Strictly star announces birth of second child after partner’s hidden pregnancy

Strictly Come Dancing star Seann Walsh has revealed that he’s recently become a father again. The comedian, 38. took to social media to share the news of their new arrival, after keeping his partner Grace Adderley’s pregnancy under wraps.

The couple, who have maintained a low profile, welcomed a baby girl in February 2023. However, Seann seemingly confirmed they are now parents of two when he posted a photo on Instagram.

Alongside the image of his daughter covered in food, Seann shared, “My first five minutes of being left alone with Wylda and our newborn Casper. S*** just got real”.

Fans were taken by surprise when Seann later admitted he fainted during Grace’s first labour. The comedian revealed the news in a video from the hospital, expressing gratitude for the “amazing” hospital staff who helped them.

He also gave an amusing account of his own reaction to the situation, writing: “I passed out during the birth. Of course I did. The nurse’s response? ‘ Men. ‘ Fair”.

The comic has been in a relationship with dance teacher Grace, 32, since 2018. This is shortly after his controversial appearance on Strictly, where he made headlines for kissing his married dance partner, Katya Jones.

Seann and Grace first shared the pregnancy news during an Instagram Live while on tour. Seann also became a first-time dad shortly after finishing 5th on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2022.

Last year, Seann revealed that he still suffers from the after effects of his time on the BBC show where he was embroiled in a cheating scandal. When he appeared on the hit show, he was caught kissing his professional dancer Katya Jones and this caused a ripple effect of destruction.

Katya split from her husband and professional dancer Neil Jones, while Seann’s relationship with Rebecca Humphries also came to an end. Soon after news broke of the cheating scandal, Seann spiralled out of control and suffered with depression and panic attacks.

Seven years later, he is still not fully recovered. Speaking of his post-traumatic stress, he said in a recent interview: “I do not dance. What it is more actually is when you turn up to any car park or something, and it says, ‘ Strictly No Parking’. I still just go, ‘ Arghh’, every time I see it”.

In a candid chat with fellow comedian Russell Howard on his Wonderbox podcast, he added: “I can hear the word — like a dog hearing something — I can just hear the word strictly and I still go, ‘ Arghh! ‘”

Desperate to put the ordeal behind him, Seann decided to jump straight back into stand up shows and performing. But now on reflection, he admitted it was too soon. He continued: “I went back too soon — that’s for sure. You’ve got to kind of let audiences, or the public, almost let them get over it.

” But I wanted to kind of fight it. I didn’t want this thing that was happening to my life to take away the only thing that I had. “Seann rebuilt his life and in 2022 he quit alcohol and went on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here – in the hope of changing public opinion.

Mark Wright reveals one aspect of parenthood he wasn’t warned about before baby’s birth

Former TOWIE star Mark Wright has opened up about the difficulties of looking after a newborn after his wife Michelle Keegan gave birth to their first child together this month

Mark has been candid about balancing work and parenthood

Mark Wright has been open about the struggles of parenthood following the birth of his daughter, Palma. The 38-year-old former The Only Way Is Essex star and his actress wife, Michelle Keegan, 37, welcomed their adorable daughter earlier this month.

Although the TV star has called the experience “the biggest achievement of my life,” he has been honest about the challenges that come with having a newborn, especially the sleepless nights. Speaking on Heart FM radio show on Saturday morning, Mark discussed the difficulties of being a first-time parent with his co-host, Olly Murs.

The comment came after they read a message from a listener who found sorting through clothes “exhausting”. Mark playfully remarked: “Lisa, I’ve got to address what you just said about being tired from sorting clothes—don’t even talk to me about being tired right now”.

“Because Palma, my little one, is keeping me beyond tired. I walked in this morning, and Olly goes, ‘ You look wiped out. ‘” Olly laughed and pointed out the change in Mark’s appearance, saying it was the first time he’d noticed little bags under his eyes, joking that it’s a “dad thing” that comes with parenthood.

The 40-year-old former X Factor star said: “You know what, it’s your eyes, it is the first time I’ve seen these little bags in all the years I’ve known you, just here, and it is a dad thing, it is a parent thing, all of a sudden you get these little bags under your eyes.” To which Mark responded: “Yeah, they say dad bod don’t they, they never warn you about dad eyes'”

Despite the struggle, the reality TV star previously gushed over his daughter in an emotional interview – as he gave a tribute to his wife and other mums. He started his speech by saying: “It’s actually hard to put it into words, I’ll start by saying it’s the biggest achievement of my life.

“It’s all I think about, but obviously, hat goes off to my wife, she’s an absolute superhuman superhero for bringing this baby into the world. And it makes you realise, like what our mums did for us, and makes me have so much more respect than I already had and what women have to go through.

“But other than that, it’s the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face. Every time I wake up, I’m like, ‘ oh, she’s there’, and that moment when I held her in my arms, I mean, it gets me emotional now thinking about it.

