Sue Radford’s daughter, Chloe, who appears in Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting with her famous family, is expecting her second child imminently and has updated fans

Sue Radford’s daughter has updated fans on her “scary” pregnancy in news which she admits is “nerve-wracking”. Chloe, 29, who appears in Channel 5’s 22 Kids and Counting with her famous family, is expecting her second child, which will be Sue and Noel’s sixteenth grandchild, imminently.

The reality star, who is already mum to daughter, Mila, is expecting a baby boy with her security guard boyfriend, Jacob Wallace, and is now 38 weeks pregnant. Taking to TikTok, updating her 100,000 followers on her health, Chloe assured fans her baby is “absolutely fine”, but revealed she has been suffering with high blood pressure and has now got an induction date booked in as a result.

Sitting in her bedroom, wearing an oversized t-shirt, she said: “Hey, guys, so update on where we’re at with pregnancy and everything like that – I went to the day assessment unit today and they were monitoring my blood pressure again and I was on the monitor as well.

“Baby boy is very happy in there – he’s absolutely fine. “

Explaining she didn’t know why her blood pressure was high, she continued: “My blood pressure – so they do it four times over the space of an hour – and it was ok the first two times and then the other two times it was high again. I don’t know why, because I was literally just sat relaxing, so I have no idea why.

“I also had my bloods taken, which I should get the results in the next day or so and I think that’s just testing for pre-eclampsia.

“My blood pressure is still high for some reason, so they’ve upped it to three blood pressure tablets instead of two a day. ”

Chloe, who is Noel and Sue’s second eldest daughter then added: “And exciting news is that we have an induction date which is not far away.

“It’s really, really exciting, but it’s also really scary and nerve-racking. I know that we’ve really not got long now until we meet him and have him in our arms, so that’s exciting.

“That is obviously only if he doesn’t come beforehand, which I don’t think he will, to be honest. ”

Suggesting her bundle of joy was quite happy where he was for the time being, Chloe, who also works as a manager at her father’s bakery, Radford Pie Company, concluded: “He seems very comfortable in there. “

Responding to her health update on TikTok, Chloe’s fans shared their experiences of being induced, as one told the mum-of-one to prepare for a ‘long wait’. Giving their advice, they said said: “I was induced with my third baby, the pessary never worked but the hormone drip did. It was a lot of waiting around.

“Unfortunately it took four days until I eventually had him. Be prepared to pack more. ”

However, another shared: ““I was induced at 37 weeks due to having high blood pressure. I had a really positive experience.

“Had my waters broke at 11:53am and then had the hormone drip a couple of hours later. ”

You didn’t need to know much about boxing to understand the power of two images from Saturday night.

First the winner, Chris Eubank Jr, who’d arrived for the fight with his ­previously estranged dad Chris Sr, providing a shock show of support. Then the devastated loser, Conor Benn, sharing an emotional hug with his dad Nigel in the ring for what seemed like an eternity.

They were pictures that reinforced the importance of fatherhood. The beauty of a bond that should never be broken between a dad and his son.

You can write (and read) millions of words, spend hours listening to podcasts and tap into all the experts you like on the subject of toxic masculinity. But for the testosterone-fuelled young men around the country who’d tuned in to the fight on Saturday, the show of love between fathers and sons will have hit home far harder.

As a dad I hug my sons as often as I can. They clean me out but I’m proud of them. I tell them as much at every opportunity. We are not afraid to say so publicly. Why should we be? But I’m also aware that they are surrounded by a generation of teenagers growing up in a fractured culture within which many young people are unable to express themselves, period, let alone their deeper emotions.

So the Benn and Eubank images carried more significance than we could ever have imagined. Eubank Sr beat Conor’s dad, Nigel, 35 years ago in a boxing bout that marked both down as warriors.

The pair then shared a contentious draw three years later. While Nigel has been ever-present for Conor since, Eubank Sr and his son were understood to have been estranged for several years.

