Pixie Lott ‘juggling a lot’ as she opens up about toughest part of pregnancy

By in Entertainment News, News

Pixie Lott, a singer who is expecting a second child with Oliver Cheshire, revealed her pregnancy condition.

Pixie Lott struggled to balance work and family life due to severe sickness during the first trimester of her second pregnancy. The 34-year-old singer and her husband, Oliver Cheshire, 37, who share two-year-old Albert, are expecting their second child together after tying the knot in 2022.

She announced her pregnancy while performing at the June 2016 Mighty Hoopla Festival in Brockwell Park, London. I’m having another baby, Pixie said to the audience! When the star dropped the significant news, thousands of fans were gathered close to the stage to watch her performance on the Hayu Arena stage.

As she posed outside of her dressing room later, Pixie confirmed the news on Instagram.

As she exposed her bump, she sang along to one of her songs with the words “I’m over caring what the weirdos think of me, leave it all behind, it’s a projection of their insecurities, I just cut the ties, I’m a mother, of another.”

The actress revealed that she had experienced severe illness during her first trimester as her due date neared.

She claimed to the Daily Mail that she experienced “very sick” during her first trimester, but I didn’t experience that because I was also working.

I was constantly juggling. I was playing festivals and having a lot of energy in the second trimester, which made things pass quickly.

Pixie continued, “It’s been fun dressing my bump because obviously your body changes so much.” What the human body does to prepare for a life is amazing. Because I was able to perform at the same time, I feel very fortunate.

The singer kept her first pregnancy under wraps until she was 31 weeks pregnant. Taking to Instagram in June of 2023, she showcased her huge baby bump while wearing a black bra and leggings, while Oliver tenderly kissed her bump.

She said, “We are beyond excited to announce that we are expecting our first child together, and we are looking forward to starting a family of our own.”

On the day’s lineup, she joined JADE, Ciara, Mutya Buena, Jamelia, and The Vengaboys.

Pixie and her partner Oliver first met at a Select Model catwalk event in 2010, and they eventually got married in 2022. The couple gave birth to Albert in October of that year.

Due to a neck injury, Europe’s Viktor Hovland will not compete in Sunday’s Ryder Cup singles.

His half-point score has been set at half-point for his clash with Harris English from the US.

It means that Europe is now 1122-4212-42 ahead of it all-around and only needs two points from the 11 remaining singles to win the Ryder Cup, and 221 points to win it all-in-one.

In the event of an injury to a player from the US, Keegan Bradley wrote English in the envelope.

English and Hovland were paired in the 12th match when the draw for the singles was announced following Saturday’s game.

Following his Saturday morning foursomes victory against Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley, Hovland’s issue became public.

Tyrrell Hatton took Matt Fitzpatrick’s place in the afternoon fourballs, which Hovland had been scheduled to play with in.

Hovland, who claimed he has “had some issues with a neck injury on and off for the past two months,” had an MRI on Saturday night.

Luke Donald, the European captain, told Sky Sports, “He was really stiff this morning and tried to go through his warm-up but just couldn’t play.”

He is devastated, he said. He has been destroyed. It is unfortunate that he really wanted to play in the singles for Team Europe.

Since being used three times since 1979, the envelope rule has been in effect.

Bengaluru warms up for the Women’s World Cup.

Australia 247 (34.4 overs): Litchfield 71 (48), Glenn 5-32

England 251-6 (44.3 overs): Capsey 88* (85), Garth 2-17

England’s final Women’s World Cup warm-up match in India was won by four wickets thanks to Alice Capsey’s unbeaten 88.

Before Capsey revived the innings with an innings total of 82 with Sophia Dunkley, who made 54, England fell to 32-3 in Bengaluru on the run of 248 to win.

Although Darcie Brown and Danni Wyatt-Hodge fell cheaply for 10 in the partnership of 109 and Emma Lamb, England was within striking distance.

With only four more runs required, the in-form Lamb, who made 81 against India in the other warm-up match, fell for 60. However, Capsey’s knock made sure England made it to their goal comfortably in the 45th over.

As England changed the squad, and with the exception of Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones, and Heather Knight, the experienced top three, Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones, and Heather Knight, the recovery was impressive.

Kim Garth awarded Beaumont and Knight eight and five, respectively, while Megan Schutt awarded Jones nine and eight.

Sarah Glenn, a leg-spinner for Australia, bowled Australia out for 247 in 34.4 overs, and England also did a remarkable fightback with the ball.

In the first over, Australia captain Alyssa Healy was taken out by Lauren Bell, but fellow opener Phoebe Litchfield top-scored with 71 from 48 balls to make a strong start at 128-3.

Ellyse Perry didn’t play for Australia, and their batting lineup also changed, and Glenn’s bowling caused a collapse to 167-8.

After Georgia Voll, Sophie Molineux, and Georgia Wareham’s all rejigged middle order, top-order batter Beth Mooney, who came in at number nine, made 59 from 42 balls.

By in Entertainment News, News

Pete Wicks was praised on Instagram by Vicky Pattison, who later admitted she was too enamored to properly celebrate him.

Vicky Pattison has hopped onto to social media to praise her best mate Pete Wicks on his recent “incredible achievements” and admitted that she would have done it sooner had she not been in her “Strictly bubble”.

