They revealed their relationship plans on Stacey and Joe: Full House, a reality series, but they are still fighting a common parenting battle.

Loose Women star Stacey Solomon and her husband Joe Swash have given a realistic perspective on their home life, admitting they have a “constant battle” with their kids. Former EastEnders actor Joe, 43, and Stacey, 35, have six children between them.

Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two, all live with them. Leighton, 12, and Zachary, 17, are Stacey’s two children from previous relationships.

Harry, a son of Harry’s age, was a child of Joe and his ex Emma Sophocleous. When Joe went to court to see his son, the couple split up when their son was very young.

Parenting has become more difficult in recent years, with Stacey and Joe being forced to put their feet up over the relatable issue of screen time. Rex is now only allowed to play games for an hour at the weekend if he behaves and completes his chores at school, which is why they now refer to using the phone as “a privilege.”

In a new interview with Huffington Post, Joe explained his and Stacey’s “battle” with their son and his weekly reward of screen time. He said: “But even that, me and Stacey begrudgingly let him have that.

We keep a watchful eye on what he’s doing and what games he’s playing even though it’s challenging because it’s a constant battle. You are aware of it, but it does concern us.

Joe explained that it’s a balancing act because he is aware that their social life includes a lot of phone access with their older children. He still wants to monitor their usage to make sure they are secure, though.

Joe acknowledges there is “no real right or wrong” with the couple when it comes to using the internet. Every parent “muddling through” and making mistakes, he continued.

Fans of the close-knit family’s life are getting a glimpse into it with their new reality series Stacey &amp, Joe: Full House, which the couple are known for keeping it real. Their series provides a realistic view of their daily routines, including their hectic careers and homes.

The pair, who tied the knot in 2022, revealed they’ve turned to marriage therapy to keep their relationship on track. A source recently told OK! that Stacey and Joe may have underplayed how big a step having cameras around for every tricky moment would be.

They underestimated how challenging it would be to produce this reality show, the source claimed. Having cameras around and watching it back wasn’t always easy. They won’t deny that the work and commitment to balancing their relationship have been difficult.

The source adds that they are pleased that they made an open letter about couple therapy. They are receiving therapy because they are in love and never want to end their relationship. Yes, there have been ups and downs and a lot of roller coasters, but they both know therapy is the best way to improve their relationship and address their issues.

READ MORE: Trinny London’s new serum helps you ‘age backwards’ and repairs skin in 30 minutes

This well-known high street skincare company just introduced a new duo to promote healthy, hydrated skin this summer, and consumers are already in awe of the products.

Nearly everyone’s skin could benefit from extra hydration, especially in the summer, when skin can become dehydrated and dry. A simple two-step cleanser and a face mist are just two ingredients from one of our favorite skincare companies, which costs from £6.50.

The INKEY List has just released a new Hydrating Cream-to-Milk Cleanser, £13, and a Hydro-Surge Dewy Face Mist, £111. The brand is well-liked by customers and beauty editors alike because of its effective formulas and affordable prices. The cleanser can be purchased together for £22.80, which saves you money when purchased together (you also receive a free washbag), and there is also a mini 50ml bottle of it (perfect for travel).

This is the best lightweight face base I’ve found, according to a reviewer who tested 9 skin tints.

In 30 minutes, Trinny London’s new serum, which helps you “age backwards,” and repairs skin.

Any skincare should start with a cleanser, and this new INKEY List one has a lightweight, creamy consistency that’s clinically proven to give 24-hour hydration. One 59 year old called it “truly glorious”, and “rich, unctuous without being cloying, and truly lovely”. Other reviews call it “wow in a bottle”, “one of my favourite products” and “very effective and a good price”.

We adore other creamy cleaners like BYOMA Milky Moisture Cleanser, Skin Rocks The Cream Cleanser, £32, and La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo Cleanser, £33.50.

The Hydro-Surge Dewy Face Mist from The INKEY List can be used either after cleansing, after moisturiser or SPF, or as needed throughout the day. Tests have demonstrated 12 hours of hydration, and it contains ingredients that provide both instant and long-lasting moisture and a radiant glow.

However, the customer reviews are what are most impressive. “Oh my goodness! One person wrote, “This dewy face mist makes my 50-year-old face feel so much younger.” My skin glows nice and young thanks to the mist. Just the right amount of water to keep hydrated throughout the day. a major change in my skin care regimen.

