OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Roma’ led the winners at this year’s Critics’ Choice Awards, taking home four gongs including the coveted Best Picture.
The Netflix drama scooped Sunday (13.01.19) evening’s biggest honour at Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar, beating off competition from the likes of ‘Black Panther’, ‘BlacKkKlansman’, ‘The Favourite’, ‘First Man’, ‘Green Book’, ‘A Star is Born’, ‘If Beale Street Could Talk’, ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ and ‘Vice’ to take the coveted honour, while Alfonso Cuaron was recognised with Best Director and the movie also took home Best Cinematography and Best Foreign Film.
Accepting the Best Picture award, Alfonso said: “This bunch of Mexicans are not as bad as sometimes they are portrayed.”
He also thanked Netflix for “bringing this film to the people in the mainstream.”
‘Vice’ scooped three wins, for Best Hair and Best Make-Up, as well as Best Actor and Best Actor in a Comedy for lead star Christian Bale, who portrays former US Vice President Dick Cheney.
As he accepted the honour, he said of the film: “Time sort of allows it to be considered a comedy but it’s really a tragedy.”
‘Black Panther’ also took home three prizes, for costume and production design and special effects.
The Best Actress award was shared between ‘The Wife’s Glenn Close and ‘A Star is Born’s Lady Gaga, who also started the evening by winning Best Song for the movie’s ‘Shallow’.
The Best Supporting Actor and Actress honours went to ‘Green Book’s Mahershala Ali and Regina King from ‘If Beale Street Could Talk’, both of whom won similar accolades at last week’s Golden Globes.
In the TV categories, ‘The Americans’ and ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ led the winners with three each.
The final season of the FX spy drama took home Best Drama Series, and stars Matthew Rhys and Noah Emmerich took Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series respectively.
‘The Marvelous Mrs Maisel’ took Best Comedy Series, and its star Rachel Brosnahan took Best Comedy Actress for the second year in a row, with her co-star Alex Borstein scooping the Supporting Actress accolade.
‘Killing Eve’ star Sandra Oh took Best Actress in a Drama Series and Barry’s Bill Hader was honoured with Best Actor in a Comedy Series.
There was another tie for Best Actress in a Limited Series, with the prize shared by ‘Sharp Objects’ star Amy Adams and ‘Escape at Dannemora’s Patricia Arquette.
‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story’ was named Best Limited Series, and its star Darren Criss took home the Best Actor in a Limited Series honour.
The former ‘Glee’ actor made the audience laugh with his self-deprecating speech.
He said: “I realise these moments are fleeting. I am very lucky to be here. I’ve never been to the ceremony before. I don’t know if I will come again. So while I’m here, because I do cherish these moments, I just want to say, and it’s very simple thing but it comes from the heart.
“Thank you for this honour, especially because statistically inevitably the critiques will probably not always be as generous. I would like to take this as an opportunity to apologise for any future lackluster performances and I hope that when that happens, you will remember this moment because I certainly will.”
Taye Diggs hosted this year’s ceremony.

Aedan Duckworth signs new Hollyoaks contract

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Aedan Duckworth has signed a new ‘Hollyoaks’ deal to keep him on the soap.
The young actor has earned plaudits – and a Best Newcomer nomination for the upcoming National Television Awards – for his performance as Ollie Morgan during the show’s dark sexual abuse storyline.
He told the Daily Star Sunday: “I’ve just signed a new contract so I’ll definitely be around for the near future.”
He added that viewers could expect some more positive storylines for Ollie, now that his abuser Buster Smith (Nathan Sussex) is behind bars after the trial.
He said: “The trial is over and we will see Ollie trying to move on from it all. Of course, it’s something that will always be with him.
“But I’ve got some lighter stuff coming up with Brooke [Hathaway], which has been nice.”
Viewers have praised the show for the way it handled such a sensitive subject during the on-screen trial, and Aedan recently admitted he was glad it has been able to help people.
He explained: “The main reaction, which is the reason we do it, is that there’s been a spike in people coming forward. We’ve been working with Survivors Manchester and I know they’d back me up on that.
“The wider reaction from viewers is that they’ve loved the storyline. They’ve liked how real it’s been – and I really hope they’ve liked the outcome in the end.”
The star also opened up on how the storyline had changed his perspective after he initially just thought about the “cool” side of joining a soap, such as impressing his friends and learning “new things”.
However, he admitted: “Through my journey at ‘Hollyoaks’, I’ve realised that it’s about more than just being on screen. If you’re giving someone the confidence to come forward, it’s surreal and different in its own way. If I could do that again with another storyline in the future, I’d absolutely love to do it.”

