Myleene Klass told fans her ‘heart was about to run to the door’ after revealing that her eldest daughter, Ava, who she shares with ex-husband, Graham Quinn, was leaving home

Hear’Say star, Myleene Klass, sobs uncontrollably in her latest post on Instagram after revealing that her eldest daughter is moving out. The mum-of-three, 47, who shares Ava, 18, with her ex-husband, Graham Quinn, holds her head in her hands in the emotional video as she admits she ‘doesn’t know how she’s going to cope’.

Sporting a grey Sketchers hoodie, sitting in her car after an appointment at the opticians, Myleene explains her tear-stained face is a mixture of sadness – as well as trying on contact lenses for the first time.

Opening up about her heartache, she said: “So this is a combination of trying on contact lenses for the first time, just come from the opticians and crying in the opticians because he asked me how many children I have and their ages. I then just burst into tears and said ‘well three, but my 18-year-old is going to university in a few days’. I literally just cried all over him, which wasn’t ideal when he was fitting contact lenses.”

Myleene shares daughters Ava and Hero, 14, with ex-husband Graham and three-year-old son Apollo with fiancé Simon Motson.

Appealing to mums who have older children, she asked: “Mums, how do you do this? How do you say goodbye to your first love? Is this what I’m going to do for three years?

“I literally want this for her, but I don’t want it for me. My baby, she hasn’t even gone yet. Oh my god, how am I going to drive her there and drive home like this.”

“I’m just going to have to pull over and cry in the services.”

Sighing deeply, Myleene said she was being “ridiculous”, before adding: “But my heart is about to run to the door.” She concluded: “PS I promise I’m fine but doing the room lists, the shop for one and having them let you hug them loads, suddenly, you’ll know how bitter sweet this is.”

It comes as the Classic FM star was forced to defend Ava after some on social media branded her a ‘nepo baby’. The talented pianist got top marks at school this summer and won a coveted spot at the Royal Academy of Music.

However, after some suggested the teen had only got in because of her mum’s connections, Myleene told MailOnline: “She (Ava) has done the piano for eight hours a day, she went to the Royal Academy of Music, she had to audition, they didn’t just say ‘Myleene Klass’ daughter is showing up, give her a place’, she had to audition, and that’s the point.

“You could call my children nepo babies all day long, but they can play Rachmaninoff concertos like the best of them.

“To what end are you going to decide that that’s a nepo baby when they have worked and been on the grind for their own money and their own talent?”

As we head deeper into autumn, shoppers who struggle to wake on dark mornings won’t want to snooze on this deal that’s slashed a ‘game changing’ daylight lamp to its cheapest available price

It’s that time of year again when we’ll soon gain an extra hour in bed but have to say goodbye to the lighter evenings as winter approaches. However, there’s been some debate about whether this tradition should be ditched, with the British Sleep Society suggesting that natural morning light is beneficial for sleep, while changing the clocks can be harmful. This advice comes just as we’re about to put our clocks back, marking the end of British Summer Time (BST), or Daylight Saving Time.

Given the discussions around the benefits of waking up to natural light, shoppers might want to check out this Amazon find, which could revolutionise your wake-up routine during the dark and gloomy winter months – and it’s currently on sale.

This daylight lamp from Amazon has been dubbed a “game-changer” purchase by customers who’ve noticed a difference since using this alarm to wake up on dark mornings.

The device replicates the colours of a real sunrise and sunset using LED lights, offering adjustable bedroom lighting so you can relax at night and wake up properly in the morning. Known to help treat seasonal affective disorder, this lamp aims to help you fall asleep and wake up feeling fully refreshed and alert.

And right now, you can snap up this lamp for a cool 28% off in the sale, bringing the price down to £36.17, making Amazon the cheapest place to buy your own.

With the UK soon to return to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), as the clocks go back, a group of experts have spotlighted the advantages of this standard time. Prof von Schantz noted that GMT “aligns closely with the natural light-dark cycles of the day and night” and stressed that “natural daylight in the morning is crucial for maintaining an optimal alignment of our body clocks with day and night, which is essential for optimal sleep and overall health.”

Dr Crawford noted: “Mornings are the time when our body clocks have the greatest need for light to stay in sync,” she explained. “At our latitudes, there is simply no spare daylight to save during the winter months, and given the choice between natural light in the morning and natural light in the afternoon, the scientific evidence favours light in the morning.”

Available for £49 at Boots, John Lewis and Dunelm, Amazon is currently the cheapest place to pick up one of these Lumie Sunrise Lamps ahead of the winter mornings.

Shoppers who have picked up their own can’t stop singing its praises, as one buyer beams: “This is the BEST thing I have ever bought from Amazon. Having always been interested in buying a SAD lamp, I have been searching around for the best and most cost-effective, and this is it. I love this lamp so much. The features are exactly what I needed it for and it has improved my sleep and morning routine so much! A must buy, especially for those who struggle to wake up in the morning when it’s dark.”