The Geordie Shore star made her Strictly live show debut on Saturday (27 September), but has been rehearsing for weeks. Shortly after, she took to Instagram to celebrate Pete’s recent podcast performance at the O2 and share a sweet message about her best friend.

In the caption of a post, Vicky wrote, “I haven’t had a chance to properly celebrate my best friend’s incredible accomplishments because I’ve been in my strictly bubble for so long.”

She shared pictures of her, Pete and their other friends backstage at the O2 gig, including JLS’ Marvin Humes and his Saturdays wife Rochelle, actor James Buckley and Strictly pro dancer Jowita Przystal.

One of the best experiences of my life was watching you and @samthompsonuk perform at the O2 to a sold-out crowd of around 16, 000 people who were all glued to your every word and having a blast! Never have I been so proud! !

No one deserves this success more than you, you are amazing, and you are amazing! I love you SO MUCH!!!!! The entire @stayingrelevantpodcast cast is extremely talented for putting on a fantastic show and giving me a huge thank you.

Vicky had admitted she was incredibly nervous about the performance, so Pete promised to stand in front of him for her first performance.

She made fun of the fact that she was wearing a “salad in a skin” to the launch show and that she was “relieving” for the experience.

Strictly gives you the incredible opportunity to grow, whether you’re learning to dance, meeting new people, or just getting fitter. I’m so grateful for having the opportunity to discover what you can do.

Vicky and her dance partner Kai Widdrington took to the Strictly floor on Saturday for a Cha Cha Cha. Dancing to Ella Eyre’s Best Of My Love, the pair came seventh on the leaderboard with a total of 23 points.

Following his representation of President Bola Tinubu at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, Vice President Kashim Shettima has left New York, United States.

The Vice President is currently traveling to Germany where he is scheduled to hold strategic meetings with Deutsche Bank officials to discuss areas for partnership and intervention in Nigeria’s developmental initiatives, according to a statement released by his media aide, Stanley Nkwocha.

Nkwocha claimed that VP Shettima received praise from UN Secretary-General António Guterres for Nigeria’s application for a permanent UN Security Council seat during his UNGA 80 participation.

He also strengthened strategic alliances with the UK on trade, defense, and migration issues and presented Nigeria’s $200 billion energy transition opportunity to international investors.

The Vice President demanded control of Africa’s $ 700 billion mineral wealth, as well as initiatives for digital inclusion, in addition to President Tinubu’s national statement, which called for reforms at the UN, and a permanent seat for Nigeria at the UN Security Council.

He also worked with the Gates Foundation to expand the continent’s $3.4 trillion market, positioning Nigeria as the ideal hub for the expansion of the healthcare and education sectors.

Shettima was abducted by cabinet ministers who were members of the UNGA 80 delegation and Nigerian Mission officials at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, according to the statement.

‘I was in the room at MAFS wedding – one behind the scenes secret left me stunned’

By in Entertainment News, News

Married At First Sight UK has once more appeared on television as singles are matched by an expert team to wed a total stranger they have never met at the altar.

One very lucky Married At First Sight fan got the chance to attend one of the on-screen weddings in person and has revealed what really goes on behind the scenes of one of E4’s most-loved reality shows.

The iconic reality show returned to screens on Sunday, September 21, as dozens of singletons marry a complete stranger at the altar. One couple who hit it off almost immediately was Nelly Patel, 30, and Steven Springett, 34, who had one of the show’s more unique ceremonies to date.

Paying homage to her Indian upbringing and culture, Nelly was brought into the ceremony on a Doli carriage adorned with flowers as husband-to-be Steven watched on in amazement. The investment banking manager appeared to hit it off with dentist instantly, setting themselves up to be one of the strongest couples so far.

Ashleigh Rainbird, an entertainment writer, was invited to the wedding and gave an interview to see it live. The couple and their honeymoon in Montego Bay, Jamaica, were filmed on Monday evening during the 10th series of the show.

And while the wedding took all of a few minutes on screen for viewers, in reality it goes on a lot longer for those witnessing it in person. “The size of the crew is enormous,” she said via the Daily Mail.

The ceremony took place in a pavilion at North Mymms Park, a manor house from the 16th century. And while only their families and friends hear their vows once, the viewers do so on repeat.

They exchange prewritten vows, and Ashleigh describes how frequently grooms refer to their bride as “beautiful” without having seen them.

“But then they do the entire thing again, at the risk of detracting some of the magic of TV.”

It’s probably not surprising that a large-scale production like this takes several takes, but it can be difficult for those present to watch the wedding.

The venue, which was actually used to film three of the weddings but was constructed to look like three different venues, is also being flooded by producers.

“I witness producers coordinating the movements of Nelly’s bridal party and Steven’s groomsmen via walkie talkies so none of them get even a glimpse of one another,” Ashleigh said. “An urgent warning comes over the airwaves alerting the team to the bride’s parents are set to pass up a stairwell,” she said.

Fans watch the father-of-two Steven telling his now-wife that he has children, which Nelly is thankfully unaffected by.

Steven had been working as an investment banker before being attacked outside of a nightclub and forced to give up on his professional football career.

He was left with a broken nose, cracked teeth, and a broken cheekbone after nine men viciously kicked and punched him in the middle of a previous college fight in his early 20s.

After having reconstructive surgery, he decided to stop playing football. He said, “You can only hide behind a mask for a certain amount of time.” I had to alter my profession. Being a young adolescent male, I was in my early 20s, which is a terrible age.
