Pregnant 8 year old

Heidi Range has announced she's pregnant with her second child. The former Sugababes star, 37, has another little one on the way with her husband Alex Partakis.

Heidi and Alex went through an 18-month struggle to have another baby and tragically suffered two miscarriages.

But because I’ve had two losses since her, it was quite a nerve-wracking time until I had the scans."

A US Congressman has hailed Meghan Markle for 'bringing down an empire' with her bombshell Oprah interview. Democrat Mondaire Jones tweeted: 'Meghan Markle is bringing down an entire empire tonight, and I'm here for it.' Last night, the 39-year-old American who married Prince Harry made a series of sensational claims about the British royals, including that her son Archie was denied the title of prince because he is mixed-race. Jones was not alone in celebrating the interview, in which Harry claimed that the heirs to the throne, his father Charles and brother William, were 'trapped' by the monarchy. Meghan McCain, daughter of late Republican statesman, tweeted: 'Monarchy has been an archaic and toxic concept since 1776.'

LOVE Island's Yewande Biala has today taken another swipe at rival Lucie Donlan, saying that mis-pronouncing her name is "racist and malicious". It all started earlier this week when the Irish scientist-and-reality star, 25 , said she had to “correct” Lucie on how she said her name “multiple times”. Now, Yewande has spoken again about the issue in a column for The Independent . She wrote: "There is a longstanding history of forced assimilation as a way to maintain the power structure. "Dominant groups dismissing certain names as “too hard” is tied to racism and other forms of oppression. She also said: "When someone doesn't take the time to learn the proper way to pronounce another person's name, or worse – intentionally mocks it for being “too difficult” to pronounce, or tries to ascribe another name to make themselves feel comfortable – it can come across as malicious." It all started when Yewande shared a lengthy tweet where she described her experience of … [Read more...] about Love Island’s Yewande takes another swipe at rival Lucie and says mis-pronouncing her name ‘is racist and malicious’
