Freddy Brazier, 21, and Holly Swinburn, 24, are expecting their first child together, and they are making their red carpet debut.

The late Big Brother legend’s son Jade Goody’s son, Jeff Brazier, and TV personality Jeff Brazier, both said they were expecting a child in August. Freddy and Holly looked very loved-up and very much together when they were posing together this evening outside the Grosvner Hotel in London.

Freddy looked dapper in a black top and matching gray pants and jacket while Holly flashed off her expanding baby bump in a bold, blackless yellow gown. Before entering the Pride of Britain Awards show venue, the two posed for photos before snapping their lives together.

Freddy broke his silence in August by taking to Instagram to express his joy to followers informing them that Holly was pregnant.

He referred to a photo of the Canary Wharf skyline as “I’m actually a DILF to be!”. Since then, he has since called Holly his “baby mother” and shared some photos of her.

Meanwhile, his brother Bobby recently expressed his joy at turning into a “funcle.” He told The Sun that he had received the news from his father but that he initially “didn’t know what to believe.”

The baby will bring the family closer than ever before, according to Bobby’s continued statement.

He boasted that the project will involve a team effort. It undoubtedly brings us together. I’m hoping I can take some of my father’s support and give birth to a son together.

Recently, a friend of Freddy’s claimed that Jeff has also been a significant support to him and that the news has tenseened their relationship.

Freddy’s announcement as a baby comes after a difficult time for the 21-year-old. Due to his legal dispute with Jackiey Budden, Freddy’s grandmother, Freddy’s relationship with his father, recently deteriorated.

Jackiey recently expressed out in fury after Freddy claimed his maternal grandmother had “hooked” him with drugs when he was 12 years old. In light of Jeff’s legal battle to stop him from seeing the pensioner, he had stated in a podcast that he still hopes to have a positive relationship with Jackiey.

Jackie, whose daughter Jade passed away from cancer in 2009, has responded to the 21-year-old man’s remarks. She remarked, “I have read everything he’s said about me, and I just can’t believe he’s saying it.” I can’t believe it, because it just isn’t true at all.

Before he and I ever smoked together while we were traveling in Essex near Jeff’s house, Freddy said, “He had gotten into some bad crowds, but it wasn’t with me.”

Carol posed for photos while wearing a stunning form-fitting black gown prior to the special occasion. She kept things simple by wearing a plain long-sleeved dress, adding dazzling necklaces to the look in layers.

Her brown locks was styled in loose waves which flowed down her shoulders. Over on her Instagram page, Carol revealed she’s wearing two dresses tonight. The black gown was for the red carpet while fans will have to wait and see her second dress.

It follows Carol’s open discussion about her health issues. She left her LBC Sunday radio show last year after a “health scare.”

She exclusively reveals that she has been “very poorly” over the past year but has finally managed to come out the other side a year later.

Carol told OK! that Carol’s year has been a little hellish in terms of health. I’ve been very unwell, with nothing directly connected to burnout, but rather something entirely different.

I’m taking the right medications right now, but I only recently started feeling inspired. Watch out, world!

The mother-of-two, who is twice married and divorced, also revealed that she relied heavily on a circle of supportive friends to lift her spirits and enjoy her newfound independence.

“I’ve had a lot of mini-breaks and holidays with friends,” she says of gay friends and female friends I’ve known for ten years. She said, “I’ve been back to horse racing, I’ve traveled to the States, France, and literally everywhere.”

On Thursday, October 23 at 8 p.m. on ITV, watch the Daily Mirror’s Pride of Britain Awards.

The rhinestone-covered heels have multiple slim straps that wrap around the foot giving a barely-there illusion, with the gems adding a subtle bit of sparkle to any outfit. With the festive season coming up, we have no doubt these would be the perfect addition to any Christmas party outfit.

The open toe and strappy design of the Gold Diamante Strappy Heeled Sandals means you can wear them with jeans and a top to help elevate an otherwise more casual outfit to make it party-appropriate. Or you could follow in Amy’s footsteps (quite literally) by wearing them with a maxi-length dress.