” But it’s just, I suppose, everything else goes out the window, and it’s made me realise what life is all about. And my little baby, Palma, I love you so much, I can’t wait to spend my life with you. “

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury step out together after reunion confession

Love Island’s Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury were seen joking around in new snaps ahead of Mother’s Day. The cute outing follows Molly-Mae admitting she’s ‘ not ready ‘ to discuss their reunion

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury look relaxed as they’re seen together before Mother’s Day

Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury were spotted looking comfortable together ahead of Mother’s Day. The couple met up this week to hand over their daughter, Bambi, as they continue to co-parent amid their split – which shocked fans when it was announced last year.

The duo, who have been confusing fans with their supposed reunion, looked happy in each other’s company this week. In new snaps, Molly-Mae was fresh-faced as she rocked black joggers, a black shirt and a green jacket as she talked to her ex-fiancé. Tommy, 25, carried Bambi as they talked by her vehicle.

Tommy enjoyed the sunshine as he donned grey shorts and a black sweatshirt for the occasion. He had a smile on his face as the duo chatted for a few minutes.

Molly-Mae’s mother was also with the duo ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday. In recent months, the former had been keeping a low profile following their shock break up in August 2024.

Despite once appearing to be the strongest couple to come out of ITV’s Love Island, the reality star and her boxer fiancé announced their decision to end their engagement, leaving fans bewildered.

It later emerged that Tommy, 25, shared the reason behind their decision to part ways due to issues surrounding his alcohol consumption. But over Christmas, the Mirror revealed that the pair had secretly “rekindled” their romance and were keeping things between themselves.

Earlier this month, the reality stars seemingly confirmed their relationship when they jetted off to Dubai together with their baby daughter, Bambi. In her latest YouTube video, she discussed their relationship and told fans they’re “just figuring things out”.

She added to her two million subscribers: “We had a really really amazing time, probably the best holiday ever for all of us. It’s not I’m hiding it, I’m not quite ready to talk about it.

” It’s also as private, but also it’s not really private. When you have a relationship in the public eye, trying to rebuild that relationship or work on that relationship or see if you have something worth saving…

“You can’t figure things out the way a normal relationship would. You can’t do the normal things a coupe trying to work on their relationship normally do”.

Speaking to Bambi, she added: “We’re just figuring things out and seeing how it goes”.

Molly and Tommy had hinted that they were away together on social media, both sharing snaps from the same hotel to their millions of online fans but kept quiet about their joint trip.

The Who’s Roger Daltrey reveals vision and hearing decline during London charity concert

The Who’s Roger Daltrey opened up about his own health problems, which includes his hearing and vision declining, on stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Thursday night

The Who’s Roger Daltrey has opened up about getting old

The Who’s Roger Daltrey says “he’s going blind” as he opened up about “getting old”. Playing to a packed crowd at London’s Royal Albert Hall with the band on Thursday night, frontman Roger, 81, made the frank admission. Sporting purple-tinted glasses for the show, he revealed that they weren’t just a fashion statement.

“The joys of getting old,” he began. “Not only am I going deaf, I’m also now going blind.” He added: “Fortunately I still have my voice, because if I lose that I’ll have the full Tommy!” Meanwhile Pete Townshend admitted that he had a “complete knee replacement” just four and a half weeks before taking the stage. “But because I’m Superman, I’m here!” Pete shouted to the crowd. “Maybe I should auction off the old one. Elton John had one done, and he wears his as a bracelet. Unfortunately, mine’s in three bits.”

He later popped a painkiller while on stage, and admitted that he doesn’t like taking as many as he ought to or it impacts the music. “It’s suddenly disconnected my brain from my fingers. We do four days of rehearsal, and most of it was a bit of a muddle for me,” he said.

“You know, tonight isn’t perfect but it could have been f**king worse! You’ll probably notice I’m a bit wobbly, just making sure they’re playing the right notes,” he later jibed at his band, threatening to have a proper dance despite the recent surgery as Daltrey ran over to laughingly stop his pal from wildly jumping around. The event was in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, with 1980s jazz-funk band Level 42 opening the show at the sold-out event. Dressed casually in jeans and t-shirts, originals Roger and Pete were supported by their vibrant younger protegees, including Zak Starkey, the son of Ringo Starr of The Beatles on the drums.

Playing hits I Can’t Explain and Who Are You, they take to the stage again tomorrow night for a second date.

Despite their ailments, the original pair still act like rockstars, with Daltrey peacocking and swinging the mic around while Townshend danced along as his riffs blasted out at an insane pace.

And the crowd were in raptures, with one fan commented: “It was the best I’ve ever seen them”.

Daltrey and Townshend have been involved in the Teenage Cancer Trust for decades and raised thousands for the charity. Daltry founded the concerts in 2000, but announced last year that he was stepping down as curator, allowing The Cure’s Robert Smith to take the reins.

Daltrey said he’s been so lucky to live the life he has with The Who, and that even as he ages what he’s going though is a “piece of p**s” compared to being a young person with cancer.

Inside Harry’s new life as Meghan’s spare as ‘lonely’ prince ‘barely leaves mansion’

Prince Harry’s life in California grows increasingly isolated as he becomes sidelined in his marriage to Meghan Markle, with strained family ties and no royal duties

As Megxit marks its fifth anniversary, Prince Harry’s life in California paints a different picture from the confident, outgoing royal figure he once was. Whilst no longer the ‘spare’ to the British throne, many are wondering if Harry has become a ‘spare’ in his own marriage to Meghan Markle.