Further accolades come from this customer, who says: “I’ve been using the Lumie Sunrise Alarm for nearly two weeks now, and it has certainly made a difference in my morning routine. Waking up in the morning has always been a struggle for me, and this alarm clock has helped to ease that struggle. However, my experience with this product has been mixed. The most significant advantage of the Lumie Sunrise Alarm is its ability to mimic a natural sunrise, gently waking me up with gradually increasing light intensity. This feature has been a game-changer for my mornings, making it much easier to get out of bed.”

This shopper does go on to note some disappointment, writing: “On the downside, the Lumie Sunrise Alarm has a few issues. Firstly, the build quality of the device leaves much to be desired. It does look and feel somewhat cheap, which is disappointing given its price point. Setting up the alarm can be a bit of a hassle, as it’s not as user-friendly as I would have liked. The user manual could use more detailed instructions to simplify the setup process. Additionally, I found the red light in the clock to be quite annoying when using the alarm as a bedside table clock during the night. It’s not adjustable in intensity, and it disrupted my sleep more than I anticipated.”

Emmerdale actress Amy Walsh and her EastEnders husband Toby-Alexander Smith are expecting their second child together and they took to Instagram to share the exciting news

Emmerdale actress Amy Walsh and her EastEnders husband Toby-Alexander Smith are expecting their second child. The pair revealed the exciting news on social media, sharing they were set to become a family of four.

The pair are already proud parents to daughter Bonnie, who was born in 2022, but they are now set to add another little one to their family. Revealing the news, they wrote: “Smith/Walsh baby 2.0 incoming 2026.”

Fans rushed to congratulate them on their news, with EastEnders star Clair Norris – who played Bernie Taylor – penned: “Sweetest video! Congratulations to you all!” Emmerdale actress Michelle Hardwick wrote: “So exciting!”

The couple are best known for their soap roles, with Amy playing Tracy Robinson in the ITV soap whilst Toby played EastEnders villain and serial killer Gray Atkins until his exit from the soap after the character was jailed.

Speaking recently, Amy admitted she found it hard to balance time with her family and her work. She explained: “It’s just a juggle, a struggle sometimes … I’ve barely seen him since we got married.

“We do feel like newlyweds, we haven’t been together that long in the grand scheme of things so our relationship is still quite new and fresh but then you throw a toddler in the mix and work commitments and it’s crazy.”

Amy and Toby got together in 2020 after meeting in the audience at Strictly Come Dancing a year before. Speaking about how becoming a parent changed them, Toby told OK! magazine: “We’ve always been a really good team anyway and I think Bonnie coming along has shown that we’re meant to be parents together, because we’re finding our roles.”

The pair’s love story kicked off in the audience at Strictly, which Amy described as a “twist of fate”.

She said: “The twists of fate that came into play to make us meet are crazy. Jamie Laing was supposed to be in it that year but he broke his ankle so Kelvin Fletcher replaced him, and Toby wasn’t even supposed to be in the audience that week.

“It only came out when we spoke to each other and we put two and two together and were like, ‘So you do that and I do that.’ We didn’t even say the words Emmerdale or EastEnders. After the show someone sent me a screenshot of us in the audience and I sent it to my best friend and joked, ‘Me and my future husband,’ just thinking it was going to be a date.”

Stacey Solomon is concerned that she is heading into an early menopause after experiencing a range of symptoms so has ruled out more kids if that is the case

Stacey Solomon is concerned that she is heading into an early menopause. The former Loose Women star, 35, is well over a decade away from the average age in which the reproductive stage for a woman ends, but can’t help but worry that it is coming sooner than normal after noticing just how ‘tired’ and ‘snappy’ she has been.

The TV star, who is married to ex-EastEnders actor Joe Swash and has Rex, five, Rose, three, and two-year-old Belle with him but also has Leighton, 13, and 17-year-old Zachary from previous relationships, has returned to screens alongside her husband with their BBC reality show Stacey & Joe, and on Tuesday’s episode, she had a candid chat with her sister Jemma.

As they spoke, Stacey reminded her sister that early menopause could potentially run in the family. She said: “I think I’m going through the menopause, I’m perimenopausal, I’m so snappy and tired. I wake up tired, I have eight hours’ sleep and I wake up and I’m exhausted. On mum’s side the menopause came early so we’re likely to go through it early too.”

Jemma, 36, who has three children herself, then joked to Stacey: “You’ve got to remember you have 18 children, 17 dogs, 45 chickens, you work full-time, you have a busy life.”

Stacey, who shot to fame as a contestant on The X Factor in her late teens and has since carved out a major career as a television personality, then ruled out the idea of having any more children if indeed she is heading for the menopause at this stage in life.