Another customer described the product as “brilliant refreshing face mist.” It kept my makeup on all day and on my bare face, too! Although I haven’t noticed a scent to this product, the packaging is straightforward and sophisticated.

A third person continued, “This product has become my holy grail for getting the perfect dewy look,” calling it “the perfect product for creating a glazed look.” It instantly gives my skin a dewy, fresh appearance and makes my skin look so glazed. Instantly moisturizes my skin while keeping my skin hydrated throughout the day.

However, one person wrote, “I really liked at first, but it can be a little too much if I’m having a super oily day,” and that even though they liked it, it might not be suitable for oily skin. For dry or normal skin, it’s great, but I’m careful not to overapply it for combo skin. If this sounds like your skin type, you might benefit from using a more mattifying mist, like the £12 La Roche-Posay Serozinc or the £16 PIXI Clarity Mist, both of which are excellent for breakouts.

Despite Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham’s wife’s continuing distance from the close-knit family, hysteric social media posts have heightened worries about a feud.

Singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham has put on a brave face in her latest Instagram video, but the mother-of-four looks like she’s carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders amid her estrangement from son Brooklyn. Victoria, 51, has shared a clip of herself applying make up to promote her Victoria Beckham Beauty range.

While speaking to the camera, the Spice Girls star was seen with a custom silky robe and a white towel wrapped around her hair. She gave a tutorial on how to use her Satin Kajal Liner in Terracotta to her 32.9 million followers, giving a description of her new summer look and wearing her usual flawless makeup.

Fashion icon Victoria acknowledged that the colors in her make-up range “spent a lot of time obsessing,” explaining how they differ from those on the market. However, she appeared less cheerful in the video because she was probably worried about her son’s relationship with his family.

The family’s fall-out with eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, has caused speculation among fans that a feud has emerged. Various cryptic videos have been posted on both sides of the rift, while Brooklyn completely missed out on his dad David’s 50th birthday celebrations – making him the only member of the family not to attend.

A recent interview with Glamour’s German magazine saw Brooklyn and Nicola open up on their relationship and the pressures fame has put on them. When asked about how he protects his relationship in the spotlight, Brooklyn said: “Ignore the noise. Keep your head down, work hard, be kind. People are always going to talk. What matters is that we’re happy together.”

It’s not always simple, Nicola continued. On TikTok, stories about us are constantly appearing. My natural reaction is to stop watching fake news. However, it is not worthwhile. Simply put, I just scroll past and proceed.

In 2022, Nicola, the daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and former model Claudia Heffner Peltz, wed Brooklyn, Victoria and David Beckham’s eldest son. Nicola and Brooklyn appeared to be distancing themselves from his close-knit family in the interview.

When a customer asked about his Cloud23 hot sauce brand’s name, a member of his team explained: “The 23 included in our brand is a warm nod to Brooklyn’s father, David Beckham, who wore number 23 while playing for Real Madrid and LA Galaxy, inspired by NBA legend Michael Jordan.”

However, he made a new statement in Brooklyn’s interview with Glamour in April, saying that “The 23 represents our engagement date and my age at the time.” Brooklyn’s tattoo, “Mama’s boy,” has also been concealed, according to fresh images of his body.

In an Instagram video shared in May, Brooklyn appeared to clearly pledge allegiance to Nicola. Showing him take his wife for an early morning motorbike ride, he wrote: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.”

Less than a day after Brooklyn’s pointed statement, his brother Cruz Beckham, 20 shared what seemed to be a response. He posted a clip of one of his mum Victoria’s songs from her solo self-titled album, Every Part Of Me, writing simply: “Listen.”

The lyrics read, “I believe you ought to be aware that people will come and go.” I’ll still be here, so be assured of this one thing. I am aware that you will have to leave when you are ready. But you don’t need to worry; I promise to be there if something ever breaks your heart.

You sense that your entire world has been torn apart. You’ll be through difficult times because of my love for you. I’ll assist you in becoming strong. I’ll always love you so… You’ll always be my baby, the song’s poignant conclusion says.