Kylie Jenner exacts egg revenge

OHMYGOSSIP — Kylie Jenner has exacted her revenge on an egg after her Instagram record was smashed.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star’s post from February 2018 announcing the birth of her and boyfriend Travis Scott’s daughter Stormi had been the most liked post on the photo-sharing app but an online campaign to get a simple photo of the foodstuff to surpass its popularity has proven successful as it’s earned over 23 million likes in just 10 days.
The mysterious Egg Gang had shared the simple photo on an account called world_record_egg and wrote: “Let’s set a world record together and get the most liked post on Instagram. Beating the current world record held by Kylie Jenner (18 million)! We got this [prayer emoji] (sic)”
But the 21-year-old reality star didn’t take losing her world record lying down as she’s now shared a video of herself cracking a similar-looking egg on the “really hot” ground, which she captioned: “Take that little egg.”
Fans of the egg have also been taking to Kylie’s original record-breaking photo of newborn Stormi clutching her thumb and adding the word ‘egg’ or just emojis of the breakfast favourite into the comments.
The Egg Gang have been blown away by the success of their campaign and have hinted they have got more records in their sights.
They wrote on their Instagram Story: “This is madness. What a time to be alive. Thank you so much for all of your support and messages. I’m gonna try to get back to as many of you as possible. But for now I need to sleep. It doesn’t end here though, we’re only just getting started. #EggGang. Mic drop.(sic)”

Peter Farrelly wants to be better

By
Ohmygossip.com

OHMYGOSSIP — Peter Farrelly is doing his best to “become a better person”.
The ‘Green Book’ director admitted he has learned a lot since his movie’s Golden Globe win was overshadowed by the revelation he used to expose himself to cast and crew members as a joke and he hopes the scandal doesn’t put people off from seeing the movie.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’ on the red carpet at the Critics’ Choice Awards on Sunday (13.01.19), he said: “You learn, you grow. You try to become a better person. It’s all ultimately about the movie and that’s what we hope people see. I love this movie. I think it’s special.
“It’s been quite a trip, the whole thing, I’ve got to say.
“When we got into this whole thing … I didn’t know about this whole world. I’ve never made a movie for awards. So to be in the middle of it all is a real eye-opener.”
The movie has been further embroiled in scandal when an old anti-Muslim tweet written by Nick Vallelonga, one of the film’s writers, resurfaced and the 62-year-old director revealed the scribe has taken a “step back” so he isn’t a “distraction” from ‘Green Book’.
He said: “Nick’s good. He just wanted to take a step back and not be a distraction right now. He’s not feeling good about it, of course. None of us are. But it’s a growing and a learning experience. For him and a lot of people.”
Peter previously issued a statement apologising for his past antics, admitting he was “embarrassed” by his on-set behaviour.
He said: “I was an idiot. I did this decades ago and I thought I was being funny and the truth is I’m embarrassed and it makes me cringe now. I’m deeply sorry.”
And Nick also apologised and deleted his Twitter account over the scandal.
He said: “I want to apologise. I spent my life trying to bring this story of overcoming differences and finding common ground to the screen, and I am incredibly sorry to everyone associated with ‘Green Book’.
“I especially deeply apologize to the brilliant and kind Mahershala Ali, and all members of the Muslim faith, for the hurt I have caused.”

