Former First Dates star Laura Tott – who starred alongside the likes of Fred Sirieix on the Channel 4 show – has announced that she’s expecting another baby with her husband

Former First Dates star Laura Tott has announced that she’s expecting another baby with her husband. She shared the news with fans this week and teased over her eldest child’s reaction ahead of becoming a “big brother”.

Laura, 30 – who was once among the restaurant staff on the Channel 4 show – announced the pregnancy in a post on Instagram yesterday. She is already a parent to son Leo, who turns two in August, with her husband Sean Clarke.

Sharing the news with her followers, paramedic Laura posted a photo of Leo holding a baby scan whilst stood in a garden. She then further showcased the scan in another photo that was included in her post on the platform.

Alongside the photos, Laura told fans that Leo’s sibling is due later this year. The former reality TV star wrote in the caption: “Life is about to get a little crazier – Baby Clarke Number 2 is due December 2025, and we can’t wait!”

Laura later followed up by sharing another photo of her son on her Instagram Story. Seemingly teasing that he didn’t look impressed, she wrote: “BTS. Leo’s reaction to finding out he is going to be a big brother soon. The face says it all.”

She went on to express gratitude for the reaction to her news. Laura told fans: “Thank you so so much for every comment and message, you lovely lot. Going to be just over a two year age gap, whish me luck, all the luck please.”

Her initial post has amassed more than 10,000 likes since it was first uploaded and fans took to the comments section to share well wishes to Laura. Former Coronation Street star Kimberly Hart-Simpson wrote: “Huge congrats.”

Laura’s former colleague Fred Sirieix – who is best known as the maître d’hôtel on First Dates – also reacted to her announcement earlier this week. The presenter shared a heart-eyed emoji as his response to the pregnancy news.

Another follower wrote: “The biggest congratulations to you all my darling! So much love.” Someone else commented on the post recently: “Best big brother in the world pending.” One fan said: “Aww huge congratulations.”

Someone wrote: “So exciting. Congratulations guys.” Another person responded to Laura’s post: “Many congratulations to you all. Lovely news.” Whilst one fan wrote: “Congratulations to all of you Leo will be the best big brother.”

The news comes just over two years on from Laura announcing that she was expecting Leo in April 2023. At the time, she teased to her followers: “Our best adventure yet.” She announced his birth four months later in August that year.

Marking his first birthday last year, she wrote: “Celebrating one year since this little ray of sunshine graced this earth with his presence; happy first birthday little Leo.” Laura added: “Watching you grow is my favourite thing in the world.”

Denise Welch, a presenter of Loose Women, is anticipating Matty Healy’s Glastonbury headline performance and provided a sneak peak at her opulent accommodations.

Denise Welch is every bit the proud mother as she awaits son Matty Healy’s Glastonbury headline. Matty and The 1975 are set to headline the Pyramid Stage from 10.15pm tonight and have “pulled out all the stops” to ensure it is one to remember.

And now his Loose Women presenter mum Denise has revealed her accommodation in the build-up to the honour. Taking to her Instagram Stories on Friday, she admitted she “can’t quite believe it” as she shared a clip of Matty performing. Alongside a number of party emojis, she labelled the day: “Glastonbury Day.”

Denise, who shares Matty with ex-husband Tim Healy, then joked Matty’s stepdad – Denise’s current partner Lincoln Townley – was “preparing”. She had earlier admitted she’s not a fan of festivals – and had ruled out camping. She instead opted for a more comfortable nights rest off site.

Denise showed off their secluded, shaded, and sunny backyard before slipping onto her man in a hot tub.

Then, as he hanged his feet over the bubbling jacuzzi’s sides, was seen wearing a wicker cowboy hat. Before she showed herself smiling as she waited for her son’s big night, he said he was “loving Glastonbury” as he relaxed.

After completing their preparations, Denise loved displaying the flags in her honor at the festival. Some people simply gave her name, but others saw her face waved up high in awe.

And she re-shared Zoe Ball’s upload with a sweet photo of “Glasto chicks.” Before bumping into Denise, the radio host admitted that she had been sobbing while watching Lewis Capaldi’s surprise show.

Denise previously admitted she was “stressing out” ahead of her son’s appearance. “I’ve not really been a festival bunny – I don’t really do festivals,” confessed Denise, 67, in a chat with The Mirror.

Coachella is the only place I’ve been, I tell myself. It was all very lovely and VIP. I sat there and said, “Oh, this is okay,” and it was sunny and gorgeous. No one stays there, and everyone departs at night. Glastonbury is stressing me out.

And she acknowledged that she won’t be seeing the entire weekend’s entertainment. She continued, “I won’t stay for the entire three days.” I prefer to “swipe in and out,” she said. I might return for Rod’s performance on Sunday night.

The 1975, which features Matty, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald, and George Daniel, is her Friday night entertainment when it takes the stage at the famed Pyramid Stage. Matty, 36, is credited by Denise with his musical prowess from his father Tim, 73, who starred in ITV’s Benidorm.

P Diddy’s sex-trafficking trial is listening to the defence’s closing arguments today, but now the Bad Boy star has been accused of rape in a new lawsuit

P Diddy and his son, Justin Combs, have been accused of rape in a new lawsuit. The rapper’s current trial, in which he is accused of sex-trafficking, is being presented with the defence’s closing arguments today, but Diddy, real name Sean Combs, 55, faces fresh accusations, this time, along with his son.

As per the documents obtained by the Mirror US, a Louisiana woman claims she connected with Justin, 33, on Snapchat, before being invited to California where she was told she could further her career in the entertainment industry. She has accused Justin of luring her to his Los Angeles mansion in 2017 to be raped by his father and two other ‘masked men.’ The woman alleges she was offered alcohol, pills and marijuana before the three men arrived at the home, one of whom she says she believed was Diddy.

The rape was said to occur for several hours. Diddy’s lawyer denies the allegations.

Diddy’s team told the Mirror US, “No matter how many lawsuits are filed it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”

It comes as the Tell Me star’s bombshell sex trafficking trial nears it’s end. Prosecutors finished their closing arguments on Thursday after five hours. Yesterday, the prosecution argued to the jury that Combs is the “leader of a criminal enterprise”, who used violence and fear in “brutal crimes”

The defence’s closing arguments have begun today as defence attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told the jury it’s important to remember that none of the alleged victims called the police.

Instead, Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs for $30m (£22m), of which she ended up winning $20m. The federal case was spurred by that lawsuit, so if Combs wasn’t rich, there would be no federal criminal trial, he said.

“He’s a self-made successful black entrepreneur,” he added, saying: “He’s built wonderful, sophisticated businesses.”

Agnifilo also reminded the jury that Jane – an ex-girlfriend of Combs who testified against him under a pseudonym – is still living in a house that Combs pays for.

“Jane came here and testified against him…I don’t know what she’s doing today, but whatever she’s doing it’s in a house he paid for. He takes care of people,” Agnifilo added.

Diddy was joined in court today by Justin and his twin daughters, who have supported their father in the final days of his sex-trafficking and racketeering trial following an emotional day yesterday.

On Thursday, Jessie and D’Lila stood beside the rapper as they sent support for the disgraced mogul during the trial’s closing arguments.

Early on in the trial, the twins were present to support Diddy, even sharing a social media post saying, “The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiralled into absurdity on social media.”

Diddy denies any wrongdoing in the federal charges brought against him.

The Mirror has contacted Diddy’s lawyer for comment on this story.