Harry’s isolation came in a telling moment when Harry learned of his father King Charles’ hospitalisation due to side effects from his cancer treatment from the news this Thursday just like the rest of the world. Living 5,000 miles away, he heard about the King’s medical situation from the media, not directly from his family.

King Charles, 76, required hospital observation after experiencing temporary side-effects from his ongoing cancer treatment. The King, who was diagnosed with cancer in February 2024, underwent a scheduled treatment that required a brief hospital stay.

His afternoon engagements were postponed, and he later resumed his work after returning to Clarence House. While the Palace confirmed it was a minor issue, the timing of the announcement highlighted how much distance has come between Harry and the family.

Harry’s relationship with his family has been strained and his relationship with his brother, Prince William, is especially tense, with reports claiming they rarely speak anymore. In 2023, Harry was reportedly granted only a brief meeting with his father after King Charles’ cancer diagnosis.

Harry’s life post-Megxit has largely been defined by his separation from royal duties and his transition into private life. However, it seems that, more than ever, Harry is becoming a ‘spare’ in his own marriage. While Meghan thrives in her solo projects, including her lifestyle brand As Ever, popular Netflix series and podcast ventures, Harry has mostly stayed out of the spotlight.

“First he was a spare to William, now he’s increasingly looking like a spare to Meghan – and it’s not a great look,” a source told The Sun.

The prince has become increasingly isolated since he left Britain nearly five years ago and doesn’t even speak to his cousin Princess Eugenie, who he was once really close to. Harry and Meghan had even bought an investment property in Portugal near the home Eugenie shares with her husband Jack, but it’s understood the friendship suffered after she was photographed last April with Piers Morgan — a strong critic of Harry and Meghan.

“A dim view was taken of this, as Piers has clashed with Meghan and Harry in the past”, a friend said. “Eugenie has been supportive of Harry and Meghan for years and was right there at the beginning of their relationship — but it has now soured”.

Living in their sprawling Montecito mansion, Harry’s social life is said to be much quieter than it used to be and insiders revealed lonely Harry rarely leaves the couple’s mansion. His friend group has shrunk, with one source noting that Harry’s only remaining friends are the husbands of Meghan’s friends. This isolation contrasts sharply with Harry’s former life, previously surrounded by a busy social circle and public commitments.

The couple’s professional paths have also begun to diverge more noticeably. In what’s been described as a “conscious business uncoupling,” Meghan has focused on her brand, while Harry’s professional life has taken a quieter turn. His role in their joint projects has taken a back seat, with Harry only appearing briefly in Meghan’s Netflix series With Love, Meghan.

In addition, it is understood that there are no plans for any more Netflix shows, with Harry either in front of or behind the camera, as the deal runs out.

Harry’s position with BetterUp Inc., an online coaching company, seems to be one of the few remaining commitments he holds onto, although this is not a public-facing role. Meanwhile, Meghan’s projects, including her upcoming podcast, continue to gain attention.

Despite the growing distance between them, Harry remains a devoted father to his children, Archie and Lilibet. However, there are differing views between him and Meghan on how much their children should be in the public eye. While Harry, who values privacy, wants to keep their children out of the spotlight, Meghan has been more willing to use their children as part of her brand.

Harry’s life continues to evolve in ways he may not have expected, his role as a royal ‘ spare ‘ has now shifted into a more passive role in his marriage, with Meghan taking charge of her career while Harry remains largely sidelined. While Meghan continues to push forward with her career, Harry seems to be lost in the background, isolated from both his family and his former royal life.

But the love doesn’t just stop there, as this product boasts an impressive 4.5 out of 5-star rating from hundreds of customers on Space NK’s website. One thrilled shopper shares: “I’d wanted this for so long and always bailed because of the price and inability to try it anywhere. I treated myself a few weeks ago and it’s crazy good. Just the right amount of shimmer. It makes you look fantastic and I’ve had five people tell me I have great skin recently on different occasions so I’m definitely happy with the purchase”.

More adoration comes from this buyer, who beams: “It was the influencer on Insta that reeled me in to buying this and I’m so happy she did. I’m about to be 50 and I did not want an intense glow I wanted something subtle, and it is a product that I cannot live without. I use this product every day. LOVE IT”!

And similar sentiments are shared by this costumer, who writes: “One of my first RMS purchases that stands the test of time. Only issue is the packaging, not a fan of using a spatula or fingers if you can’t find it! Especially hard for travel. Make it in the squeeze bottles like the eyeshadows! A little goes a long way. Gives a very glowy from within vibe. Natural and dewy”!

While a fourth gushes: “I don’t usually wear make-up, but have loved the RMS products for my dulling and ageing skin. This luminizer is a game-changer”.

The Duchess of Sussex’s favourite highlighter is available for £39 from Space NK, Cult Beauty, and RMS’s own site, or savvy shoppers who act fast can purchase it for the slightly discounted price of £32 from Free People.
