“One emergency caesarean, many crying sessions, a few panic attacks, infinite love, one glorious little baby, and one whole year. Thank you @r.g.bert, and thank you little body for all you’ve endured and all you’ve done. I won’t take you for granted again,” she captioned the honest post and tagged her actor partner.

Fans and friends immediately took to the comment section to praise the couple as one user wrote: “Beautiful lady. I have a similar scar too from my c-section with my second. Just amazes me how utterly fabulous our bodies are.”

“Nurse Valerie would have been proud of you. still miss you in ctmw, but life moves on and you have a whole new world. nothing better,” one fan commented as they shared their love for her Call The Midwife character.

She played Nurse Valerie on Call The Midwife between 2017 and 2020. Revealing the news of her exit, she said on Twitter/X: “After four joyful years spend with Call the Midwife, I have decided to say goodbye to Nonnatus, Val and the wonderful cast, crew and production team.

“The programme is truly a national treasure, and it will always be a huge honour for me to have been a part of something so wonderful.

“I can’t wait to keep watching our beloved Nonnatus from the other side of the screen. Long live Call the Midwife. So long, chicks.”

Jennifer’s first major role was as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice over 10 years ago. She also starred in Teddy and The Recruiting Officer.

She even received a Commendation at the Ian Charleson Awards for her 2014 role as Lady Percy in Henry IV, Parts 1 and 2 at the Royal Shakespeare Company, and for the Royal Shakespeare Company she was also Katherine in Henry V.

Jeremy Clarkson has hit out at those behind the decision to ban his new beer commercial from airing on television and the radio

Jeremy Clarkson has been left unimpressed after his big-budget advert was banned from our screens and radio. The former Top Gear presenter, 65, hit out at the “fun police” for refusing to let the ad air.

He had hired a 34-strong choir of real British farmers to sing their own version of a classic opera tune for the beer commercial. However, the issue came with the farmers’ changing of a lyric to sing “F*** me it’s good”.

Joining in, Jeremy is then seen taking a sip of his pint. While standing in the middle of the choir, he echoes their sentiment as he tells the camera: “Hawkstone. It is f***ing good.”

Jeremy had been hoping to showcase British farming alongside his best-selling lager. He described the advert as “the best thing I’ve ever made, apart from a shepherd’s pie in 1988”.

However, due to it being “not compliant” with broadcasting regulations, the production may never be aired.

Speaking from his Diddly Squat Farm, Jeremy fumed: “It’s a cock-up, as usual. I’ve made my biggest, most heartfelt, and frankly, most expensive advert ever, and it’s been banned.

“The fun police in their beige offices have decided that the public can’t be trusted to watch it. It’s been kicked off the telly, silenced on the radio, and barred from the cinema.”

He added: “Apparently, it’s ‘not compliant’. With what, I have no idea. Common sense?”

Jeremy regularly documents his journey when it comes to his farm and recently gave an insight into his pub business. He admitted last month that he’s “done” after struggling with his pub venture.

The TV star has said that he won’t be taking on any more entrepreneurial ventures after his pub due to not understanding the business behind it. The Grand Tour star took on the new business venture in July 2024 after purchasing the venue in Asthall.

He decided he would take on the challenge after being successful with his 1000-acre Diddly Squat farm and accompanying shop. The pub called The Farmer’s Dog has attracted people from around the country to go and visit.

However, in an interview with The Times, Jeremy claimed: “I’m done with business now. I am not starting another business as long as I live. I don’t understand it and am not motivated by money. I just want a good craic.”

A young woman’s recent trip to the pub sparked a debate among Brits over the prices for its fare. Amy Robinson, 20, took a trip to the “proper British” boozer, as Jeremy calls it, and shared her culinary experience on TikTok. She rated the food a perfect “10/10” and praising its deliciousness.

Amy’s glowing review showcased the pub’s outdoor dining space and the artfully plated meals, but viewers were quick to grill her about the prices.

Former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres threw her support behind Rosie O’Donnell after she was slammed by President Donald Trump

Ellen DeGeneres threw her support behind comedian Rosie O’Donnell after US President and convicted felon Donald Trump threatened to illegally revoke her US citizenship for moving her family to Ireland until “it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America”.

Rosie, who was born in the United States, moved her family to Ireland earlier this year after Trump was re-elected – saying: “When it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that’s when we will consider coming back.” Rosie has been open about her dislike for Trump, with her trading insults online while she was a host on TV’s The View in 2015.