EXCLUSIVE: The Sugababes have opened up about their meteoric comeback and gaining the right to use their band name again, but admit their fans deserved the reunion

The Sugababes admit facing “obstacles” during their comeback without having the iconic band name. Original members, Muyua Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy left fans gobsmacked in 2011 when it emerged that they would be reuniting for the first time since Donaghy’s departure in 2011.

But after Keisha’s exit from the group in 2009, the original members joined forces under the name MKS and performed a string of sell-out shows across the country, as well as releasing original music. But it was in 2019 that the band won back the legal rights to use their name, which propelled them to fame.

Reflecting on their comeback during an exclusive chat with the Mirror, Siobhán admits that the legacy behind the iconic girl group is “amazing”. She said: “On one hand, it makes everything super easy when you’re doing a show, everyone sings along to every show. Also, it’s a lot to live up to, so it’s a bit of good pressure in terms of new music – I think that’s a good pressure and it motivates us.”

Keisha added: “It’s always been important to us, and I think that was one of the main things for us getting back together, is that we wanted to pick up where we left off.” Mutya added: “And give back to the fans as well, I think we’ve had such great supporters from then til now.” Keisha added: “They deserved a different ending.”

Speaking about the bombshell MKS reunion, Keisha said: “That was amazing.” Mutya added on their reaction from fans: “Like they still cared and we were still relevant because when you haven’t done something for so long, you don’t know how the tickets are going to sell, you don’t even know if people still like you.”

Keisha added: “That was incredible, we hadn’t had the name back yet. And so we were meeting all these different obstacles of ‘Can you do it without the name? Can you do this?’ We always knew that with us, it was about the music, and our voices were the most recognisable thing, even without the name.

“So being able to come back and having all these obstacles and still being able to have sell-out shows and the support we had was really great.” But the band admit it has been a “long journey” since they reformed, revealing that the past three to four years have been the most hectic for them.

“It was a whole ten-year journey before that,” Keisha said, adding: “When it was starting to happen, it was everything that we dreamt of and more.” The band are now busier than ever, having recently performed a sell-out arena tour across the UK, as well as appearing at dozens of festivals.

Two of those festivals were Glastonbury, which saw an unprecedented demand for the group, with the fields being closed down on both occasions. Siobhan admitted that the band would have loved to shut the fields down but had no idea it would actually happen on both occasions in 2022 and 2024.

But how do the band get their heads around the staggering success of the band? “We kind of embrace it,” Keisha explained. She went on to add: “Like Siobhán was saying, it’s such a big legacy and it’s great when we’re on stage, the hardest thing when you’re performing is trying to reintroduce new stuff.

“Even when we were first performing the Round Round’s and Overload’s, I think really, the goal is what legacy you leave. The fact that we can come back 25 years later, we started so young, and reintroduce things in a different way. Everything is reimagined in the music, and it sounds very current.”

One thing they have reintroduced is a new version of Too Lost In You, with a garage aspect on the classic ballad, which has since become a fan favourite at Sugababes concerts. Siobhán said: “It’s not as mentally daunting being in your mind as when you’re a teenager.” The band were in their early teens when they were signed by Ron Tom and Sarah Stennet before going on to release their debut single, Overload, in 2000 – which peaked at Number 6.

“We’re very humble,” says Mutya, adding that they count their blessings. Despite their current and rather hectic schedules ahead of festivals, the band admit that there will be new music soon”. “More festivals, singles and an album,” said Keisha, before Siobhán joked they needed to “hurry up.”

She added: “The body of work is there, we just need to finish it off, we’ve gone straight from touring to festival season, we’re finding the slots where we can get the opportunity,” before confirming the singles are “lined up.”

Although the band are leading the industry with their top-tier vocals, Keisha admits that there are “so many talented” female vocal groups. She added: “It’s so good that we get to be amongst them. Back then, it was really about the harmonies; we did have a unique way of doing our harmonies. Even the boy bands are singing now.”

“We’ve got some great British groups and vocalists,” said Mutya. One thing Mutya doesn’t understand is why the UK’s Eurovision Song Contest entry, Remember Mondays received no points. “I actually thought they were good, they got zero,” she said, adding: “I think people were just being really mean. Vocally, they were really, really good.

“They didn’t deserve zero.” Since finding fame in 1998, what has been their favourite look and fashion highlight? “I really liked my Glastonbury look,” said Siobhán, adding: “I used to wear a lot of Vivienne Westwood, I’m a massive fan.”