Allen Leech married

OHMYGOSSIP — Allen Leech has got married.
The ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ actor and 32-year-old actress Jessica Blair Herman tied the knot on January 5 at a star-studded ceremony held at Alisal Ranch and Resort in California’s Santa Ynez Valley that was officiated by the bride’s mother and though they had envisaged a sunny day for their nuptials, things didn’t quite go to plan.
The Irish star said: “It ended up being something quite different. When you get married in California you expect sunshine, but a little bit of Ireland blew over on the day and we had some heavy rain.”
As a result of the rain, the string quartet the couple had booked were unable to perform, so wedding guests Lea Michele and Darren Criss stepped up to entertain fellow attendees including Allen’s ‘Downton Abbey’ co-stars Michelle Dockery and Dan Stevens and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’s Rami Malek.
Allen told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “Everyone rallied round, the weather only made the day more epic.
“Darren and Lea are such great people and great friends, and they said, ‘Absolutely no problem’ when we told them the situation. We grabbed a guitar and they ended up singing the music for our ceremony.
“Everyone said they had never been to a wedding where everyone was singing before the bride had even arrived.”
The 37-year-old actor – who wore a navy Armani suit and burgundy bow tie – was bowled over when he saw Jessica in her Monique Lhuillier gown for the first time.
He gushed: “That moment of seeing Jessica, oh my God, it was magical. It will stay with me forever.”
The ‘People v OJ: American Crime Story’ actress – who got engaged to Allen last February after two years of dating – is expecting married life to be “uncomplicated and beautiful”.
She gushed: “As soon as I met him there was a sense of ease and comfort, that I knew marriage would be uncomplicated and beautiful with him.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Lisa Faulkner would love an ‘EastEnders’ comeback.
The 46-year-old actress – who played James Willmott-Brown’s (William Boyde) daughter, Fi Browning, on the BBC One soap in 2017 – admitted despite her nerves she loved her stint on the show, and if she was asked she’d be delighted to make a return.
She told OK! magazine: “I didn’t expect to enjoy filming ‘EastEnders’. I was scared and I thought, I don’t know if I want to do this! And then I had the best nine months.
“It was great playing a baddie and I’ve made fantastic friends there. If they asked me back with an appropriate storyline, I’d say yes. They haven’t yet, though…”
Meanwhile, Lisa is in a celebratory mood after revealing she got engaged to ‘MasterChef’ judge John Torode on Christmas Day (25.12.18).
She recently said: “My gorgeous John completely surprised me on Christmas Day and asked me to marry him! After waiting to tell our family when we got home we then had a few days just grinning at each other!! Im so very happy to share our lovely news with you. Happy 2019 it’s going to be quite a year and I’m going to embrace every minute of it. All you need is love. Love is all you need. (sic)”
She wrote her message alongside a selfie with John, in which she showed off her huge sparkler on her engagement finger.
John, 53, also took to Instagram to share a snap of the former ‘Holby City’ star with a big grin on her face on their holiday.
He wrote: “And she said YES !! Bloody love my Lisa .. Have put a ring on it (sic)”
The couple met when Lisa won ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ in 2010, and they started dating in 2012.

OHMYGOSSIP — Tina O’Brien’s daughter introduced her to new husband Adam Crofts.
The ‘Coronation Street’ actress married her partner – who she’s been with for eight years – on New Year’s Eve (31.12.18), and in his wedding speech he revealed how Scarlett, now 10, caused a chance meeting between them.
As reported by OK! Magazine, he said: “We should all say a big thank you to Scarlett because she is pretty much the reason we’re all here today.

