After welcoming his daughter Dorothy earlier this year, Tom Grennan claims he had a difficult time finding his place in the family. He now feels more at home with the family. The phrase “the baby actually doesn’t need me at all, this baby needs mum” really stuck in my head.

“But then mum needs me, I need to be there just supporting and doing as much as I can. You don’t want to feel jealous of the fact that the baby wants what she wants, it’s more, it’s not jealousy, it’s just, ‘I’m useless right now’,” said the pop star, 30, who welcomed the new arrival with his Pilates teacher wife Danniella Carraturo.

“I’m third wheeling big time. I can’t feed her, I can’t do anything really, apart from just be really supportive with Danniella,” added Tom on his BBC podcast, You About?.

Supporting Danniella – who he met in 2020 and married last year -has become a priority more than ever for Tom now, who admits that seeing her giving birth has given him a new perspective.

“Daniella was all I was concerned about when I was in the labor ward.” But she shattered it. And I believe that watching a woman give birth is on a different level, man. You’re like, “Wow, you’re super human,” you think just after seeing it. But he told Roman Kemp, the host, that it was so moving, to be honest.

Despite becoming a dad earlier in the summer, The Little Bit Of Love singer chose not to announce the news until 22 August, when he shared a picture of Dorothy – nicknamed Dottie – to Instagram.

Words will never suffice to express the gratitude I feel for the young man who never thought he’d make it to three consecutive number one albums and joining an illustrious club like The Beatles and Oasis.

The best gift I could ever hope to receive is the opportunity to become a father at the same time. Being a father gave me everything, but music gave me a purpose. The past gave me strength, the present gave me strength, and the future I aspires to.

He concluded, “I really couldn’t do it without you all, thank you so much for once more making my dreams come true.”

“The upcoming tour in September will be amazing to see so many of you. We are just beginning, so I’m really looking forward to what’s in store.

Tom has now stated, “I think we wanted to have the first few months with it just being our news and our families and friends,” in response to his decision to not disclose Dorothy’s birth earlier.

“And now I’ve entered this new chapter of my life, and it’s beautiful,” Tom said, adding that it was also very “scary.”

Jack Fincham is reportedly setting his sights on a very different career path following his arrest and split from Chloe Brockett. The Love Island star, 34, avoided prison earlier this year when he was arrested while serving a suspended sentence.

He also went though a very public rocky romance with Chloe, with the pair finally splitting for the eighth time. At the start of summer, Jack confirmed that his romance with Chloe was over for good during a Q&A with fans.

When the aspiring sportsman was questioned about dating the reality star, he replied, “No. Boxing for one summer is what I’m doing all the time. However, as Jack rebuilds his life, it seems like he is ready to pursue a new career.

He is believed to have headed to Germany as he launches a film career. “The offer to be in this film came at the right time for Jack,” a source told the Sun of the top secret project.

“Everything seems to be working out for him right now,” he said. He had previously been offered a couple of film roles, so he jumped at the chance to do one more.

They added that Jack “would love to make it big” in acting. In The Last Heist, Jack previously portrayed Tommy as a character.

The TV star won Love Island back in 2018 with Dani Dyer, however they split less than a year after leaving the iconic villa. Since his Love Island days, Jack has become better known for his sporting career as aa professional boxer.

Back in May, Jack opened up on his secret battle with bulimia that left him requiring medication to combat damage done to his body. The TV star explained that he was just 14 when his relationship with food took a dangerous turn.

He explained that when he first started boxing, he developed the eating disorder because he needed to put on a certain weight to succeed. In the years that followed, Jack fought unsuccessfully to overcome the condition.

The reality star told The Sun on Sunday that she had been a bulimic for 19 years, eating too much and then getting sick. He then went on to say that he’s frequently consumed McDonald’s, salt-and-vinegar crisps, sweets, pizzas, pasties, sausage rolls, steak slices, and other items.

He claimed that he made himself sick by bingeing and that he was left feeling “ashamed” every time. He said, “I’d eat everything, then go to my mother’s downstairs toilet because it was next to the front door in the hall.”

“I know it’s disgusting, but for years I didn’t really believe I had a problem.” He said, “It was a difficult time for me,” referring to the weight loss to just 52 kg (114 lbs, or 8.1 lbs.). I just learned that my father wasn’t actually my biological father, and I think that was a hoot.

