OHMYGOSSIP — Francesca Cumani is pregnant.
The 40-year-old presenter – who is best known as a pundit for ITV Racing – already has two-year-old Teddy with boyfriend Max Johnson as well as five-year-old Harry with ex-husband and Australian polo professional Rob Archibald, but she took to social media to reveal she is now expecting again.
Francesca did not address the pregnancy directly in the post as she posed in a glittering blue dress at Goodwood Racecourse, but could be seen smiling as she cupped her growing bump.
She captioned the post: “Sunday Blues here, just blue white for @lkp_ct @goodwood_races for @itvracing”(sic)
Upon the birth of her first child, Francesca and her then-husband released a statement in which they told fans that “mum, son (and dad)” were “doing well” upon welcoming the new addition.
The TV star previously admitted that she had gone into marriage with her “best intentions” and thought it was going to “last forever” until life got in the way.
She told Tatler: “You go into marriage with the best intentions, thinking it’s going to be forever. Then life conspires against you and it’s not. Despite getting married in your thirties, you still change and grow. I made mistakes in the past, perhaps because I didn’t know my own mind and was too ruled by others.”
Francesca also admitted that while it had been “really stressful” to co-parent Harry with her ex-husband from across the other side of the world, it had been “really sweet” to take the little one back to where she had grown up in the Suffolk countryside.
She said: “Harry is a lot like me. It’s so sweet seeing him around the horses, nuzzling and talking to them. It’s like he is magnetically drawn to them.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Greg Rutherford had to be rushed to hospital after suffering a mystery allergic reaction.
The 36-year-old athlete – who represented Great Britain at the Olympics – suffered a “sudden” reaction to an unknown substance earlier this week and took to social media to update fans on the “horrible” experience.
He wrote on Instagram: “I suddenly had a massive allergic reaction to something (no idea what) and had to get Susie to rush me to hospital. Thankfully they pumped me with a load of stuff and calmed it down. But it was HORRIBLE. This rash was covering my entire body. I’m not home. A little [itchy] still, but nothing like earlier. I was trying to get my skin off it was so bad. I’m going to get some tests done to figure out what it was, as I NEVER want to experience that again.
“I was screaming at one point… So apologies for that too. (sic)”
Greg later gave fans a further update where he explained that he now just needs to figure out what caused the reaction in the first place and “wouldn’t wish” such a “horrific” ordeal on anyone.
He said: “I’m much better today. I still have itches on my skin but nothing like yesterday, which is great. I got some stronger antihistamines just in case it happens again. It’s now going to be a case of figuring out what it was and hopefully it will never happen again. It was horrific and I wouldn’t wish it anyone!”
The former ‘ Celebrity MasterChef’ winner – who has been in a relationship with Susie Verrill for over a decade and has Milo, eight, Rex, five and two-year-old Daphne with her – had to be driven to hospital on Sunday (06.08.23) when his partner arrived home to find him “screaming in pain” after the mystery condition left him suddenly “clawing” at his skin.
She wrote on Instagram: “Ran in the house, found @gregjrutherford there again, screaming. Acting like one of those people you see in videos where they’ve taken bath salts.
“He was clawing at his skin and just screaming. Repeatedly. He ran to our car and while I rang 999 again to say I’d have to take him.
“We had to run every red light and I had to focus on not crashing while he screamed and tried to grab the wheel. He was delirious and I looked like I was kidnapping him. I was on the phone to the 999 call handler
and the poor girl just kept saying ‘ok yeah he doesn’t sound good, please be safe but hurry’ and I was like ok well this is a nightmare because I’ve been driving like 3 months. It was AWFUL. I was just waiting for him to stop breathing while also trying not to crash (sic)”

The 56-year-old actor will take on the role of initial lead inspector DCS Dennis Hoban in the upcoming crime drama ‘The Long Shadow’ – which will examine the Yorkshire Ripper’s infamous killing spree of 13 women from 1975 until 1980, across the course of seven hour-long episodes – and he will be joined by David Morrissey in the part of DCS George Oldfield, who later took on the investigation.

OHMYGOSSIP — Chloe Goodman worried she might die during corrective surgery.
