Coleen Nolan has opened up about the “pressure” faced by children in modern times as she recounted a moment when she found her daughter crying. Coleen and Loose Women co-star Judi Love addressed the topic in a chat that emerged before Coleen’s daughter, Ciara Fensome, celebrated the birth of a baby boy named Sidney Ray Innes.
Speaking on a recent episode of the Loose Women: Just Between Us podcast, the ITV panellist responded to a listener’s “parenting dilemma” regarding how their daughter should balance education and romance.
Judi, relaying the message, explained that the “hard-working” daughter was in the midst of a “big year”, as she had her GCSEs to focus on, but she’d also started dating, and things were starting to look “serious”.
However, there was a difference of opinion between the fan and their husband on how to approach this scenario. According to the husband, she shouldn’t see her boyfriend during the week so that she can concentrate on her studies.
The fan, who was more trusting of the teenager, believed she could “do both”, noting how seeing her boyfriend and having some much-needed “respite” could only benefit the situation.
They also shared a concern that the daughter, faced with an outright ban, would only do it behind their backs anyway, so they should give her the “freedom” to make her own decisions.
Coleen quickly agreed with the listener, and the two hosts proceeded to share their thoughts on the subject, with the duo pointing out the added complexity that social media could add in a ban, and Judi highlighted the importance of respite.
It would lead to Coleen, who now has three grandchildren, weighing in on the “pressure” faced by kids in modern times.
She claimed that, in the days of O-Levels, “very few went on to uni”, suggesting it was generally only for the “super bright kids”.
She explained: “Whereas now, there’s such this thing of they gotta pass their exams, gotta go to college, and then, ‘What uni are they going to?’ And I remember my daughter crying one day and saying to me, ‘I don’t want to go to uni’ because she didn’t have one…

“I think if you wanna be a doctor or a lawyer or something where you need 12 A-stars and certain degrees to carry on doing what you doing, if you’ve got a teenager going, ‘I’m not really sure what I wanna do’, then why you gonna force them into uni. Who you doing it for, to impress the neighbours?”
In a touching post in the aftermath of Sidney’s birth, new mum Ciara, who shares her baby boy with her fiancé, Maxx Innes, detailed how she was “so proud of all 3 of us”.
With its gingerbread-scented perfume, Avon just released the ideal festive scent. It’s a great, affordable substitute for Jo Malone’s Ginger Biscuit, which costs almost £100 less.

Avon has launched a new spicy ginger perfume for Christmas(Image: Getty Images)
The festive season is all about those warm, cosy and inviting scents, and there’s no reason the same shouldn’t apply to your perfume. A rich and spicy fragrance is a must for the Christmas season, and we might have just found the perfect one to add to your perfume collection.
Ginger Blaze, one of Avon’s newest scents, joins Bamboozie Cocktail, Choco Tuberose, and Peppery Peaches in the company’s Perfect Nonsense fragrance line. If you’ve been wanting to buy Jo Malone’s London Ginger Biscuit Cologne but aren’t quite ready to spend the money, it’s also a great alternative.
In a skin-friendly formula, Emily Atack discovers the perfect new autumn blush shade.

The Avon Ginger Blaze costs only £13 for 50ml compared to Jo Malone’s cologne, which costs just £128 for a 100ml bottle. If you bought two bottles, which would be a whopping £102 less than Jo Malone, the bottle would only cost you £26.
The Avon scent was created by combining ingredients that shouldn’t necessarily work together, which eventually gives off a distinctive, spicy scent without smelling like a candle. For an unexpectedly excellent pairing, it combines the sharp warmth of ginger with earthy, calming hay notes.
Avon also provides a bundle that bundles the scents together, which help layer the scent up and make it last longer. Both products come in the same scent. It’s simple to purchase the Ginger Blaze online or through Avon representatives.
Prada’s Infusion de Gingembre Eau de Parfum, which costs £120 less than its current £150 price at Boots, combines ginger and musks for a deep, earthy scent. Other great spicy scents for the holidays include this. Another splurge is Goldfield &’s Banks Ingenious Ginger Eau de Parfum, which has notes of ginger, vanilla, and jasmine and retails for £140 on LookFantastic.
For a more affordable pick, Marks & Spencer’s Warmth Eau de Parfum is just £12 for 50ml, with notes of cardamom, cinnamon, cedarwood and sandalwood. One reviewer said: “Lovely fragrance, very similar to a far more expensive La Labo one. This doesn’t last quite as long but at this price point you can spray with gay abandon.”
Ginger Blaze, on the other hand, has yet to garner any positive reviews because it is a relatively new launch. However, other Avon fragrances have received praise for their long-lasting qualities, with one customer describing the Perfect Nonsense Choco Tuberose Eau de Parfum as “I love the scent of this perfume. It is very long lasting.
Another person described this perfume as gorgeous. It is a big selling point because it lasts longer than many other designer perfumes on me. My new go-to perfume is a beautiful scent, too! I’ll be re-ordering and also trying the other two.