She said: “If you could test tolerance mine would be at its all time low. If I am going through the menopause and that’s it, no more children for me, then I think I will open an animal sanctuary.”

Later on, Stacey was joined by Joe, who also has Harry, 18, with his ex Emma Sophocleous, where she opened up to her personal physiologist Dr Olly, and told him: “I feel like I’m drying out. I think my ovaries are pruned and they have said goodbye.

“All my friends on Loose Women talk about it all the time. Some things I can’t relate to. But I do think that as I get older I do get more agitated.”

Later on, she told the camera: “My health anxiety started when I had Zach. I think when you have kids you start to recognise your own mortality. Meeting Olly and having that friend that can go down the rabbit hole with you has really helped.”

Women generally enter the menopause between 44 and 53 years old, and symptoms can include anxiety and depression as well as irregular periods, hot flashes and mood swings.

Even though Stacey has seemingly quashed the idea of having another child, insiders recently claimed to The Mirror that it wouldn’t be a ‘surprise’ to anyone if another little one arrived.

The source said: “They’ve both got so much love to give and Joe is the best, most hands-on dad. They would have another baby if the time was right, but their lives are so busy. They’ve talked about Joe having a vasectomy but even then they’ve joked about it being reversible. No one would be surprised if a number seven came along!”

The film about David Bowie, who died aged 69 in 2016, is expected to shed light on the music legend’s raunchy private life during his swift rise to fame in the 1970s

Hollywood bosses are embroiled in a bidding war over a biopic of David Bowie, it is reported.

The film is likely to lift the lid on the music legend’s private life during his rise to fame in the 1970s, a period during which Bowie had several top ten hits in the UK. Movie studios have expressed interest in taking up the option to turn the autobiography of Suzi Ronson, wife of Bowie’s right-hand man Mick Ronson, into a film, and so it has been auctioned for a deal.

The stylist helped create the singer’s famous Ziggy Stardust look, Bowie’s stage persona during 1972 and 1973. The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars became Bowie’s second most popular album in terms of record sales.

“The book has now been auctioned to be made into a major motion picture. It hasn’t been bought but we are hoping it will be soon and it will be a great movie about the Ziggy Stardust days and his rise to fame,” Suzi said.

Her book, Me And Mr Jones: My Life With David Bowie And The Spiders From Mars, was published last year. In it, the hairdresser refers to one-night stand with Bowie which happened while he was still married to his first wife Angie.

Speaking to The Sun, Suzi added: “The bedroom at his home was pink with a gold ceiling. Everybody thought he was so gay. I was curious about him. I think Angie set me up… David called me and said: ‘Why don’t you come over and do my hair?’ So I went up to London, had a great meal and he kind of seduced me.”

No further details about the big-budget film have been disclosed, and are unlikely to be until a contract is secured amid the Hollywood auction. It will therefore be released at least ten years after Bowie’s death, following an 18-month journey with cancer. The music superstar was 69 when he passed away in New York City on January 10, 2016.

Bowie’s own secret last project was discovered locked in his study by archivists – and it was a musical about the 18th century. Called The Spectator, its entire existence was unknown to even his closest friends but now the notes have now been donated to the V&A Museum, with the rest of Bowie’s archive.

Amid his ongoing feud with parents David and Victoria, Brooklyn Beckham is planning to open up a “Beck’s Buns” burger joint in the US – and it should open early next year

Brooklyn Beckham is set to a new burger business with the support of wife Nicola Peltz and her billionaire family, it is reported.

The chef’s company reportedly owns the trademark for “Beck’s Buns” and, having quietly revealed the branding for the burger bar last month, it is said he is now pushing to open the business within the next six months.

This is despite criticism in August for cooking videos shared online, including one in which Brooklyn, 26, served up a spaghetti carbonara for Nicola. Celebrity chef Aldo Zilli said Brooklyn “burned the bacon” in the Italian classic, also typically made with pasta, eggs, cheese and other ingredients.

But resilient Brooklyn has remained defiant and it is understood he is being backed in the new venture by Nicola’s family, including her billionaire businessman father Nelson. A source said: “It’s been something Brooklyn has always wanted to do. He has the full support of Nicola and her family, including her businessman dad Nelson, and is excited about the future.”g

Brooklyn tinkered with the application of his trademark after a row with the beer brand Beck’s. It is now understood he has overcome this challenge and his dream is becoming closer to reality.

The insider told The Sun: “He has created Beck’s Buns and quietly launched it on social media last month. Brooklyn’s company Buster Hot Sauce Inc owns the trademark and he is planning to open a restaurant.

“The issue with the trademark is all-but resolved now after Brooklyn made it clear that he wasn’t making booze but wanted it for a restaurant. The menu is still being decided but it’ll be high quality burgers with his signature Buster hot sauces.”