Tina shares Scarlett with ex-boyfriend – and former ‘Corrie’ co-star – Ryan Thomas, while she and Adam have a four-year-old son called Beau.
Amongst the wedding guests was soap veteran Helen Worth – who plays Gail Platt on the show – and she admitted she “got quite teary” during the ceremony.
When asked if Helen got emotional, Tina previously said: “She told me she got quite teary.
“Having a singalong and being able to look at everyone was perfect for me. I got to smile at people and take in everybody who was there.”
As well as Helen, Several of Tina’s other co-stars were in attendance on her and Adam’s big day at Manchester boutique hotel King Street Townhouse.
Jack P. Shepherd – who plays her on-screen brother David Platt – was there with his girlfriend Hanni Treweek, and Lucy Fallon (Bethany Platt) celebrated her pal and on-screen mum’s nuptials with boyfriend Tom Leech.

Justin Hurwitz channeled ‘loss, pain, grief and loneliness’ for First Man

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — Damien Chazelle wanted Justin Hurwitz to channel “loss, pain, grief [and] loneliness” in the score for ‘First Man’.
The 33-year-old composer – who worked with the director on the hit 2016 musical ‘La La Land’ – has revealed that “themes are very important” to the filmmaker and when creating their sound for a flick, Chazelle “throws words” at Justin to find the “feel of the music”.
Hurwitz admits that Chazelle, 33, was very specific about the emotions he wanted to convey in the 2018 space biopic which tells the story of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon and is based on the book ‘First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong’ by James R. Hansen.
In an interview with Collider, Hurwitz said: “He’s very specific in what he’s looking for. So the first conversation we had once we really got into it during pre-production, we always start with … Well, he always wants to know at the beginning what the melodies are gonna be, what the themes are gonna be.
“Themes are very important to him. It always starts with me sitting at the piano looking to the themes before we get into any instrumentation, any sound ideas. We just talk about themes and he throws words at me, words that kind of get at what he wants to feel from the music.
“For this (‘First Man’) he wanted … the words he used were loss, pain, grief, loneliness. He wanted to feel all of that in the main theme of the film.”
The ‘Whiplash’ composer went on to explain that the director “always says no” when he sends first drafts, and he simply has to “keep going” until the pair have found the right sound.
He said: “So then my job is just to sit down at the piano and look for that, try to find that, and so I feel my way around the piano until I have something that feels right to me. I record at the piano, then when I send it to him and he always says no. Sometimes he’ll say why.
“It’s a little too this or it’s a little too that, and I’ll just keep going. We do this over and over and over again. It was a few hundred attempts at it before I found the right one that was the main theme of this movie.”

The Who announce final tour and new album

By
Helena-Reet Ennet
-

OHMYGOSSIP — The Who have announced “possibly” their last tour and their first album in over a decade.
The surviving members of the legendary rock band, frontman Roger Daltrey and guitarist Pete Townshend – who were joined by the late drummer Keith Moon and bassist John Entwistle in the original formation of the band – have revealed they have a follow-up to 2006’s ‘Endless Wire’ in the works, which will be accompanied with a run of orchestral dates in America.
Describing the tracks he has penned, Pete teased: “Dark ballads, heavy rock stuff, experimental electronica, sampled stuff and Who-ish tunes that began with a guitar that goes yanga-dang.”
Daltrey has assured fans that just because they will be accompanied by a group of instrumentalists, that doesn’t mean they will give their shows any less “throttle”, whilst he promised all the bells and whistles.
Speaking about the tour, the frontman commented: “Be aware Who fans! That just because it’s The Who with an Orchestra, in no way will it compromise the way Pete and I deliver our music. This will be full throttle Who with horns and bells on.”
The record is mainly the work of Townshend, 73, but his bandmate has hinted he’ll add some of his own songs to the mix.
The latter explained: “This has nothing to do with wanting a hit album [or] the fact The Who need a new album. It’s purely personal. It’s about my pride, my sense of self-worth and self-dignity as a writer.”
Daltrey, 74, added: “There’s at least five or six [songs] I can lay into and I’m sure they’ll come out incredible.”
As far as the band’s future on the road, the ‘I’m Free’ rocker says that he is thinking of winding down live performances as he doesn’t want to perform if his voice is not up to scratch.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “This will possibly be my last tour. I have to be realistic that this is the age I am and voices start to go after a while.
“I don’t want to be not as good as I was two years ago.”
Daltrey revealed last year that he isn’t allowed to do consecutive concerts, which is why The Who’s tours are few and far between.
The Teenage Cancer Trust boss had a pre-cancerous growth removed from one of his vocal cords in December 2009, and ever since he’s made sure to take good care of his voice.
Due to the terms of his insurance, Daltrey – who released solo album ‘As Long As I Have You’ last May – has to have a day off after one concert.
The orchestral shows will follow the singer’s tour in the States, last summer, which saw Daltrey perform The Who’s seminal 1969 LP ‘Tommy’ in full with local orchestras.
Further details regarding the album are expected in the coming months.