However, one reviewer claimed that because the perfume doesn’t smell expensive, it is appropriate for the price. It has a more conventional, affordable scent.
With his wife Sulina and two dogs, BBC Gardeners’ World expert Adam Frost admits to spoiling their pets a little too much. The couple admit to owning a cat and two dogs.

The plant-loving spirit of Adam Frost is well known. The Gardeners’ World presenter claimed that while he was “sat in front of a psychiatrist with depression and burnout,” he referred to some of his plants as “old friends” in an interview with Gardens Illustrated about his mental well-being.
However, it has now come to light that the Essex-born garden designer is equally devoted to animals. At his Stamford, Lincolnshire home, Adam and his wife Sulina share their lives with a cat called Ash and two dogs, Isla and Buster.
Adam acknowledges that their pets tend to be groomed. He admitted to The Times that “it gets worse as we get older.”
“With the fuss she makes of them, I don’t think Mrs. Frost would yell at me because she claims she’s probably using them to make a slight child’s substitute.”
The Frost family’s most recent addition is miniature Jack Russell Buster, with Adam revealing: “To be fair, Buster partly arrived because my 18-year-old son said, “Dear, I think you need to get Mum something to care for,” although he did say “Because she’s doing my head in,” according to Gloucestershire Live.
When Adam films Gardeners’ World segments from his three-acre rural garden, the Frosts frequently outdo the animals. He recalls a time when “Buster decided to relieve himself behind me” during a video production.
He continued, “I didn’t know it had happened,” suggesting that the program’s editing team probably considered whether to add the unanticipated moment to the final broadcast. Ash, Adam’s feline companion, regularly uses box after box of seedlings as makeshift cat beds in the cozy greenhouse.
Adam revealed that he and Sulina are planning a well-deserved break as their most recent tour is wrapping up. He also mentioned that Mrs. Frost’s holiday fund is benefitted by any profits from his most recent book, For the Love of Plants, so she’s also a very happy lady.
According to Adam, Sulina is “a little scary,” referring to the proverb that “behind every successful man is a strong woman,” and he claimed there is a slight twist in her story.
He remarked, “Every successful man has a strong woman behind her. She is a little scary but more than strong. She is described as a lioness by the children. You end up with Mrs. Frost’s wrath if you offend me or the children. We’re not interested in Mrs. Frost crossing.

Even in the garden, where one might assume Adam would have the final say, Sulina has voiced her own views. While Adam enjoys “gardening for wildlife,” Mrs Frost favours a neater plot.
Bob Harris has worked in a variety of roles across the BBC’s radio channels over the past 50 years, most notably founding Time Out magazine in 1968 before joining the company in 1970.

Bob has updated the situation.
In a heartbreaking health update this week, a BBC Radio icon admitted to feeling “low” due to his condition.
Radio 2 DJ Bob Harris has shared an update on Instagram on his ongoing prostate treatment. The 79-year-old presenter said in a social media post this week that he was feeling “very low” due to the side effects of his treatment. He has lived with the disease since he was diagnosed in 2007.
The star has been being supported by his fellow BBC colleagues including Dermot O’Leary and Zoe Ball. His friends and colleagues have been leaving supportive comments alongside his social media posts.

