TV presenter Laura Woods has opened up about the “very awful times” she and fiancé Adam Collard have endured after she suffered a miscarriage.

Laura, 38, posted on Instagram a clip of Adam on Channel 4 show Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and gushed about her “big, beautiful man” in the wake of their tragedy. When former Love Island contestant Adam, 29, took part in the programme, he burst into tears as he recalled the miscarriage.

Adam talked about losing his unborn child in the video Laura posted yesterday. Laura captioned her post, “We really had some very bad times last year, but this big, beautiful man has got me through them all,” and I’m so proud to have watched him go through it. “

Laura and Adam have been dating since October 2023. They became engaged in September last year and welcomed a son named Leo in January this year. The mum said her son has helped her find comfort during her difficult time.

In addition, a further Instagram post states, “Sometimes I look at Leo and think of the baby we’ll never meet, but I’m aware that we wouldn’t have Leo without it.” It’s very perplexing to feel.

“When it happened a wonderful nurse in the hospital said to me – this little one wasn’t meant for this world, so this process is its way of keeping you safe… And that really did fill me with a lot of comfort. So I thought I’d share that in case there’s anyone reading that has been affected by miscarriage too. Lots of love.”

Personal trainer Adam paid tribute to Laura, who works for ITV among other broadcasters, in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. The dad, originally from Newcastle, even said he felt it was “bad karma” for his previous “love rat” persona.

After a difficult few months, the father almost gave up on Celeb SAS. When it was so close to getting there a second time and telling everyone, he said, “We, erm, lost something.”

The staff informed him that he was discussing a miscarriage as the tears began to fall, and Adam nodded. The personal trainer continued, “I think I was proud of the fact that I was excited for it, which I didn’t think I ever would be,” and that when it was taken away, which was ten times worse for her, it hit us like a ton of bricks.

Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes admits fatherhood is ‘hectic’ after welcoming twins

After revealing, “I feel like a different human being,” the Bring Me The Horizon frontman admitted to having fathered children while playing at the Reading festival.

Oli Sykes, a 38-year-old singer from Bring Me The Horizon, has been called “hectic,” but he wouldn’t change that.

When it comes to welcoming new additions into the family, new parents can often feel overwhelmed by the multitude of demands suddenly placed upon their time. Yet one parent that appears to be in his element, is Bring Me The Horizon’ s Oli Sykes, who welcomed twins with his wife Alissic back in July.

“I’m feeling good, yeah,” he told NME. “[The twins] have been sleeping, so it’s been alright. It’s been hectic but not too bad.”

Oli has even discovered that having embraced fatherhood with both hands has given him a new lease of leave, and the singer has been flourishing with a new sense of purpose and passion in his day-to-day life more than ever.

Sykes said, “I definitely feel like a different human being.”

Elaborating on how things had changed for him in particular ahead of this year’s headline performance at Reading festival, he added: “I’ve actually never felt so calm and peaceful before a headline festival. I’m usually way more stressed than this!”

Oli explained that prior to a performance, he had found himself worrying about everything that could possibly go wrong on stage, including his worries about making a fool of himself by hitting a bum note and making a fool of himself. By going into detail and recording exactly how he was feeling, Oli explained.

His newborn twins have instead opened his eyes to the realization that the “most important thing” was now “waiting for him at home,” which is no longer the case since having children.

He acknowledged that it has instantly destroyed so much of what he had previously. I used to keep up with worrying about minor things with a band while also worrying about my regrets, fears, the future, and what might happen. It was simply destroyed by having kids overnight. ”

It had greatly reduced the workload. Although having children is hectic, it has taken a lot from me in another country. Never thought that my attempts to get to this place would be led by my children. ”

Oli acknowledged that he has grown up and thrived since becoming a father, which has helped him overcome his anxieties.

Oli’s fatherhood seems to be something he has more than willingly accepted, but it also comes with a price because the 38-year-old star admits that it means the music for Bring Me The Horizon was produced much more slowly, which isn’t always a bad thing for Oli or his bandmates.

He told the publication, “We’re still making music, but it’s a little slower because we’re working remotely and delegating.” Additionally, it is what I enjoy doing at the same time. I’m working on it, but I don’t need to finish it. I don’t feel down when we enter the studio and when we don’t finish it. It is just getting more and more slowly. ”

Davina McCall reveals ‘terrifying’ thoughts about death after brain tumour surgery

Davina McCall, a television host and podcaster, has recovered from a brain tumor and is back in style this year. She also acknowledges that while she is frightened of passing away, she has “comed’ with it.”

After receiving the all-clear, Davina is enjoying life and anticipating the future.

TV presenter Davina McCall has told how her brain tumour affected her life and family relationships – and she urged them to bond together if she died. The 57-year-old TV host underwent an operation to remove a benign brain tumour that has left her “not afraid of dying any more”.