OHMYGOSSIP — Demi Lovato has liked a meme about sober living.
The 26-year-old singer – who was hospitalised following a drug overdose last July – delighted her fans when a post on Instagram account f***ing_sober caught her eye.
The meme showed a group of friends toasting around the table, with one of the women holding an imaginary glass, and had a message printed above which read: “When you’re all about that new sober life but still tryna hold onto your old ideas.(sic)”
The image was captioned: “One of these days I swear I’ll actually resemble a real human person.”
The ‘Confident’ singer’s endorsement of the post didn’t get missed by fans, with a number of them adding comments to the post.
One wrote: “Demi likes this. This is us.”
While another excitedly shared: “Demi Lovato liked this too.”
Earlier this month, the former ‘X Factor’ judge pledged never to take another day for granted after fighting back to health following her near-fatal overdose.
She posted: “So grateful for the lessons I’ve learned this year. I will never take another day in life for granted, even the bad ones.”
Demi also thanked her fans for supporting her through her recent troubles.
She said: “Thankful for my fans, friends, family and everyone who supported me through this year. God bless.”
Prior to Christmas, Demi revealed she feels “sober and grateful to be alive” after her overdose.
The singer – who spent time in rehab after she was found unconscious at her Los Angeles home – reassured fans she is fine but also asked for some space.
She wrote on Twitter: “I am sober and grateful to be alive and taking care of ME…
“I’m so blessed I get to take this time to be with family, relax, work on my mind, body and soul and come back when I’m ready. I have my fans to thank for that. I’m so grateful, truly. I love you guys so f**king much thank you (sic).”

OHMYGOSSIP — Miley Cyrus celebrated Liam Hemsworth’s birthday with a list of her “favourite things” about him.
The ‘Hunger Games’ actor turned 29 on Sunday (13.01.19) and his wife paid a touching tribute to her “favourite dude” by thanking him for giving her the “happiest days” of her life.
She captioned her Instagram post: “HBD 2Da Hubz (sic)” and wrote in the lengthy note: “L, HBD to my #1…When we met you were 19, today, you are 29…I thought I could share some of my favorite things about my favorite dude in honor of this special day.
“The way you look at me, The way you look at our dogs … our pigs, our horses, our cats, our fish.
“The way you look at your family …. Your friends …. At Strangers …. At Life ….
“The way you look at the ocean and the way you always take your time.
“The way you go outside when I ask ‘what’s the weather like?’ instead of checking our phone…
“The look on your face when you receive good news and how you look AT the bad news.(sic)”
The ‘Wrecking Ball’ hitmaker admitted she’s trying to learn from Liam’s example.
She went on: “I love how you always try things your way but are never too proud to ask for help. (Yes, I’ve noticed, and take note, I’m a work in progress.)”
And Miley doesn’t even mind any of her husband’s bad habits.
She continued: “I love the dirty socks on the floor because it means YOU’RE HOME.
“I love when you introduce me to a new band, so when you’re away I can listen, and it feels like you’re here.”
After reflecting on their morning breakfasts, hungover Chinese takeaways, attending parties together and brushing their teeth alongside one another, the ‘Malibu’ singer concluded her heartfelt post by expressing her gratitude and unconditional love for her spouse.
She wrote: “I love going to a random party and remembering basically everyone is fake AF out here and how lucky I am to share a life with someone so REAL. I love how you let ME be ME. Put simply… I love YOU. Unconditionally.
“In our time together you have displayed what it really means to love through all circumstances. I respect you and you respect me.
“You and me baby… let’s take this dark place head on and shine through with the light of L.O.V.E. Thank you for giving me the happiest days of my life.(Sic)”

