Incredible

MOLLY-MAE Hague has just shown her followers that the amazing dressing room renovation under way in her luxury mansion is almost finished.

The reality star and her boxer beau Tommy Fury purchased the £5million pad together in 2022.

And it appears everything is really taking shape, bar some missing flooring here and there.

An excited Molly took to her Instagram story to share a snap of the dressing room which she already feels incredibly eager to use.

Penned over a photo of the mostly finished space, she said: “Home from the office to a nearly finished dressing room.

“I’m actually itching to get in here.

Molly-Mae shows off her baby bump after ‘accidentally’ revealing baby’s gender

“Couldn’t resist and already started putting bits and bobs on the shelves.

“Carpet to go down, little wall lights to add, then the final touches.”

Taking a selfie in the room’s giant mirror, Molly-Mae opted to wear a white top that allows her pregnant belly to peek through.

She paired the piece with comfortable black trousers and Ugg slippers.

Behind her an assortment of Louis Vuitton bags and other designer goods are sitting on the white dressing room furniture.

White with tasteful gold accents are the theme of the dressing room, bringing a stylish minimalist air to the area.

The renovation update comes shortly after Molly-Mae and Tommy announced they were expecting their second child together.

They made the announcement via Instagram by posting a sweet Instagram reel showing off her stomach.

Molly’s currently around six months pregnant, and already has a two-year-old daughter called Bambi.

Her and Tommy have opened up about how they know the gender of the second baby and how they have already picked a name.

But they’re keeping the information secret from their followers for now.

Though in a video posted online, Molly referred to her bump as “she” for a split second, leading fans to believe she’s having another baby girl.

As she showed off her bare baby bump and cradled it in her latest YouTube vlog, the social media personality declared: “Here she is!”

The forthcoming HBO show promises to do justice to the BAFTA award-winning source material that already has a global fanbase.

HBO has confirmed that it’s adapting a beloved fantasy video game series for the small screen.

The American cable network will be adapting the acclaimed video game Baldur’s Gate 3, which is set in the fantasy world of Dungeons & Dragons.

Baldur’s Gate 3 bagged game of the year at the 2024 BAFTA Game Awards, along with four other wins, cementing its status in the video games world. The video game has also been widely praised by players since it came out with the HBO series expected to grow its fanbase.

One fan gave a glowing review on Metacritic: “Absolutely beautiful game.”

They added in their critique: “I have around 200 hours now spent on this game and i’m still discovering more on my 3rd and 4th play throughs.”

While a second user posted an equally positive review: “The best new age RPG ever made. It perfectly encapsulates the scenery and feel of DND on the scale of a major video game release.

“The sheer amounts of decisions, both big and small, a player can make is both overwhelming and beautiful.”

TV lovers can now get Sky TV, Netflix and Discovery+ for £15 per month with the new Essential TV bundle.

This delivers live and on-demand TV without a satellite dish or aerial and includes hit shows like The Last of Us and Squid Game.

A third declared: “Masterpiece, best CRPG in the history of gaming, even so as we didnt have a great CRPG since Dragon Age 2 o Mass Effect 2 [sic].”

Yet another wrote: “Despite the odd bugs and broken quests, an exceptional game. This player of video games for 5 decades waited so long for something so rich and realistic.”

The drama series will be spearheaded by The Last of Us’ co-creator and Chernobyl writer Craig Mazin, who is confirmed to be writing, showrunning and executive producing the TV iteration.

Mazin said in a statement, as per Deadline, “After putting nearly 1000 hours into the incredible world of Baldur’s Gate 3 , it is a dream come true to be able to continue the story that Larian and Wizards of The Coast created.

“I am a devoted fan of D&D and the brilliant way that Swen Vincke and his gifted team adapted it.”

“I can’t wait to help bring Baldur’s Gate and all of its incredible characters to life with as much respect and love as we can, and I’m deeply grateful to Gabe Marano and his team at Hasbro for entrusting me with this incredibly important property.”

The Baldur’s Gate TV show is slated to be a continuation of the games and will focus on the story after Baldur’s Gate 3, with existing and new characters reeling from the events of the latest game.

