Former Geordie Shore star Sophie Kasaei gave fans an update on social media on her fertility, as she revealed she ‘will not give up’ as she starts a new step in their journey

Former Geordie Shore star Sophie Kasaei said in a statement that she ‘will not give up’ following her fertility struggles as she issues an update to her followers. It comes after she tragically suffered a chemical pregnancy while she was trying to start a family with her boyfriend, Jordan Brook.

According to Healthline, a ‘chemical pregnancy is an early pregnancy loss that occurs shortly after implantation’. Since experiencing their loss, Sophie, 35, and Jordan have taken a new step in their journey to getting pregnant, as they have started Lymphocyte Immunisation Therapy (LIT).

The form of therapy, according to The Fertility and Gynaecology Academy, ‘involves analysing a patient’s immune system and administering appropriate immune therapy’. Sophie shared the news with her followers as she issued the update in a statement.

Taking to Instagram at the weekend, the reality star said: “After 28 months our fertility journey continues. Today we are heading to @fertilysis to start our first round of Lit therapy amongst other treatments. Our biggest leap forwards on our journey in what feels like forever.”

She added: “As a team we are taking every day, week and month as it comes. We will not give up. Thank you to every single friend, member of our families and everyone else who continues to reach out with kind words and support it really does mean the world. To those who are also in the same boat. Keep going. Keep communicating and keep exploring.”

Her latest step towards getting pregnant follows after Sophie shared how overjoyed she was to discover she had done a positive pregnancy test, however, the line disappeared.

Speaking on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast with Giovanna Fletcher, Sophie shared her story and said: “You’re like, oh, I feel a bit sick today. My God, I’m pregnant. So that happened quite a bit. And there was one sad time that I woke up one morning and there was two lines, and I was like, oh my God, there’s a line. Am I pregnant? Could this happen?”

Sophie went on to describe the moment as everything she ‘ever wanted’ before she realised what was happening.

She added: “I shouted Jordan in the room, we celebrated. And it was just amazing. This moment felt like everything I’ve ever wanted. But then I was like, right, I’m just going to take another one just in case. And Jordan was like, I’ve gotta go filming now. I was like, wait, you go filming? I’ll be fine. This is amazing.

“He left to go filming and I did it again and I went, oh, oh, the line’s gone. That was really weird. Did – did I just see that? Was that in my head? Am I like seeing things? So I looked into it and apparently saw a chemical pregnancy. So it’s where the body is obviously producing a pregnancy, but it just goes. So that was probably a moment where it was like – this is tough.”

She described the moment as a ‘hard’ point in their journey. While Sophie hopes to get pregnant, she previously spoke about adoption and said “It’s not something I’ve looked into but I wouldn’t be against it.”

A £30 electric gua sha that speeds up your skincare routine and aids in de-puffing, sculpting, and smoothing your skin with little effort has been praised by shoppers.

Despite all of us being aware of how a good workout routine can help you tone and shape your body, it can be a little trickier to achieve the same results with your face. Gua Sha has grown to be such a well-liked skincare trend because it is said to help reduce puffiness and bloating on your face, prevent water retention, and give your face a more sculpted appearance.

However, if you’ve ever attempted to follow along with a video that demonstrates how to use a gua sha, you’ll know that it requires a lot of effort and pressure, which is the opposite of a relaxing skincare regimen. Stylpro’s £29.99 Heated LED Electric Gua Sha is such a brilliant invention in this regard.

I’ve had so many compliments on Lancôme’s La Vie Est Belle perfume since it recently received a vanilla upgrade.

The Heated LED Electric Gua Sha does a lot of the work for you rather than relying solely on your own pressure and repeated movements, which can be tiring for everyone and be challenging for those with mobility issues. Both the vibration and heat settings, which aid in the gua sha-renowned lymphatic drainage, are helpful.

You’ll be able to contour and firm areas like your cheekbones and jawline more effortlessly thanks to the heat, which also aids in de-puffing and soothing skin. You can combine your gua sha and LED treatment into one, reducing time and money, thanks to LED light settings.

Red, pink, and blue light sources are available for the Heated LED Electric Gua Sha, which aid in anti-aging, boosting collagen production, reducing active acne, reducing inflammation, and boosting hydration. Your skin should look healthy and glowing with a tighter, more defined appearance as a result of the combination of sweeping movements, vibrations, heat, and LED.

If you want to spice up your skincare routine even further, you could always use some microcurrent treatments to promote further muscle tightening. The Bear Mini from Foreo is a fantastic handheld device that is currently 40% off, saving £209 to £125.40.

The Heated LED Electric Gua Sha’s gua sha shape makes it difficult to navigate, but you can also replace it with the £29.99 Stylpro Fabulous Firmer Neck and Face Smoother. It features three different LED light colors and a long, curvy shape that fits naturally around the contours of your face.

However, users have rave reviews of the Heated LED Electric Gua Sha, with one user saying it is “perfect for travel. which makes my skin feel more contoured and tight through three LED light treatments. My facial muscles feel relaxed and my skin glows after each use. Great for “de puffing”

Another person continued, “I’ve been loving this new fangled product, I’ll admit I was a little skeptical, but it’s definitely making a difference to my perimenopausal skin. I definitely feel like my skin is renewed and tighter. It feels good on your neck and face because it’s so simple to use.