Mutya went on to say: “I don’t know, I always seem to like a baggy look, cropped jacket, I don’t mind where it’s from. On the tour, I did Evisu, I kind of brought that back out for myself.” Keisha said: “For me, I feel like braids, the chunky ones.

“I didn’t really do braids throughout the Sugababes. I had one nightmare, I had this bobbed braid in Year 7, and it was done really badly by someone. I walked in, and one of the boys was like, ‘Your hair looks like worms.’ It was just done terribly. There’s a knack to how you do it.

“I was obsessed with Brandy [Norwood], so that’s why I had it done. Looking back, when I had that moment, I didn’t do it again until I we did the video for Round Round – my cousin was really good with braids, so I did it that one time and that was it. I do like the braids.” Mutya added: “I love Keisha with braids.”

The Soundtrack of Style — Celebrating 30 Years at Cheshire Oaks. Sugababes were unveiled as the secret headliner of Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet’s 30th anniversary event, providing shoppers and the local community with the ultimate surprise and delight moment to celebrate three decades in fashion and business. The iconic pop group performed at the one-off non-ticketed event, supported by Take That’s Howard Donald and Hits Radio DJ and former Pussycat Dolls star Kimberly Wyatt to honour the outlet’s 30-year legacy.

Prince Harry and Meghan may no longer be able to live in the palace, but they are still holding the gates open for their children. Archie and Lilibet are reportedly happy for them to continue holding their titles, provoking debate over whether it’s about choice or mixed messages.

Despite Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepping away from their royal duties and all the palace drama a while ago, it seems they’re keeping the door open for their kids to walk a different path.

They reportedly want Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to hang onto their royal titles – just in case they decide they do want to be working royals one day. Apparently, Harry and Meghan see it as giving their kids the option when they’re older. But here’s where it gets a bit sticky, as the ‘plan’ comes after the source claimed the Sussexes feared passports for their children were being held up due to the use of their royal titles.

It has all raised a few eyebrows., with former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond asking why the Sussexes are holding so tightly to the titles when they’ve been so outspoken about wanting out of the royal system in the first place.

Holly Willoughby has been a household name on ITV for the past few decades, but it seems like she won’t be back on our screens anytime soon.

Due to Holly Willoughby being unable to appear in an upcoming TV show, her future career plans have reportedly been revealed. The actress has long been a household name on television, but it seems like she hasn’t got any upcoming projects to look forward to.

The 44-year-old is now at a point in her career where she hasn’t got a programme lined-up for the first time in 21 years. This comes as her usual presenting gig on Dancing On Ice has come to an end as the show has been axed.

Due to the cancellation of that job, Holly’s previous one, Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls, will no longer be able to do so. She also made a decision to leave You Bet! which means that Stephen Mulhern will be the show’s sole host.

According to reports, Holly’s husband, Dan Baldwin, is working on a remake of Record Breakers, giving her a chance to get a presenting job. According to a source, Holly’s inclusion would make “perfect sense.”

They stated that Holly’s takeover of Record Breakers would make perfect sense because it is likely to be a hit in the future. She has previously worked with Dan, and they are both knowledgeable about what makes a great television.

Holly has also been in amongst a few names that could be hosting the reboot of Cilla Black’s Blind Date. Other celebs that could be up include Claudia Winkleman and Davina McCall.

Another show Holly is being looked at for is a new Channel 4 programme where new undiscovered singers are found. Holly first returned back to TV last year after taking an 18 month break.

It has also been reported that ITV are keen to keep Holly as she recently met with Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment and daytime about future opportunities.

Holly always intended to lock in new presenting roles for ITV, which has been her main focus for a while, according to an insider. Due to the cards falling, she didn’t have anything confirmed until earlier this year, which is unfortunate because Holly has a number of exciting projects in hand for her in 2025.

Holly says, “Holly is looking forward, and this week’s meeting was one of the best examples.” There will be new entertainment formats instead of daytime programming. A documentary about Holly’s kidnapping was broadcast during the meeting.

Holly declined to participate in Channel 5’s documentary, The Plot To Kill Holly Willoughby, which told the story of the plot by obsessed security guard Gavin Plumb to kidnap, rape and murder her.

The traumatic experience is what led her to step down from her role on ITV1’s This Morning and take a break from television altogether.
