Sam Klein, the star of Love Is Blind, recently made his first appearance on the first season of the UK television series last year. He is now set to become a father for the first time after revealing this exciting news on Instagram.

Love Is Blind UK star Sam Klein has revealed he’s all set to become a dad for the first time, just weeks after announcing his engagement to fiancé Shani Goldstein. The 31-year-old took to Instagram to share a series of pictures of the pair on a beach.

The two of them holding their hands over her stomach in the snaps captured the two of them hugging in the photos, with Shani sporting her baby bump. He exclaimed, “I went through my toughest times coming off of love is blind and it wasn’t easy,” and that is how he described it.

I locked myself in my room after giving up on everything. BUT I’m engaged to the love of my life, and we’re expecting our first child.

Life is a journey, but keep in mind that even when you’re down and out, you can always come back stronger! Thank you to everyone who gave me the chance to believe in me.

Their announcement comes just weeks after the pair revealed their engagement on Instagram with a series of sweet snaps. In the pictures, Sam was seen down on one knee in front of Big Brother Israel star Shani as the couple were surrounded by candles on a rooftop overlooking a city skyline.

The two were pictured embracing one another in the engagement ring emoji in the second image, which he had added as “Here goes nothing.”

It’s safe to say that Sam had a rough ride on the show when he appeared on Love Is Blind UK’s first season last year. While in the pods, he made a connection with Nicole Stevens, and she responded with “yes.”

However, Nicole ended things after they got to Greece for the couple’s trip and ended up getting with Benaiah Grunewald-Bridey and got engaged to him. Viewers questioned Sam’s motives for being on the show and thought he was a producer plant and coined him a villain as well as a “red flag”.

Sam felt as though he “didn’t want to be around anymore,” which triggered a very dim and uneasy state.

Speaking to The Sun last year, he bravely admitted: “The first few days…yeah, the first few days I questioned everything, and I fell into a very dark place, I have to be honest.

I made an effort to be very brave and declare to everyone that I was fine, but I ended up staying in my apartment for a few days and sort of locked myself up in my room.

I made an effort to simply say “I’m fine.” I just broke down on the phone when it got to Friday and someone from production welfare called me.

I told myself, “I can’t do this any more. I must admit that I’m struggling.

He claims that speaking out, “I think in hindsight, I wish I did it on day one and not wait three days.”

However, it’s difficult because I would get hurt or commit a crime if I actually did it. Just a little too much of it, I thought.

The second series of Love Is Blind UK is currently airing on Netflix, with four engaged couples living together, ahead of their make-or-break weddings.

On Wednesday (August 27), viewers will have to tune in to the streaming service to see which of the pairings will actually tie the knot and demonstrate that love can be truly blind after making connections without realizing it.

This won’t define us and instead, we’ll be focusing on our family and the exciting journey ahead with Strictly!” It comes after Strictly Come Dancing confirms rugby player Chris Robshaw as eighth star in 2025 line-up.

“Let’s hope it’s more snake hips and not hip replacement for our boy! If you see us goofing around on socials, know that while we’re navigating a lot behind the scenes, we also want to share the joy, laughter and magic of SCD with you.

“Strictly is our happy place right now and we’re embracing that fully. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, for lifting us up and surrounding us with so much love. Bring on the sequins!”

Chris reportedly met the woman who has subjected him to a campaign of harassment twice during work events last year, with initial abuse starting six months after their first encounter.

“Chris and Camilla are just the latest victims in a string of lives she’s tried to destroy.” They added that Chris has only gone ahead with Strictly because of his son Wilding.

Countryfile star John Craven is a well-known face on TV, but the presenter is notoriously private about his personal life

Countryfile presenter John Craven has remained a television favourite for more than five decades since landing his breakthrough role hosting Newsround in 1972, the BBC’s dedicated children’s news programme.

Armed with his warming approach and natural passion for broadcasting, John has built a remarkable television career, including his stint presenting Countryfile from 1989.

Away from the cameras, John retreats to his Oxfordshire home, where he’s resided for many years. The broadcaster shares his life there with wife Marilyn, and the pair have been together for more than half a century.

The dedicated television personality is also a proud dad to two daughters and a loving grandfather to their offspring, reports the Express.

The duo are believed to have first crossed paths before 1970 whilst John was stationed at the BBC in Newcastle upon Tyne, with Marilyn working as a production secretary on Look North.

The couple have cultivated a solid relationship and deliberately keep their family life away from the public.

During a 2019 interview with the Daily Mail, John expressed his satisfaction with his present career path and dismissed any desire for celebrity events, declaring bluntly: “I have no need. My career isn’t faltering.”