Bob shared a selfie with his coworker, saying, “I’m so appreciative of my cancer treatment, but sometimes the side effects are really bad. Tonight I felt very low. I’ll go back tomorrow.
Colleagues left supportive comments, with presenter Paddy McGuinness saying: “I need you up and at um Bob! You’re the Governor!!!” Zoe Ball said: “Darling chap. Sorry to hear today hasn’t been so good. all the love to you. You’re very brave and loved xxxx.” Dermot O’Leary added: “You’re the best champ! X.” Annie Lennox said: “Much love to you Bob… from Annie.”
Bob claimed to have received routine top-up treatments for the disease because he believes “every day as a blessing” as he told his supporters back in 2023. He continued, “Sometimes I have to go through lengthy top-up treatments, and I have to take a lot of hefty daily medication to keep my cancer under control, whose difficult side effects frequently bring my emotions way too close to the surface!”
However, I consider each day a blessing because my cancer was found early. If you’re a man over 50 who is reading this, my utter advice is to get your own safety checked. Your life could be saved by the quick blood test.
After rupturing his aorta, Harris took a break from presenting in 2019. He had emergency surgery, and he claimed to be “lucky to survive.”
He later stated, “Ten days ago, while out walking, I sustained an aortic dissection, or tear to my aorta.” Any harm deemed to be extremely severe is due to the body’s aorta, which serves as its primary organ.
I’ve been walking an average of five miles per day for the past few years, and I’m confident that the level of fitness I’ve gained since then has saved my life, he continued.
The inside scoop on Chelsea legend Frank Lampard, including his significant net worth, marriage to wife Christine, and managerial success right now.

Frank Lampard is a legend in the world of football, celebrated for his remarkable career with Chelsea where he bagged numerous honours including the Premier League and Champions League titles. In 106 appearances for England, he also netted 29 goals.
His managerial career has had both positive and negative outcomes, including stints at Derby County, Chelsea, Everton, and now Coventry City. Unlike his former England team-mates Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney, Lampard continues to work as a head coach.
The 47-year-old is currently at the top of the Championship table and enjoying a resurgence in his managerial career. In front of the Sky Sports cameras, Coventry will travel to newly-promoted Wrexham on Friday night for their next second-tier game.
The Welsh side, co-owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac, are no strangers to hosting high-profile visitors at the Racecourse Ground. However, the prospect of facing Lampard’s Coventry will be a daunting one for the Red Dragons, who are 16th in the standings, whereas Coventry head into the game after registering six league wins in a row and have already scored 34 goals in their opening 12 matches.
Lampard has since invested a sizable sum of money into a lavish home that he shares with his wife Christine and their children. Here’s the inside scoop on his wealth, relationship with Christine and how he’s breathed new life into his managerial career…

What is Frank Lampard’s net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Lampard’s net worth is estimated to be around £75 million, with Christine being a millionaire by herself thanks to her successful TV career. Although this figure hasn’t been confirmed, the website also points out that he was making an annual salary of £9 million while playing for Everton.
According to sports-focused website Total Sportal, Lampard’s contract with Everton was worth £15million, inclusive of a signing bonus and various other incentives, many of which weren’t realised as he was sacked by the Toffees in January 2023. At the end of the 2022/23 season, he briefly made a brief but unsuccessful stint as interim manager at Chelsea.
Frank Lampard and Christine met when?
There was a touch of fate about Frank and Christine’s romance blossoming. At the Pride of Britain awards in October 2009, the two people first met.
Christine, who still had the surname Bleakley at the time, nearly missed the glittering ceremony altogether as she’d just finished presenting The One Show. She said, “I’m very, very glad we met when we met, it was definitely about timing for us,” when describing how she met her husband while making an appearance on Loose Women.
Although Christine remained skeptical at first, it became clear that Lampard was actually a devoted follower of the BBC program she co-starred with Adrian Chiles. She previously revealed: “Frank came over to me and said, ‘ I watch you on The One Show. ‘
I replied, “No, you don’t,” Who was last night’s guest? And he was able to tell me. Following the party, a awkward introduction was made. We both laughed as we proceeded.
“Then that was it. I had a caller’s number call my phone on the way home, and he somehow got my number. He picked up when I picked up him. I said, ‘ Wow, you’re keen, ‘ as a bit of a joke, and we chatted. He claimed he liked speaking with me and would like to communicate. It was a lot of fun.
The couple wed in 2015 and share two children, Patricia and Freddie. The late mother of Frank’s beloved mother is buried under the name Patricia. Luna and Isla, two of his older daughters, are also his parents, both of whom he was previously in a relationship with Elen Rivas.
Where does Frank Lampard live?
A magnificent £10 million mansion in London is where The Lampards call home. Christine gave viewers a glimpse into their domestic life during one Loose Women episode.
She revealed that she has her own “she shed” in the garden where she spends her days retreating. Although it’s tiny, she said, “I walked into it the other day and thought, This could be a good hiding place, maybe even for a brief period of five minutes.”
How did a family tragedy impact Frank Lampard’s life?
Lampard’s mother Pat passed away in April 2008, causing a devastating family tragedy for the 58-year-old. She entered intensive care for a “week-long process” after being admitted to the hospital with pneumonia, but her family was shocked when she died from a brain hemorrhage.
The Chelsea star, who was 29 at the time, was left heartbroken by the tragedy and broke down in tears on the pitch just days later as he scored to send the Blues through to the Champions League final for the first time. He later devoted his mother, who he described as his “best friend,” to many of his professional accomplishments.
Lampard admitted to the Diary of a CEO podcast that his mother was “everything” to him and wonders if he should have left the football team in the wake of the tragedy.
Life is bigger than that, in my opinion, but it was probably just a small coping mechanism. We won the second leg of a match between Liverpool and I scored a penalty in the final match, but now we’re being sent to the Champions League final.
” I remember sitting in the dressing room afterwards and I had this almighty sense of fatigue, body and mental fatigue. I went home and opened a beer, was unable to drink it, and went to bed. It was a week or two of exhausting pain.
Many years later, the feeling of grief catches up with me. I think I probably had a year where I was single, drinking a little bit but I was playing fantastic football, I had a really good year of football, it was weird. Then, I met Christine, and I’m grateful that she came along at that time because I had a little trouble.
Who is Frank Lampard in charge of?
Coventry and Lampard’s coaching prospects in the Championship have been revived thanks to Lampard. Following club legend Mark Robins, who had led the Sky Blues from the fourth tier to the Premier League, presented him with a formidable challenge.
Lampard was already familiar with the second tier, having steered Derby to the play-off final in 2019. And he has made the most of that knowledge by helping Coventry, which had previously lost in the play-off semi-finals last year, to advance to Friday’s game against Wrexham.
Before the game, Lampard said, “We have to evaluate the opposition and comprehend how dangerous each game is.” Wrexham have gone away and got some good results this season already against good teams in the league. We simply must give our best and keep our focus on ourselves.

