helps boost shine and softness too. Made with boar bristles, it helps increase scalp circulation, smooth cuticles and gently tease out tangles and knots for a smooth, shiny finish.

Shoppers on social media love the bag, which is ‘easy to wear’ and ‘big enough for your essentials’

Primark is stocking a ‘statement’ bag that’s ‘easy to wear’ and ‘looks designer.’ Known for its affordable clothing and accessories, the retailer could have another hit on its hands with the £16 style.

The Mixed Metal Studded Tote wowed fashion influencer Miya Kalith during a recent trip to Primark. Posting on TikTok as @miyakalith, she showcased her favourite picks from the retailer’s new range, which included the studded tote. The bag comes in a trendy chocolate brown tone, perfect for autumn, and has studs that add a touch of glamour.

According to Primark, the style is designed to ‘add some sparkle to your everyday.’ The product description explains: “In a rich chocolate brown with a soft, suede-like finish, it’s covered in a mix of gold-tone and silver-tone studs for a statement look.

“The slouchy shape makes it easy to wear, while the wide single strap sits comfortably on your shoulder. Big enough for your essentials (and then some), it’s a go-to for days when you want style and practicality in one.”

Praising the bags to her 10,000 followers, @miyakalith wrote: “Primark bags are giving designers.” Her caption added: “All are under £20. Sorry but these are giving high vibes.”

The Mixed Metal Studded Tote also proved popular when it was showcased in another TikTok video by Olivia Brittany Grace, who posts online as @oliviabrittany. In her video, Olivia showcased the £16 bag alongside its smaller lookalike, an £11 Studded Rectangular Shoulder Bag.

The product description for the shoulder bag says: “Carry a touch of attitude with this chocolate brown rectangular shoulder bag crafted from soft faux suede. Its long, narrow shape is perfect for slipping under your arm or wearing with the adjustable shoulder strap.

“The front is decorated with a mix of gold and silver-toned studs in various sizes, adding texture and interest. A secure zip top closure keeps your essentials safe, while gold-toned hardware adds a polished finish. Stylish yet practical, this bag is ready to upgrade your everyday look with a subtle hint of sparkle.”

As seen in the video, the bags are studded on one side and plain on the other – a design feature that has impressed shoppers, who think it adds versatility. Reacting to the TikTok video, a fan praised: “1 bag, 2 styles! Bargain.”

Although it wasn’t showcased in either video, there’s also a £14 Studded Bowler Bag with the same eye-catching design. The product description for the bowler bag says: “Add a statement to your outfit with this brown bowler bag crafted from soft faux suede. Covered in mixed metal studs in various sizes, it brings a bold yet stylish touch.

Love Islander Maura Higgins and her I’m A Celebrity campmate Danny Jones stunned fans when they were spotted sharing a drunken kiss at a BRIT Awards afterparty earlier this year

I’m A Celebrity campmates Maura Higgins and Danny Jones could be facing an awkward encounter at this year’s National Television Awards, following their drunken kiss at a BRITs afterparty. Danny, 39, won the most recent series of ITV’s I’m A Celeb, and so will be showing up at the event – as will Maura.

The video, which saw the two share a kiss, resulted in a dicey time for Danny’s marriage to influencer and wife of 11 years, Georgia Horsley, 38. He has spent the year quietly attempting to repair their relationship after Georgia left the family home for a period of time to cool off.

Danny and Georgia share their six-year-old son Cooper, and seem to have patched things up after what could have been a marriage-ending indiscretion on Danny’s part. It comes after ITV makes major decision on I’m A Celebrity’s future after talks with officials.

While Danny attempted to win Georgia’s trust back, Maura herself kept a low profile for a short time. Their National Television Awards appearance will be a test for Georgia, although a source points out they all knew their “paths were bound to cross at some point.

Speaking to The Sun, they said: “Danny is expected to attend the NTAs on September 10, as have all previous reigning jungle winners — and Maura is also going.”

The source added: “There will have to be some clever choreography to ensure they don’t end up next to each other when walking the red carpet, but they could both end up on stage if I’m A Celebrity wins. Maura won’t be answering any questions about the kiss. She’s put the incident behind her and feels she has nothing to be ashamed of.”

McFly star Danny has put on a united front with Georgia after the couple’s testing year. The pair were all smiles as they attended the first of seven Wembley gigs for the Oasis reunion tour last month.

Mum-of-one Georgia, 38, shared a black and white photo posted on her husband’s Instagram Story. It showed her beaming as they made their way from Wembley Stadium.

Danny was looking over at her as they shared a laugh between them, showing they’ve put their rocky patch behind them and have moved on. They were joined by Danny’s mum, Kathy, who walked in between the pair in the candid snap. It’s been a tough year for the couple, with the news of Danny’s drunken BRITS kiss with Love Islander Maura sending shockwaves earlier this year.

But lucky for Danny, it appears Georgia was willing to give their marriage another try, although the pair lay low on social media since the video surfaced in March this year. Meanwhile, Maura has been keeping herself busy with work, as well as buying her new house.

The 34-year-old former Love Island contestant has earned an estimated £3.2 million in the years since she found fame on the ITV dating show back in 2019. And she has splashed the cash on a luxury new home – snapping up a five-bedroom property in the south east of England. The semi-detached house boasts an impressive garden and has huge, floor to ceiling windows that allow plenty of natural light to flood in.

This Morning host Josie Gibson has revealed she had a terrifying cancer scare after finding a lump in her breast as she made the decision to remove her implants

Josie Gibson has revealed she was forced to remove her breast implants following a harrowing cancer scare. The This Morning host found a large lump in her breast before deciding to remove the implants.

She has now spoken of the terrifying moment for the first time as she admitted she became “really worried” about the lump in 2023. Josie had a breast enhancement operation in 2013, where she went from a B cup to a DD.

Yet, 10 years on, she had to have them removed following the health scare. It comes after Katie Price is left unable to complete basic functions after latest facial surgeries.

Josie first became concerned when she found a lump. “You could actually see it protruding — you could see the breast had changed shape, so I was getting a little bit frightened,” she told the Sun.

“So I went to my GP and he had a feel around — it was my breast implant. I went and I had them out and, for me, it was one of the best things I’ve done.”

Josie, who has teamed up with tombola and Breast Cancer Now, said she has no regrets with her decision and admitted she now has “peace of mind”. The Big Brother star has also been candid about her weight and fitness levels, and she was being told she was suffering from gout.

Earlier this year, she swapped swanky restaurants for liver and spam as she had a heath MOT for her show, The 1970s Diet. She said that she ‘runs rings around her slim friends’ but is still ‘overweight’ – something she claims is unfair because she’s ‘always exercised’.

Opening up about her health in the show on Channel 5, Josie said: “I’m one of the most on the go people I’ve ever met but my size doesn’t fit with my activity. It never has. I do not stop.

“I’ve got friends that are really slim and I’m thinking, ‘I run rings around you!’ Sometimes I think, ‘Is it fair?’ but we’re all different. I am fit, but I am also overweight.”

Despite being told she has a “superior fitness rate,” Josie was told she was suffering from gout, which is a form of arthritis in which a substance in the body called uric acid builds up in the joints.

According to the NHS, you may be more likely to get gout if you’re overweight, drink alcohol or have high cholesterol. Admitting she thought gout was “only for old men”, Josie said: “I kept saying to the nurse: ‘My toes keep hurting’.

“I thought gout was only for old men, but I have been living quite a lavish life. Before I filmed this show, I caught a lot of flights, I drank a lot of champagne, I ate a lot of rich food and I had little sleep. That’s how I ended up getting gout.”