In a new interview with Good Housekeeping UK, Davina opened up on her earlier fears: “I’ve been terrified of dying my whole life – my mum died quite young, my dad died quite young, and my sister died very young.

What must I do to make that okay since I have to accept the fact that I might not make it? I had to accept the outcome and sleep soundly without experiencing the utter horror of death.

“If I go, I really need you to stay plugged in to the kids (Holly, Tilly, and Chester), who she shares with her ex-husband Matthew Robertson,” she told her partner, Michael Douglas.

We told one another that, even though we were both scared, we were open to it. Knowing that everything was ready made things easier.

In April, the former Big Brother presenter confirmed her “final MRI” had shown a colloid cyst, which she had removed in November 2024, is “not coming back”, after it was found when she was offered a health check-up as part of her menopause advocacy work. Davina also spoke about how she and stylist partner Michael told her children about the tumour in the interview.

She continued, “Michael and I just had a leisurely conversation in the kitchen.” Look, we know what it is and where it is; it’s quite uncommon, but we’ve found someone who has had the operation before and feels confident.

“I didn’t talk to them about dying, but I did write a letter to each of them and made my will.” I said, “You’re all great kids and you’ll all be fine if I don’t make it.” Of course, I want to make it, but if I don’t, you’ll all turn out great.

I don’t want to read the letters right now because I feel like I’ve passed away, but I do want them to know how proud I am of them. “Davina spent time in intensive care following her surgery, and now she is recovering at home with the assistance of her long-term partner. She recalled how her partner responded to her short-term memory issues following surgery and how happy she was that their relationship was now back to normal.

Michael has been incredibly helpful with all of this. Looking after someone who is sorely needed and vulnerable is exhausting. I once found his behavior to be a little odd, but I had no idea why. I said to him, “Michael, I’ve noticed you don’t want to be around me much.” I get it if you have a different opinion of me. He claimed that it was because I was “annoying at the moment,” and that I had never felt so relieved to be told I was annoying. Because I kept asking the same questions over and over again, I knew I was. At that, we both had a sharp laugh.

Davina once more appears as a cover girl.

She spoke about the removal of the tumour while co-presenting this year’s Red Nose Day for Comic Relief and said it was “the hardest thing I’ve ever been through”.

According to the NHS, non-cancerous brain tumours are more common in people over the age of 50, and symptoms include headaches, vision problems and drowsiness, and some can be “difficult to remove without damaging surrounding tissue”. Looking ahead, Davina insisted she was stepping into a new chapter with courage and a reclaimed sense of who she is:

She said, “I’ve told myself I’m not smart, and I’ve talked myself down my entire life.” I had a hard time getting my math grade A level because I was very unhappy and was taking a lot of drugs at the time. However, as a result of all of this, I’ve had verbal and nonverbal reasoning memory tests, and I came out really well. Although it shouldn’t have to be taken in that way, I’ve come to the realization that I’m much smarter than I think.

“Nothing makes me feel afraid right now.” I’ll even retake my math A level the following summer. If you’ve always wanted to do something and can afford it right away, “f*** it!”

Davina, the host of new BBC romance reality show Stranded On Honeymoon Island, has long advocated for women’s health issues, and has presented a documentary called Sex, Myths And The Menopause and another on contraception called Davina McCall’s Pill Revolution.

She received a special award at the National Television Awards in 2024 for her broadcasting career and received an MBE in the King’s Birthday honors in 2023.

Celebrity Big Brother’s Mickey Rourke unrecognisable after controversial TV stint

Mickey Rourke, a famous Big Brother star, was kicked out of the BB house earlier this year after being accused of using inappropriate language and showing unacceptable behavior.

Celebrity Big Brother star Mickey Rourke looked unrecognisable in pictures taken outside his Los Angeles home, months after he was kicked off the reality programme for his behaviour.

After further “use of inappropriate language” and “instances of unacceptable behavior,” including using “sexual language” in conversation with reality TV star Ella Rae Wise, actor Rourke, who is well-known for his roles in The Wrestler and Sin City, was expelled from the BB house.

Since his departure from the show, Mickey was rarely seen out and about upon returning to Los Angeles. However, he was recently spotted briefly popping his head out of his house to pick up food that was delivered to him.

He was seen sporting his natural grey hair in a cropped style while renowned for his long, brown hair on the show. Additionally, the actress donned a silver chain with a heart pendant, a black zip hoodie with no shirt on underneath, and green sweatpants.

As he picked up the silver package and the white bag of food, he paused for a moment. In a home in Beverly Hills with a run-down front door and an overgrown garden full of dead vines, Mickey resides.

When Mickey was kicked out of the show over his actions months ago, an ITV spokesperson released a statement on their decision and said: “Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour.”

Mickey later apologized, saying, “I stepped over the line and I accept responsibility for the wrong thing.” Because I lost my temper, and I’ve tried to control it my entire life, I regret my actions.