On Thursday night, Fiona Bruce halted Question Time to discuss the scandalous revelation that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor had been stripped of all royal titles.
Assistant Celebrity and Entertainment Editor, Daniel Bird
How does the audience react to Prince Andrew’s news?
Andrew’s bombshell news was well received by the audience for Question Time. Buckingham Palace confirmed in a rare statement that the King had started the process of absolving Prince Andrew of all of his royal titles on Thursday night when the show is being filmed.
As the discussion erupted about benefits being cut for those with anxiety, host Fiona interrupted and said, “I’m stopping recording because we have a breaking story to address.” As the audience began to laugh, “Prince Andrew,”
We will talk about this because The King has already started a process, Fiona continued. The crowd clapped as Prince Andrew was no longer Prince Andrew. The audience continued to applaud as she continued, adding that “He will be Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor” and that he would find alternative private accommodation.
Lisa Nandy MP, the secretary of state for culture, media, and sport, was asked to respond during her panel discussion. She remarked, “The King has made a significant step forward.”
She was interrupted by the cheering crowd, and I must admit that I really support the first step he’s taken. Lisa continued, “I believe this sends a very powerful message to the victims of sex crimes and grooming.”
Before I entered Parliament, I had the opportunity to work with children who had experienced horrific abuse from the grooming gangs, many of whom I knew. Some of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s testimonies have come to mind. Not just at the time, but also recently as new details emerge.
Given the new information we have, the King, in my opinion, took a brave, significant, and wise decision. Due to his connections to convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew has found himself entangled in scandals.
In March 2001, he was charged with having sex with Virginia Giuffre, who was then 17 years old. Ms. Giuffre claimed she had sex with Andrew after meeting him at the London Tape nightclub and that she had been allegedly trafficked by Epstein and his girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.
She claimed that after sleeping with Andrew, Epstein paid her $15, 000. The royal vehemently refutes the allegations, and he claimed in an interview with BBC Newsnight that he had no memory of ever meeting Virginia. However, Buckingham Palace believes that there have been “serious lapses in judgment.”

His Majesty has started a formal process to remove Prince Andrew’s style, titles, and honors, according to Buckingham Palace on Thursday night. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor will now be known as Prince Andrew. He has since been given legal protection to remain in residence thanks to his lease on Royal Lodge.
He will move to another private accommodation after receiving formal notice that the lease has been revoked. Despite the fact that he continues to refute the accusations against him, these critiques are deemed necessary. Their Majesties are happy to express to the victims and survivors of all forms of abuse that their thoughts and sympathies have been and will remain with them forever.