Just days before last Saturday’s bout, Eubank Jr spoke of his “pain” after his dad had called the whole thing a “circus” and his son a “disgrace”. Benn Jr had even taunted the younger Eubank about his turmoil in the ­build-up. So when both Eubanks emerged from a car together for the contest in North London, it drew an almighty gasp from fans in the venue watching on the big screens.

It also produced one of boxing’s iconic images as the Benn camp watched in disbelief in their dressing room. Macho pride and ego were supposed to have kept the Eubanks apart. Their reconciliation inspired their victory. “Whether I am ringside or in his corner, I am here,” Eubank Sr said.

Just as Benn Sr was in those moments after the fight when his beaten, broken, 28-year-old son clutched him like a baby. It was a message that transcended the nonsense of boxing, even though the fight itself was an instant classic. It will have planted a seed inside more sitting rooms around the country than their occupants would care to admit.

And while both younger men punched each other to a standstill to embarrass so many of boxing’s anti-climaxes, their conduct before and after has left an even more striking legacy. Because while the Netflix drama Adolescence warns us of the machismo creeping up on our kids, these four men have contributed towards an antidote.

Celebrity Big Brother star Chris Hughes has been accused by trolls of being too old to be close with his co-star JoJo Siwa after they struck up a bond on the ITV reality show

Celebrity Big Brother star Chris Hughes has hit back after trolls branded his 11-year age gap with JoJo Siwa “creepy”. Chris, 32, and JoJo, 21, have been at the centre of romance rumours since forming a close friendship inside the Big Brother house – which involved intimacies such as massages and forehead kisses.

The pair have continued to see each other since the show’s final on Friday, which has fuelled further speculation about the nature of their relationship. Chris found himself the target of online abuse after JoJo was spotted leaving the UK today wearing his clothes. A troll commented under a photo of them playing tennis, claiming their friendship was “inappropriate”.

Chris quickly fired back, saying: “I have friends who are 50+ too, you weirdo. ” Despite all the speculation, both JoJo and Chris have insisted their bond is purely platonic.

During an appearance on This Morning Chris explained: “It’s just a really strong bond between two people, which is just a strong friendship.

“And I think you can have like a soulmate friendship. And to me it’s like that energy of where it’s not like the standard friendship that you have with your friends. But you know it’s still a friendship, and it’s just nice. “

Although JoJo also confirmed they are not dating, her response hinted at very strong feelings for the Love Island alum, as she gushed: “He is in my life forever now. I’m so incredibly grateful for him. He has helped me through my hardest times in the house, and created some of my happiest memories too. He is just such a special guy, I’m so lucky.”

Chris also pointed out that it was her resilience – a quality she shares with his ex-girlfriend Jesy Nelson – that he admires the most, adding: “The thing that fascinated me most about her is not the stuff that she’s done, because I was still finding out stuff she’d done even yesterday, it was what she’s come through, and what she’s been through when she was a teenager.

“And that’s similar to what my ex-girlfriend went through, so kind of seeing how they are both similarly as people, I mean in the respect that she’s come through a lot, and she is purely a nice person, and I’m saying the similarities are in the personality. “

The timing of JoJo and Chris becoming so close has raised eyebrows — especially after JoJo broke up with her partner Kath Ebbs during the CBB after-party.

In a now-deleted TikTok video, Kath expressed their shock over the sudden split, suggesting JoJo “fell in love” with Chris while in the house.

Kath, who had travelled from Australia to support JoJo, revealed: “I went to the live show to show up for my partner and support them… went to the after party with my, I guess now, ex, crazy thing to say, and was dumped at the party.” They also claimed that JoJo had previously proposed marriage before her stint in the Big Brother house.

Meanwhile, in the Big Brother house JoJo was open about her evolving understanding of her sexuality, telling RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Danny Beard: “I’ve realised I’m not a lesbian, I’m queer. And I think that’s really cool. “