The gold backdrop and sparkly diamantes on the Strappy Heeled Sandals also makes them easy to wear with just about any colour, and you can easily pick complementary jewellery and accessories to finish the look. They come in sizes ranging from a two to a nine, and you can also pick them up in a wide fit for those with broader feet.

You can also pick up similar styles elsewhere, with the Where’s That From ‘Summer’ Stiletto High Heels With Rhinestone Strap now on sale at Debenhams. Currently down from £65.99 to £27.99, they heels have a similar design to Amy’s, and you can choose from both gold and silver versions.

Meanwhile at ASOS, the Simmi London Yara Barely There Embellished Sandals are £35 and come in silver. The White Diamantè Embellished Triple Strap Stiletto Sandals are £23 down from £39.99 at New Look, on the other hand, are white with silver diamantes and adjustable buckles at the ankle.

However Amy’s River Island Gold Diamante Strappy Heeled Sandals are the perfect combination of fun and party ready whilst still being wearable and easy to style all year round. And for £42, we’re ready to add them to our party season wardrobe immediately.

Michaela Strachan took everyone on a nostalgia trip as she celebrated pal Timmy Mallett’s big birthday and her blown-away followers were all left saying the same thing

Timmy Mallett celebrated turning 70 this weekend and fans have been quick to tell him he’s hardly aged since he used to entertain the nation’s children four decades ago.

The bespectacled telly legend, one of the most recognisable presenters of the 1980s, made a name for himself through his zany sense of humour – not to mention whacking people over the head with his famous inflatable mallet. Despite also managing to lodge Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini into people’s heads, he stayed popular and became a regular on the radio as well as the box.

Nowadays, he is less keen on life in the limelight, preferring instead to spend his time making art and sharing TikTok videos detailing his adventures cycling around the UK and his beloved football club Maidenhead United. He also spends plenty of time with his pals – as well as fellow ageless TV presenter Michaela Strachan.

The wildlife expert raced to Instagram to shower the star with love and said: “Happy 70th to my wonderful & utterly brilliant friend @timmy.mallett Managed to be the surprise guest at his birthday gathering & we ended up doing endless singalongs!

“We have been friends for 40 yrs & it’s a friendship I truly value. Timmy is such an inspiration with his cycling, his painting, his curiosity, his endless energy. What a legend.” The presenter bagged her first job on children’s morning TV when she fronted The Wide Awake Club from 1986 alongside Timmy before she went onto front Wacaday.

Her followers couldn’t agree more and after taking them all on a nostalgia trip, one wrote in the comments: “Love this. You both look no different to when I was growing up!” Another told the Springwatch host “You both don’t look any different to when I watched you on wacaday.”

Timmy married Australian-born Lynda Bingham back in 1990, and the pair are still going strong. In 2008, when Timmy was competing in I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!, Lynda opened up about what it was like living with such an eccentric character, revealing that her husband isn’t quite as giggly as his reality show appearances would suggest.

Lynda told the Mail Online: “Timmy giggles at home sometimes, but not all the time. He was being filmed 24 hours a day on I’m A Celebrity and the producers were taking bits of him giggling and putting it into an hour-long programme, which made it appear as if he was always giggling. In the last series, they had that woman Janice [Dickinson] who constantly said ‘Oh Man’ to everything.

“Timmy’s laugh may be irritating, but he’s not an irritating person. He was probably just trying to cheer things up a bit, although at times I’ve thought, ‘Oh God, Timmy, tone it down’. And being irritating at least got him noticed. Robert Kilroy-Silk did well in the bush tucker trials but that’s not exactly interesting, is it?”

Opening up about the secret to keeping Timmy happy, Lynda continued: “You know what I do when Timmy gets crabby at home? I feed him. It works every time. If someone comes round and says they’ve had a bad day, I give them some cake.”

In an interview with the Daily Express in 2022, Timmy addressed speculation surrounding a potential return to television, remarking that the thought “does not appeal” to him. Timmy, who now has 70,000 followers on TikTok, explained: “It’s not something that jumps right out and appeals to me. I like the idea of trying something new. But, I’m not going to. I don’t really need to go off and break my leg. However, I can still do the dance to itsy bitsy.”