Looking back on his enduring marriage to Marilyn, the broadcasting stalwart disclosed his formula for marital longevity.

He told the publication: “It helped that she worked in TV. She knew how it was.”

John continued: “We hadn’t been together that long when I was asked to move to Bristol and I wasn’t sure if she would say yes, but she did, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

“She keeps me grounded. She’s been my rock. Without being too soppy, she was always there for me, which is the main thing in my business because it can be precarious.”

Born in 1940, John, 85, originates from Leeds, Yorkshire and, after departing school at sixteen, began an apprenticeship at the Yorkshire Copperworks where his passion for journalism blossomed when he started writing for the company publication.

He was then catapulted to fame on Newsround during the 1970s, but at 85 years old, he displays no indication of slowing down and has previously mentioned that whilst he assumed he would have retired by now, he doesn’t wish to abandon doing what he adores just yet.

John voiced his concerns about being labelled a legend on BBC’s The One Show, declaring: “I don’t really like being called a legend because, yeah, I’m getting on a bit, but I still feel quite useful.”

When questioned by the host why he remains so popular with audiences, John responded: “I think it’s because I’m regarded as almost a friend.

“To this day, people come up to me and say, ‘Thank you for being part of my childhood. Thanks for telling me what was happening in the world’.”

The broadcaster, who recently celebrated 35 years presenting the documentary series, had previously revealed his desire to have his ashes scattered at his beloved Yorkshire spot, reports the Express.

He admitted: “Still one of my favourite places in the world is Wharfedale and Otley Chevin, where I used to cycle with my mates.

“I love the coast too, especially Whitby, though we had family holidays in Bridlington because I suspect it was a bit cheaper.

“I’d like to come home and have my ashes scattered in Yorkshire, maybe on the top of Otley Chevin,” he revealed to The Yorkshire Post back in 2019.

After revealing her three children, Trisha Paytas has been the subject of an online heinous plot.

Big Brother.

The host has created her own musical content alongside podcasts like Dish With Trish and has a sizable following on all of her social media platforms. She might be recalled by some supporters from her brief appearance on Modern Family.

However, since her disclosure of her children, where people seem to be unsure whether she is true, she’s causing a stir online. Trisha gave birth to her first child in 2022, introducing herself as Malibu Barbie, with joy.

The celebrity and her husband subsequently welcomed their second daughter in 2024, named Elvis Paytas-Hacmon. This year brought further delightful news as their third child, a son, was born, reports OK!.

Breaking the news, Trisha posted on TikTok: “AQUAMAN MOSES PAYTAS-HACMON HAS ARRIVED 07.12.25. Thank you for all the well wishes and fun videos guessing his name. It was so cute and made us feel so loved. Such a positive space bringing him into the world.”

Fans are unsure about the authenticity of the names. It’s a common misconception that she’s creating fake names to protect the identities of her children, and that the special effects are only for the camera.

Trisha herself posted a TikTok video, stating: “The internet is very, very divisive on it. Now obviously I really don’t care, I shared the name with the world. It’s his legal name, it’s on his birth certificate.”

Since she was a “little kid,” she also confirmed that she had chosen Elvis and Malibu as her children’s names, but the third one surprised her. When asked about her affinity for the name Aquaman, she said, “If you know anything about me, you know I had a little Aquaman phase back in 2017, 2018”.

You might think, “Oh, that’s why you would go, but I really feel like I was drawn to Aquaman specifically because of my baby,” she continued.

Conspiracy

An internet conspiracy quickly emerged as fans suggested that Trisha’s children might be reincarnations of famous figures. This theory arose after each pregnancy announcement coincided with the death or health issues of a notable figure, including Queen Elizabeth and Ozzy Osbourne.

However, Trisha herself took to TikTok to address the rumours. Just a fortnight after giving birth to baby Aquaman, she said: “I know reincarnation theories about my babies is just like a meme, it’s just what the internet does, but I’m not gonna lie, being 12 days postpartum sometimes make you feel a little cookoo.

Why does the internet keep wanting to conceive souls into my baby, I’m like, wait, why? If you think that, first of all, reincarnation is a single soul into a single baby. I don’t know much about reincarnation, but I do know that the soul must be passed along when the baby is born, guys.

She continued, “The queen is so iconic, it’s like Pope Francis, I suppose 100 years, but like you guys, Ozzy has a real family.”

Ozzy says, “It’s more real, Ozzy’s more real. Real family and people are involved, but everyone else passes away, not my uterus, which makes me feel repulsed because I’ve done something wrong, I know.

When his mother’s car was stolen and his belongings stored inside,Lucciano Mortimore enjoys performing in care homes, entertaining the sick and the elderly.