Giovanni Pernice confirms romance with Ashley Roberts

By
Ohmygossip.com
-

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ professional Giovanni Pernice has confirmed he is dating Ashley Roberts.
The ballroom dancer and the former Pussycat Dolls singer were rumoured to have got together during the last series of the BBC talent show and after staying tight-lipped on the romance, Giovanni finally let slip the pair are an item during an appearance on ‘Lorraine’ on Monday morning (14.01.19).
Appearing along with fellow pros Gorka Marquez and Aljaz Skorjanec, host Lorraine Kelly said: “I know it’s early days for you and Ashley but I hope it goes well for you.”
Prompting Giovanni to reply: “Thank you.”
Giovanni then confirmed that he and Ashley – who was partnered with Pasha Kovalev on ‘Strictly’ – had spent Christmas and New Year together on vacation in Florida with Aljaz and his wife Janette Manrara.
Speaking about the trip, Aljaz interjected to say: “It was beautiful, I mean it’s always beautiful to be in Florida for Christmas and New Year but it’s bit weird because Santa usually comes on a sleigh rather than a surfboard.”
And Giovanni also spilled that he will be dancing with his 2018 partner Faye Toser and girlfriend Ashley on the ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ tour.
He said: “It’s different things, I’m dancing with Faye and with Ashley – it’s different.”
And Giovanni also defended Ashley from the criticism she received during her time on ‘Strictly’ with viewers complaining that her prior dance experience as a pop star helped her make the final.
The 28-year-old Italian dancer – who also made the final four couples with Steps singer Faye – said: “That’s the thing, every year, the same with my partner Faye. Every year people talk about the experience but not about the commitment to the show. They [the celebs] have never danced ballroom and Latin but they put 100 per cent in the show, and that’s the most important thing.”
The 2018 series produced two couples with Giovanni falling for Ashley, 37, behind the scenes and YouTuber Joe Sugg getting together with his professional partner Dianne Buswell.
And Gorka dismissed the notion of the ‘Strictly Curse’, insisting the fact that people find love is a blessing as long as they’re not hurting anyone else.
Speaking about his own happy relationship with Gemma Atkinson – whom he met on the 2017 series – he said: “We are very happy thanks to the show. Thanks for the tour I got the chance to spend more time with her and get to know her better. Yeah, we are very happy!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Kidman was “mortified” when she realised she’d snubbed Rami Malek at the Golden Globe Awards.
The ‘Big Little Lies’ actress had presented ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ with the Best Picture gong at last weekend’s ceremony, and a clip later went viral which showed the 37-year-old actor repeatedly fail to get her attention when he got on the stage and she’s admitted she “did not feel” or hear him approach.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’ on the red carpet at the Critics’ Choice Awards on Sunday (13.01.19): “We’re really good friends. I just did not feel his hand on my back so I was mortified.
“I love that man. He’s so gentle and softly spoken. He’s a darling.”
But despite the apparent awkwardness, the two stars were “laughing” about the incident just days later.
Nicole said: “He sent me an email. I sent him an email… we were laughing, actually. We were both in a bit of a daze.”
Also on the red carpet, Rami insisted he hadn’t lost his love for Nicole as a result of the snub.
He said: “Nicole’s the best and we’ve been having a laugh about it together, she’s another one I’ve admired for so many years.”
The 51-year-old actress came face-to-face with the ‘Mr. Robot’ star on the red carpet, and they were caught on camera hugging and chatting before posing for photos together.
Rami previously admitted he found the publicity surrounding the snub “ridiculous”.
He said: “She’s been a friend for a long time, and that’s why the whole thing I find absolutely ridiculous and hilarious. But I’m having a laugh about it all.
“I got up there, and I was in such a daze I don’t even know how I put together a collection of words that sounded coherent.
“So the fact that I knew Nicole [was there], I was like, ‘Oh, here’s a bit of safety.’ And then she just didn’t see me. It was as simple as that.”