The 30-year-old model – who has Isla, three, and 18-month-old Hudson with fiance Grant Hall – had liposuction abroad six years ago before going under the knife once again recently for corrective liposuction, to combat issues brought on by the skin mottling and fibrosis she was left with, but she feared her children would be left without a mother if it all went wrong.
She told OK! Magazine: “It’s the best decision I’ve made. But as a mum, you definitely have the fear of, ‘What if I don’t wake up? Am I putting myself through all of this for vanity?’ I might not wake up tomorrow and my kids won’t have a mum!”
However, the former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star wanted her kids to have a “confident” mother and explained that the mottling – blotchy red skin that occurs when too much fat has been removed – has been “corrected” as much as is possible.
Chloe is now “so grateful” to the plastic surgeons who worked on her.
She said: “The kids needed a happy, confident mum and I was miserable.
“They have corrected it [the mottling] as best as they can. I’m definitely not bothered about it as much now. Six years of my life hiding and editing my stuff so you couldn’t see it, and amazingly they were able to fix it. I am so grateful.
“I want to meet up with my friends who I haven’t seen in God knows how long and grab back a bit of independence again. I want to enjoy my family, my kids and my career but also still have that time for me!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Owen is being supported by Anne Diamond amid his cancer battle.
The 75-year-old broadcaster announced earlier this week that he had been diagnosed with “extensive and aggressive” prostate cancer just weeks after his former ‘TV-am’ co-host Anne, 68, revealed she was fighting breast cancer.
And he now thinks it is “fantastic” that they both have each other to lean on, years after they formed a successful partnership on-screen.
Speaking on ‘BBC Breakfast’, he said: “We have been cajoling each other. It is fantastic [to have one another at this time] but it’s just so ironic that she and I, who are forever associated as a partnership professionally, both have the quintessentially male and female cancer.”
Nick previously explained that while he initially wasn’t “too worried” about his checkup, his doctor urged him to have a scan, and he won’t forget the “killer date” he received his diagnosis.
Speaking on ‘BBC Midlands Today’: “I went to a specialist, he wasn’t too worried because my figures weren’t that high. But he decided I ought to have a scan and then the scan said there was something dodgy going on, and then he sent me for a biopsy which he did. And the results of that were the killer, on April the 13th, a date which will forever be imprinted on my mind. He told us that it was extensive really and aggressive, and I had prostate cancer full-on, and something needed to be done pretty fast.”
In recent years, former ‘Loose Women’ panellist Anne has been an anchor on GB News, but she has been absent from the channel for over six months and has undergone a double mastectomy.
Revealing her cancer diagnosis, she told the broadcaster: “I haven’t been on a world cruise. It’s been a fight against breast cancer. That’s what it’s been. It’s been a long journey. And five months later, I’m still not at the end of the journey, but I’m through it enough to come back to work.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Josie Gibson is in the “early stages” of a relationship.
The 38-year-old TV star – who has four-year-old son Reggie with former partner Terry – has admitted there is someone special in her life, and even though the romance is just beginning, she has already dropped the L-bomb.
Speaking on tonight’s (09.08.23) episode of ‘Shopping With Keith Lemon’ on ITV2, she says: “There is someone in my life at the moment but it’s early stages.
“It’s that bit where you’ve got the flutters, can’t-wait-to see-them vibes – you get a little bit nervous. I’ve said ‘I love you’. It’s best to just get it out of the way, I don’t like playing games!”
The ‘This Morning’ host also explained she “never” gets any attention from the opposite sex and “hated” it when a ban on wolf-whistling came in.
She said: “I never ever get chatted up. Do you know what? I hated it when they started banning wolf-whistling. I used to love getting wolf- whistled at.”
Josie – who shot to fame when she won ‘Big Brother’ in 2011 – recently opened up about the “struggle” she goes through thinking about her little boy starting school.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “I’ll be honest with you, it’s not my favourite thing in the world. Because someone’s taking them off your hands – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.”
“And I’m used to having my Mondays with Reg – we spend Mondays together, we spend Fridays together so, to be fair, I struggled with that a little bit.
“He woke up the other day and he said, ‘Can we go to Mexico today Mummy?’
“And we’ve got a little globe we use and he puts a sticker on all the places he’s been.”