After the comedian said she would only consider returning to the US when it is “safe”, Trump lashed out on his Truth Social platform, saying he’s giving “serious consideration” to revoking her citizenship – something he is not legally able to do.

POTUS wrote: “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship.

“She is a Threat to Humanity, and should remain in the wonderful Country of Ireland, if they want her. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

Removing the citizenship of a natural born citizen of the US would put the President in breach of the 14th Amendment of the constitution.

It guarantees: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

“No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States.” Amid the feud, former talk show host Ellen took to her Instagram to share a screenshot of Trump’s tweet.

She added: “Good for you @rosie.” She also shared a screenshot of Rosie’s response, which said: “Hey donald – you’re rattled agan? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours.

“You call me a threat to humanity – but I’m everything you fear: a loud woman, a queer woman, a mother who tells the truth, an American who got out of the country b4 u set it ablaze. You build walls – I build a life for my autistic kid in a country where decency still exists.

“You crave loyalty – I teach my childre to question power. You sell fear on golf courses – I make art about surviving trauma. You like, you steal, you degrade – I nurture, I create, I persist.”

Rosie concluded: “You are everything that is wrong with America – and I’m everything you hate about what’s still right with it. You want to revoke my citizenship? Go ahead and try, King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan. I’m not yours to silence. I never was.”

UFC icon, Conor McGregor, who is engaged to the mum of his four kids, Dee Devlin, was recently spotted kissing a mystery woman on a beach in America

Conor McGregor’s fiancée, Dee Devlin, has stood by her man time and time again. The UFC icon, 37, who shares four kids with Dee, also 37, has hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons in recent years, including an allegation of “brutally raping and battering” in a civil case, which the boxer has consistently denied.

Former hairdresser Nikita Hand, 35, won a lawsuit in the civil court in Dublin against McGregor over the alleged incident, which allegedly took place in a penthouse at the Beacon Hotel in 2018. During the three-week civil case – which McGregor attended with devoted partner, Dee – last November, the UFC star maintained that he had consensual sex with Ms Hand. However, after a six-hour and ten-minute deliberation, the jury found the father of four civilly liable for assault on the lower burden of proof for civil cases than criminal cases.

Nine months later and there is a new scandal to test Dee’s resolve after McGregor has been accused of kissing another woman.

He was spotted enjoying a jet ski ride before he was seen snuggling up to a mystery brunette on a Fort Lauderdale beach in America.

After the news broke, former model, Dee, jumped on social media. However, rather than reference the reports, she posted loved-up snaps of herself and McGregor on his birthday as she gushed: “Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile.”

But why does she still stand by him?

The pair have been engaged since 2020 and share four children having met as teenagers in 2008.

Famously, Dee has supported the fighter through the highs and lows of his mixed martial arts career and life, as the 37-year-old went from being jobless to a multi-millionaire and the biggest star in the UFC in a matter of years.

Speaking about his then girlfriend in 2015, McGregor said he spoiled Dee, who “has been there since the start” and who he revealed “works for me now”. He told The Sun: “My girlfriend has been there since the start. She has helped me throughout this career. If it wasn’t for her, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today.

“So definitely, I love to spoil her. She does not work anymore; I hired her for the business. She works for me now and collects the cheques.

“My girlfriend worked very hard throughout the years and stuck by me when I had essentially absolutely nothing. I only had a dream that I was telling her.”

Claiming he gives her “everything she’s ever wanted”, he concluded: “For me to be able to take her out of work, give her everything she’s ever wanted and to travel the world with her fills me with pride. It keeps me going. We’ve been together a long time. She’s been through it all with me.”

Dee certainly appears to have ‘been through it all’ and is still standing by her man of 16 years following the latest report of his alleged infidelity

Notably, she also supported McGregor when he faced allegations of “brutally raping and battering” in the civil case last year.

The UFC star is now appealing the decision, which was initially set to introduce fresh evidence. Yet, this month the Dublin Court of Appeal was informed that McGregor would no longer be presenting new evidence that wasn’t available during the first trial.

Dee accompanied McGregor to court for the verdict last year, but did not make any comment as she left.

However, later that night she threw her support behind her man again and posted a photo of the couple and their daughter Croia (six) and son Mack (one) with the caption: “My man and I have created a beautiful life together.

“I love him I trust him and I BELIEVE HIM! Our four beautiful children, whose smiling faces and happy hearts are testimony to the man he is and who we are!

“No one is entitled to comment on our relationship. We trust one another and love one another. Nothing or nobody will change that. Our family stands strong!”

The Mirror has contacted Conor’s reps for comment.