Heidi Range won’t let her husband see her naked

OHMYGOSSIP — Heidi Range doesn’t feel comfortable letting her husband see her naked.
The former Sugababes singer is married to Alex Partakis – with whom she has 12-month-old daughter Aurelia with – but even though they have been together for years she still gets self-conscious about him seeing her in her birthday suit and was left “mortified” when her beau accidentally walked in on her applying moisturiser to her figure.
Speaking on Yahoo’s new podcast, ‘White Wine Question Time’, Heidi said: “I’ve never been body confident. My husband walked in on me moisturising the other day and I was mortified … We’ve been married seven years. I would hate [my daughter] to feel how I’ve felt about my body.”
Heidi, 35, also opened up on her birth in January 2018, revealing that her labour was, most unusually, painless.
She added: “I had the most amazing birth. [It was 40 minutes of pushing and no pain.] All through her birth I was thinking I can’t wait to look into her eyes. And the obstetrician said, ‘Open your eyes’, and she was just staring up at me like a little doll.”
Although she had a great birth, the ‘Push The Button’ hitmaker contracted blood poisoning after suffering an infection while breastfeeding and was eventually diagnosed with mastitis – which causes a woman’s milk ducts to become blocked and infected – by a midwife, but a health visitor then realised things were much more serious and she was rushed to hospital with sepsis.
She previously said: “I was in so much pain, shivering and delirious, but I thought it was because I was so exhausted.
“It was only when the health visitor saw my symptoms and spotted a rash that she said, ‘I think you’ve got sepsis, you need to get to hospital.’ ”
Tests confirmed the star had the life-threatening infection – which is contracted by just 1 per cent of mastitis sufferers – and she was put on a drip for four days to fight it.
But despite her serious problems, Heidi’s main concern was for her daughter.
She said: “I looked at Aurelia and said to Alex, I’m so glad this is happening to me, not her.”

Nikki Bella broke down in tears when she moved out of John Cena’s home

OHMYGOSSIP — Nikki Bella broke down in tears as she moved out of John Cena’s house.
The WWE Superstar felt very emotional as she traveled to Tampa, Florida, to clear her possessions out of the home she shared with her ex-fiancé after breaking off their engagement last year.
During the Sunday night (13.01.19) premiere of ‘Total Bellas’, she said: “My break-up’s been a very difficult thing. I don’t even know if I can get through it. Moving all my stuff out is just, it makes it closure and I think that’s the hardest part. When you move out and you shut that door and you give someone your keys, that just shuts the door to your heart, to that love and to the memories. That no new memories will be made, which is so hard to think about.”
Also during the episode Nikki, 35, hinted she could move to Los Angeles, California because she was left around “too many” memories of her former flame.
She added: “I really love the energy of Los Angeles. It just has this hustle vibe, and I have to go there every week for work, you know, for photo shoots. And I don’t want to say non-moms, because I love my moms, but it has this single life, very ‘Sex and the City’ like New York. And so it’s like, not only am I craving it, but I feel like I need it in my life.”
The grappling star then tells her twin sister Brie Bella about her dilemma of house hunting in San Diego.
She added: “Even when I was looking at houses here, there’s a lot that remind me of my ex, and it’s just …”
And whilst Brie is opposed to the idea of her sister moving away, Nikki seems serious, as she then notes: “I might go look at places already, actually.”