This means that the show won’t be tied to the video games and can take its own direction and tell a story in its own right.

This is a sharp contrast to The Last of Us, which directly adapted the video game’s storyline as well as building upon the existing world.

Indeed The Last of Us’ second season was met with a far more muted response to the universally lauded first outing led by Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey.

The Last of Us is going to be ending with its third and final season, with Mazin recently paid tribute to the late Catherine O’Hara, who played therapist Gail in the post-apocalyptic drama.

HBO previously confirmed in 2025 that showrunner Neil Druckmann would be stepping away from the drama to focus on his existing commitments to his video game company Naughty Dog.

Kate Ferdinand has shared her concerns about the growing pressure on people to use the so-called “skinny jab”.

Showing off her toned physique in an exclusive new shoot with Women’s Health, the 34-year-old opened up about her worries surrounding weight-loss medication.

Donning sportswear for the shoot, the reality star, who is married to former Manchester United footballer Rio Ferdinand, admitted she fears the impact of the rising popularity of GLP-1 drugs.

Speaking about the pressure she believes some women are feeling, Kate said: “I know a lot of people who do them, and if it makes them happier, then great.

But I think it’s become this thing where the woman who doesn’t want to jab feels pressure to do so because everyone else is.

“And it can feel harder for them to do things in the natural way – to exercise and eat well – because it takes so much longer and the results aren’t as immediate.”

Why Essex mums are turning on ‘moaning’ Kate Ferdinand after tears in Dubai

In the accompanying photos, Kate is seen posing in a white tennis skirt and sports bra, with a towel draped around her neck.

She credits her own physique to a holistic approach to health and fitness.

“I want to look good and I’m happier when I look good, I have to be honest. 

“But I would always choose to exercise because I work out for my mental health, too. 

“I also want to be a healthy role model for my children: they see me working hard in the gym and that makes a difference…I’m quite aware of how I feel and what I need to do in order to make myself feel better. 

“If I need help, I’ll have therapy. If I’m struggling, I’ll go outside and go for a walk, I’ll talk to people.”

Kate is the current Women’s Health cover star and a guest on its Just As Well podcast.

Meanwhile, Rio has teamed up with his wife to front the men’s edition of the magazine, Men’s Health.

The Ferdinands are the first British couple to appear on the covers of Women’s Health and Men’s Health UK simultaneously.

The couple recently moved to Dubai, a move that Kate has admitted she has struggled to adjust to.

Kate got emotional during a recording of her podcast Blended as she admitted it’s not been easy for her.

Starting off positively, she said: “I think it’s an amazing place to live, I think it’s amazing for the children. The children are thriving and happy and living a life of just outside freedom.

“Rio loves it so much. I am enjoying it, but I miss home quite a lot. I can’t talk about it because I get upset,” said Kate as she grappled with tears.

Kate and Rio have a blended family of five children, which consists of their two kids Cree and Shae, and Rio’s children Lorenz, 19, Tate, 17, and Tia, who he welcomed with his late wife Rebecca.

The latest issue of Men’s Health UK and Women’s Health UK go on sale on 10 February.

This charming Lancashire village in the Forest of Bowland with no mobile reception is the ideal weekend getaway

Nestled within the moorland wilderness of the Forest of Bowland – designated an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) in 1964 – lies a captivating, lesser-known village that seems virtually frozen in time.

Boasting magnificent stone buildings, this charming Lancashire village is considered the perfect retreat for anyone seeking to escape the frenetic pace of urban living and disconnect for a while.

Situated at the heart of the Trough of Bowland, this picturesque hamlet offers practically no mobile phone signal, adding to its timeless character, but makes up for its lack of connectivity with plentiful charm, offering visitors countless activities as they discover the locale.

The peaceful village of Slaidburn has plenty to offer and makes an ideal starting point for walkers and cyclists, owing to its closeness to the varied landscape and breathtaking rural views that encircle it, reports Lancs Live.

Must-see 15th-century church

Among the key attractions in Slaidburn is the village’s Grade I Listed church located at its centre.

A functioning Anglican church, St Andrew’s Church is built from sandstone and originates from the 15th century, making it a superb afternoon stop for visitors, particularly history enthusiasts.

