‘My baby arrived so fast I had to give birth by myself in the bath – it was easy’
Corinne Card had been hoping for a home water birth when it was time to deliver her youngest child, but when doctors expressed concern that her bump wasn’t as big as they’d like, it looked like those hopes were going to be dashed. The new plan a hospital birth – with a pool if Corinne, 41, was lucky and they weren’t all in use when the time came. However, it seems baby Freddie had other ideas. In the end as, in a roundabout sort of way, he gave his mum the birth she wanted – albeit not exactly as she’d planned.

‘I murdered Lachlan Gebhardt’: How a confession to murder was ruled inadmissible
ALDEN WILLIAMS/STUFF Joe Bradley and Kelly Phillips were among the first on the scene of the 2019 crash that killed 6-year-old Lachlan Gebhardt. This video was filmed a year after the crash. After a fiery crash that killed his 6-year-old son, Niklas Gebhardt confessed to murdering him. SAM SHERWOOD reports on why this confession was kept under wraps.

On November 5, 2019, he had driven north out of Rangiora and onto long flat Lehmans Rd. His son Lachlan was in the back seat of the car.

A three-storey townhouse built in Bristol in 1895. I bought it 18 months ago. It hadn’t had any work done to it for 40 years. How many places had you looked at? This house was the only place I looked at and I bought it. A friend in Bristol told me it was coming onto the market. It was a halfway house and the landlord rented rooms out individually. It coincided with my accountant telling me I needed to invest the money I’d made from being on telly, plus it’s close to my family, so it was the perfect opportunity. It’s become a family project.