A nine-year old singer who performs at care homes has had his entire kit replaced by stage legend John Barrowman after celeb fans shared the story of thieving crooks nicking his equipment.

Little Lucciano Mortimore is a celebrity in his hometown of Undy in Monmouthshire where he travels around care homes entertaining the sick and elderly with his amazing singing show. His incredible singing videos have earned him a host of celebrity followers on Instagram including Robbie Williams, Patsy Palmer, Sugababe Keisha Buchanan.

Robbie even reached out to say that he encouraged him to pursue his musical career as a performer and that he had been reminding himself of himself when he was younger.

The nine-year-old was devastated and unable to travel to his concerts or perform the songs that bring him so much joy when thieves stole his mother’s car last week and left all of his belongings inside.

A gang of masked thugs were caught on CCTV storming the quiet estate where the family lives and brazenly driving off with the Landrover which had all Lucciano’s equipment in the boot ready for his gig the next day.

The youngster took to instagram to tell his 15,000 followers about his ordeal which mum Marise says left him anxious and in floods of tears. But his high profile fans liked and shared his post with their followers, leading the video about the callous crime to go viral.

And one brand-new celebrity follower, John Barrowman, reached out to support the young star, who is up for an award at the Ascona Group Child of Wales Awards.

Marise, Lucciano’s mother, writes, “I received a message in my inbox after watching the video that had gone viral on Instagram. When I looked, it appeared to be a John Barrowman. He claimed the following day that he had only followed Lucci, but that he had asked if he could video call me because he already knew I had run the page.

“Next thing I know, I’m on a WhatsApp video call with John in America. He said he is a huge fan of Lucci’s and that he reminds him of himself when he was nine because he started out singing in care homes too.

“Lucci insisted on replacing all the kit that he had stolen in order to carry on his excellent work. I was shocked.

A brand-new set of speakers, mixer, top-of-the-line iPad, and wireless microphone worth $1800 were sent to Marise’s home after John got in touch with his UK management team.

“When it arrived on Monday it was like Christmas morning. Lucci was so happy, he just kept on saying that John’s his hero. We sent him a video to thank him and he was so kind.”

Lucci, who is the inspiration behind his performance, is now back on the gig circuit, singing with his 66-year-old Grandad John at a Tetbury care facility. “I’m just so grateful to John for being so kind and replacing all of my kit so I can get back to singing in the care homes and doing what I love,”Lucci said.

After attempting to smuggle 12kg of cocaine, Michaelaella McCollum claimed that life in jail made her stronger. She was arrested and imprisoned in Peru.

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins star Michaella McCollum has admitted that her time spent in prison left her “desensitised”. She was previously jailed for her part in a £1million cocaine-smuggling operation, which saw her spend three years in a Peruvian prison.

Michaella, 31, claims that being forced to strip by prison guards meant she had no issues was she was told to shed her clothes for the gruelling endurance show. Viewers will see her ordered to change into a boilersuit on the final episode of the series before contestants are put through 14 hours of mental and physical torture designed to align with what real SAS soldiers have to endure before they are selected.

Michaella, 31, said: “Interrogation on SAS felt very similar to the experience and things that I had to do in Peru. It began with this guy who was like, ‘Strip all your clothes off’. Being forced to strip as a woman, that’s so humiliating.

“But I realized that I was so sensitive to being told by a guard to remove your clothes because I had endured that in Peru so many times. I didn’t react when it occurred in SAS, then. I suppose I was programmed for a long time because that’s what you do.

Speaking to The Sun, Michaella added that even though she was on her period at the time, it didn’t make her think twice.

She continued, “It was my time of the month, but I did it without thinking,” in response to the video.

You can’t show emotion while you’re in prison, just because it’s bad. You have to try to remain composed and not react, scream, or challenge yourself all the time.

She came to the conclusion that she should take inspiration from the advice to “just sit and listen, don’t react.”

When Melissa Reid and Michaella, both 19, were detained in 2013 at Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, trying to smuggle 12 kg of cocaine, they were 19 years old.

After being photographed by customs officers in the busy airport, the pair were photographed as the Peru Two. They initially tried to make a claim that an armed gang had coerced them into doing something, but they eventually admitted guilt.

Michaella described how she had been high while using drugs at an Ibiza party and received a “trip” for £5, 000. She has acknowledged that this was her life’s “worst choice.” In the Ancon 2 prison, she and Melissa received sentences of six and eight months.

They were released in 2016 having served three years of the sentence and Michaella wrote a book about her experience as well as appearing in a BBC. She took on a degree in business management in order to rebuild her life and now lives in Spain with her seven-year-old twin boys Rafael and Rio.
