Ah, swollen pregnancy feet. We’ve all been there – and if you haven’t, then you’re either lying or you’re the luckiest person in the world. Fluid retention is normal – in fact, it’s necessary to soften up the body as it prepares to expand to be the home of another human being for nine months. […]

Ah, Hugh Jackman. He really just seems like a stand up guy, doesn’t he? So versatile in his work, such a beautiful voice, constantly able to make everybody’s day at least 20 percent better simply be existing. Solid enough lad.

No socks is it? Cool. Spencer Matthews has shared a previously unseen photo from his and Vogue’s wedding day and there’s only one thing missing. No, not Vogue herself as one would have presumed given the headline of this article. It’s actually James Middleton’s socks – because he does not appear to be wearing any. […]

It’s a lot. If you marry someone, chances are you think they’re alright. Maybe you even think they’re more than alright – maybe you think they’re unreal and perfect and the only person you want to spend the rest of your life with which is the only reason why you should marry somebody anyway, tbh.

There were a lot of TV programmes on last year. Killing Eve was one of them. Derry Girls was another. Sharp Objects was also one that you may or may not have indulged in during the horrendous 12 month period that was 2018. Another one of those TV programmes was the Late Late Toy Show. […]

Don’t exactly have high hopes for this but sure look. Margot Robbie has been cast in the Barbie live action film as Barbie – hooray.

Best to just leave it, mate. Proposals are generally a pretty nice idea.

Unreal. Ryanair have dropped another massive spring seat sale a mere six days after they launched their first spring seat sale of 2019.

Grim enough sitch when you didn’t even kill the guy. For a while there, the disappearance of Joe Tate was all anybody on Emmerdale ever talked about. Which is fair enough, like.

God bless Tina O’Brien. Nah, for real like. Where would we honestly be without Sarah Platt shocking the nation via her teen pregnancy back in the early 2000s.

Grim. Or a happy occasion for all involved, who can say for sure. If someone you know and love was pregnant, you’d probably want them to let you know face to face, and as soon as possible.