He continued, “I’m embarrassed of losing it for a brief moment there. Nobody was hurt or touched by anything. You know, I’m sorry about that, but maybe some feelings got hurt or maybe others had feelings about others getting upset.

Following Mickey’s firing for making homophobic remarks to reality star JoJo Siwa, more than 1, 000 complaints were made about Celebrity Big Brother.

The actor, who is renowned for producing the films Iron Man 2, 9 1/2 Weeks, and Sin City, admitted before leaving the house that he had a “short fuse” and that he had tried everything to get out of here.

Danny Beard came in second, followed by soap star Jack P Shepherd, who won Big Brother in the end.

Meanwhile, fellow CBB stars JoJo and Chris Hughes went on to date in the real world after forming a close relationship in the house.

Freddie Mercury’s ‘secret love child’ furiously slams ‘inaccurate’ biopic

Freddie Mercury reportedly had a “secret” child, and she has since criticised the 2018 biopic Bohemian Rhapsody, which featured Rami Malek as the late singer.

A woman who claims to be the daughter of the late Freddie Mercury has criticised the biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. She alleges that the acclaimed film is “full of fabrication” and that the singer-songwriter would have been “appalled” by it.

It was reported earlier this year that Queen vocalist Freddie, who died, aged 45, back in 1991, had a ‘secret’ child, whose identity has not been revealed. It’s been claimed that he fathered a daughter with the wife of a friend in the 1970s.

The news came ahead of the biography Love, Freddie being released next month. It’s expected to delve into the claim that Freddie had a child and his supposed daughter is said to have spoken to the book’s author, Lesley-Ann Jones.

Now, ahead of its publication, the woman claiming to be his daughter has spoken out over the film Bohemian Rhapsody, which was released in 2018. Starring Rami Malek in the lead role, it focused on aspects of Freddie’s life.

For instance, the Oscar-winning movie followed Queen’s rise to fame and Freddie’s solo career. Additionally, it explored his relationship with Mary Austin and delved into the band’s 1985 Live Aid performance at Wembley Stadium.

The woman who claims to be Freddie’s child came forward merely to correct “a movie that is full of fabrication” prior to the biography’s release, according to the Sun. There are a number of things the outlet seemed to be worried about.

She claimed that Rami, an actor, “never smiled or looked happy,” contrary to what is said to have caused her to complain. She also claims producers of errors about the dates and how Freddie’s Aids diagnosis was handled.

The woman made the claim that Freddie’s life has been “distorted, twisted, and rewritten” since his death, and that he would have had to give him some input before deciding to block the movie. He would have been “appalled,” she told the outlet, according to her statement.

She added that if the late performer had been present, his hair would have “stretched for the duration” of the performance. She continued, “This film presents a version of him so far removed from the truth,” in a conversation with Bohemian Rhapsody.

Freddie’s bandmate Brian May, who is said to have been a consultant on the film, defended Bohemian Rhapsody against criticism over inaccuracies in 2019. Addressing critics who took issue with the timeline, he told Guitar World that those behind the film weren’t making a documentary.

He claimed, “We weren’t producing a documentary.” It wasn’t meant to be “this happened, and then this happened.” This attempt was made to explore Freddie Mercury’s innermost self, displaying his drive, passion, fears, and flaws.

They added that Freddie would “love it” and that they wanted to portray his relationship with his bandmates. The guitarist claimed in the interview that the interview is a “good, honest portrayal” of his late bandmate.

Producer Graham King has previously said that it isn’t a documentary. As reported after the premiere of the film, he said in 2018: “[Freddie’s bandmates] were very opinionated in the early days about the movie they wanted. I told May, ‘We’re making a film, not a documentary’.”

She continued, “I don’t know if I ever will,” adding, “I’ve never discussed the causes of our divorce.” It was challenging at times. You’re aware that I didn’t just choose to do it over the course of a few hours or that our team did it.

“We tried, and, you know, there was no repairing it, you know? “, we said. I’ll always, always love him as the child’s father, and that is a testament to how much I still reside at home with him.

She has been paying the divorce costs, despite the fact that they still reside together for the benefit of their children. She acknowledged, “I paid for my own divorce, not anyone else, for the biggest bill I have ever paid in my life.”

In 2022, the pair announced their separation in a joint Instagram story, which read: “We hadn’t planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but the lack of privacy surrounding our personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify.

We made the difficult choice to separate a while ago, but our main goal is always to continue supporting and loving our children. Although it wasn’t an easy choice, we’re making the best decisions for our three adorable children.

We’ll always be a loving family, and we’ll still live happily together in our shared home. We’re hoping that this now removes any further unnecessary and unwanted intrusion into our private lives.

Although we are in the public eye, we would appreciate your cooperation in this regard. There will be no further comment.