The only real negative review was: “Bought with high hopes because my budget allowed for consistent use, but I can see a difference in cheekbones but not my chin. We’ll continue to use and see how the outcomes turn out, but maybe it will take a little longer.

Emily Atack has demonstrated that the denim midi skirt is ideal for autumn now that it is officially fall.

With the arrival of darker evenings, chilly mornings and the leaves falling, it’s clear to see a new season is well and truly on the way. Although technically it’s still summer, September really marks a shift for a new beginning. And with changing weather comes with changing out our wardrobes.

However, being stuck in an awkward in-between can make it difficult to get dressed in the morning. Luckily for us, Emily Atack has provided us with some well needed transitional wardrobe inspiration. And it revolves around an item that you most likely already own: the denim midi skirt.

Denim is expected to be a big trend for the fall, as always, and it’s the ideal material to transition from chilly evenings to crisp mornings.

I had a sneak peak at Topshop at Liberty, so read on for more. I predict these five pieces will sell quickly.

In an Instagram post, Emily styled her mid blue denim skirt with a simple white t-shirt, white two-strap sandals and a slouchy brown tote bag for a chic and minimalist end-of-summer look. To style this outfit for cooler weather, simply throw a cosy knit over the tee, and swap out the sandals for a pair of ballet flats or loafers.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite high street denim midis, which are perfect for September, despite not knowing where Emily’s exact denim midi comes from.

Sosandar Midi Skirt, Midi Longline Denim, Midi.

Available here for £55.

This mid-blue midi skirt from Sosandar is similar to Emily’s, and it has a split front that makes it ideal for styling with knee-high boots. It’s also made of Sosandar’s signature soft stretch denim, which prevents the uncomfortable ridgid effect that many high-street denim skirts do.

For a stylish transitional look that works from day to night, combine button-up shirts, thin-knit cardigans, and cropped jackets.

Ro & Zo Blue Denim Split Front Maxi Skirt

Here, you can purchase it for 79 pounds.

For those who want a little extra length, this maxi from Ro &amp, Zo is the perfect option. It also has a split front, which is ideal for those slightly chilly autumn days when you don’t want to completely cover up. The waistline, which doesn’t have the traditional belt loops and button fastening, is what makes this skirt appear a little higher, though.

Topshop Denim Seamed Circle Skirt

Here, you can purchase it for £48.

This Topshop version of the denim skirt is ideal if you’re looking for a cool-girl take on it. The mid-blue wash allows for easy styling with items you already own, and the A-line cut and seam detailing give it a retro vibe.

Production has been a hit with the upcoming four-part series Dear England, which adaptation of James Graham’s stage play, which centers on Gareth Southgate’s tenure as England manager.

A new drama bringing to life Gareth Southgate’s transformation of the England football team has been hit by disaster with over £100,000 of kit stolen.

The raid has caused a “massive headache” for BBC production staff as Dear England suffered a big set-back. The up-coming four-parter is an adaptation of James Graham’s hugely popular stage show, which charts the Three Lions rise under the stewardship of Southgate.

The production was centered on the cultural shift in the national team under the direction of manager, according to scriptwriter James, who wrote the popular television series Sherwood. After Southgate won the team to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018, the English public still had a love affair with the team, which was put to the test in 2021.

However, it is obvious that the thieves responsible for the raid did not enjoy the national team. Police are conducting an investigation. A gang “got on to the Dear England set in East London and grabbed a trolley full of priceless cameras and lenses,” a source told The Sun. It was a genuine smash and grab,” she said.

The production was greatly hampered by the “kit,” which was worth more than £100k, being stolen in a matter of minutes. Thankfully, neither the cast nor the crew were harmed. No one wants this to happen again, and security has become even tighter. Although they are assisting the police with their inquiries, it is likely that the kit will never be used.

The 53-year-old Three Lions manager has led England to eight successive European Championship titles. However, after England lost to Spain in Euro 2024, he fell on his sword last summer. In a moving statement, Southgate confirmed the news.

It read: “As a proud Englishman, it has been the honour of my life to play for England and to manage England. It has meant everything to me, and I have given it my all. But it’s time for change, and for a new chapter. Sunday’s final in Berlin against Spain was my final game as England manager.

In 2011, I left the FA with the intention of promoting English football. I have been supported by some amazing people, including my eight years as England men’s manager, for whom I give my sincere gratitude. Steve Holland was the best companion I could have had. He has been incredibly successful and one of the most gifted coaches of his generation.

I have participated in 102 games as the leader of a sizable group of players. They have each been a credit to their country in many ways by wearing the three lions proudly on their shirts.

“The squad we traveled to Germany has a lot of promising young talent, and we can all hope to win the trophy.” I’m so proud of them, and I hope the FA and St. George’s Park players who work every day to improve English football and who appreciate the power that football has to spur positive change, will continue to support them.

The backroom staff deserves special thanks for their tireless support for the players and I over the past eight years. I am so grateful to them for making the brilliant “team behind the team,” and for their hard work and commitment, which they continue to inspire me every day.