Shirley Ballas felt ‘disdainful stares’ at dad’s funeral after painfully honest admission

In her gripping new memoir, Best Foot Forward, ex-wife Shirley Ballas opens up about the funeral of her separated father, who left the family when she was two.

TV star Shirley Ballas got “disdainful stares” from her estranged dad’s family at his funeral after she described him as a deadbeat.

In her gripping new memoir, Best Foot Forward, she writes: “I was waiting to feel something, to have any sort of reaction to his passing despite everything that had gone before, but none came.

I attended his funeral because I thought some people were staring at me, which is probably because I had just released my autobiography, which I had described as a “deadbeat dad.”

I apologize for ever including that phrase in the book because it may have appeared horribly overprinted, but I’m always open and honest about how it turned out for me as a father.

She claims that her father, George, who was referred to as Andy and passed away in 2021 at the age of 83, left the family home when she was two and was largely absent.

He and her mother Audrey “had a volatile relationship with explosive arguments that his drinking caused.” She continues, “Off he went and lived his life, getting married three more times after my mother divorced him.” It was simpler to refer to him as Andy than Dad or Daddy because of how distant our relationship was frequently.

I still feel bad that he didn’t take our time and step up. Because of how my mother was treated, I’m angry with him. When they brought in his coffin, “She claims that she had a” slight wobble” at the funeral, but it quickly passed.

This month’s release date for Best Foot Forward is later.

However, it appeared to continue afterward. His wife passed away shortly after his death, according to Shirley, and his sister, Barbara, called me. You have a right to your father’s care, she said. He said, “I’ll take nothing now that he’s dead, and he gave me nothing when he was alive.” I don’t want it if I give it to someone else.

I only wanted a picture of him because I prefer to have one. But I couldn’t get one because they refused to give me one.

In her memoir, the TV star bravely confessed to having suicidal thoughts while battling depression for the first time.

The 64-year-old admitted that she found herself “heading down the same route” as her brother David, who tragically took his own life in 2003, aged 44.

YouTuber Trisha Paytas shares health fears in candid message to fans

Fans should reconsider having plastic surgery, according to Trisha Paytas.

Trisha Paytas has warned her followers to reconsider cosmetic surgery, claiming that her breast implants are “slowly” killing her.

Because she has “done it all,” the social media personality thinks she is qualified to counsel young women about the personal effects of plastic surgery.

Trisha has had a variety of procedures, including a Brazilian breast lift as well as liposuction on her arms, back, and tummy.

The mother-of-three stated in a recent YouTube video that “You don’t need the implants, babe,” that she had “done it all,” which kind of gives me a little bit of a perspective from an older sister, or literal mum, expertise, if you will.

She detailed her own connection with cosmetic procedures, revealing: “I’ve been thinking about implants since I was like 10 or 11, because I had really uneven boobs in school,” reports OK!

The noughties’ beauty ideals, which promoted women with ample busts as the ideal standard, amplified her self-consciousness. Trisha underwent her initial procedure with these stars in mind, even though she acknowledges that she had an idol for artists like Pamela Anderson and Dolly Parton.

The podcast presenter delved into plastic surgery once she started making money from digital content.

“I couldn’t afford them [the implants] until I was about 20 years old, thanks to YouTube. I started YouTube and I started making money and I was like ‘Oh my god, the first thing I’m buying is implants,'” she admitted in the clip.

I’m not going to lie, but I did love them. When I received them, I believed I was the s*** because I looked so good, Trisha continued.

However, the 37-year-old is currently having her implants removed and hopes to “de-influence” her millions of followers by preventing them from having breast enhancement surgery.

She shared her battles with her family, saying, “Honestly, I would live the rest of my life with these awful implants that are sagging down, but I do believe they are slowly killing me.”

“There is a breast implant illness out there. I’ve talked to a lot of people who have elicited and have similar symptoms [to her], despite not having been diagnosed.

“And they said after having their implants removed, they immediately felt better.”

Continue reading the article.

Trisha revealed later in the open video that she no longer wants to have her life risky for cosmetic surgery because of the dependent nature of her three children.

The reality star, however, has decided to have this “final” procedure because she believes the implants may be putting a strain on her health.