Constructed in the Gothic architectural tradition, the church was established in 1450, though it experienced several modifications during the 18th Century. The eastern wall of the church was completely reconstructed in 1866.

This historic building, steeped in a rich past and heritage, boasts unique pews, an uncommon three-tier pulpit, and a striking chancel screen. It’s also noted for its ‘quantity of good early woodwork’.

Venturing outside, the churchyard houses a sandstone cross shaft with Grade II Listed status, likely dating back to the 16th century, adorned with carved detailing on its upper part.

The churchyard is also the final resting place of a Duke of Wellington’s Regiment soldier who lost his life during World War I.

Why this delightful village is worth a visit

Slaidburn is a perfect spot for outdoor enthusiasts and history aficionados.

A poignant war memorial takes centre stage in the village – a solitary soldier with a bowed head atop a hexagonal plinth – and visitors often remark on the touching tribute to the fallen.

Visitors to Slaidburn can unwind with a brew and a piece of freshly baked cake at the quaint Riverbank tearoom, an ideal pit-stop for cyclists and walkers needing a break.

Indeed, it’s fair to say that Slaidburn is one of those villages where the charm lies in the small details of life.

Nestled among the Forest of Bowland fells, Slaidburn is reached via a narrow, winding mountain pass.

A stroll through this charming village reveals a historic water fountain and a display of Victorian footwear, featuring clogs and ice-skating boots. Another significant structure in Slaidburn is the Ellerbeck Hall.

The Hark to Bounty Inn, a 16th-century pub and Grade II Listed building, stands at the village’s centre, featuring oak-beamed ceilings, a spacious bar area and an adjoining snug room ideal for gatherings.

The pub, a cherished cornerstone of the community, is presently shut, according to the final update from its former landlords of more than 25 years in October 2024.

Slaidburn’s charm stems from its capacity to offer both tranquil unwinding and adventure – all within its picturesque confines, establishing it as a perfect countryside retreat.

The BBC has dropped a chilling first-look trailer for its new drama which is set to hit screens next month.

The BBC has unveiled a haunting first glimpse of its new adaptation of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies.

The iconic novel is being reimagined by Adolescence screenwriter Jack Thorne, and is scheduled to arrive on screens next month.

Featured in an ensemble of 30 boys are Winston Sawyers as Ralph, Lox Pratt as Jack, David McKenna as Piggy, and Ike Talbut as Simon. Joining them are additional castaways, including Thomas Connor as Roger, Noah and Cassius Flemyng as twins Sam and Eric, Cornelius Brandreth as Maurice, and Tom Page-Turner as Bill.

The series, marking the first television adaptation of Lord of the Flies, chronicles the terrifying tale of schoolboys marooned on a tropical island without adult supervision following a catastrophic plane crash.

Whilst battling to stay alive and as hostilities mount, they turn against one another with deadly results, reports the Express.

In a bid to maintain order, they establish a hierarchy under Ralph’s leadership and Piggy’s cleverness.

Yet as Jack grows increasingly obsessed with hunting and competing for control, he lures the other boys away, leading to devastating outcomes.

The BBC production will stay true to the source material, positioned in the early 1950s on an unidentified Pacific island, though Thorne’s version will explore more profoundly the novel’s key themes: mankind’s nature, the erosion of innocence, and masculine boyhood.

Each of the four instalments bears the name of a protagonist central to the narrative – Ralph, Piggy, Simon, and Jack – presenting their individual viewpoints in their fight for survival.

In a spine-tingling first glimpse trailer, the lads start learning to survive independently on the island, scavenging for sustenance and seeking refuge.

As one declares, “We need to help each other, and we need to be good campmates,” another responds, “We’re going to hunt pigs and get meat for everybody.”

Their politeness descends into chaos as they clash with one another, with fires blazing ominously in the backdrop of certain sequences, whilst the youngsters resort to brutality and even killing.

The BBC revealed: “A classic reborn for television – Lord of the Flies is the story of a group of young schoolchildren who find themselves stranded on a tropical island with no adults, and where civilisation turns to violence and chaos.”

The riveting preview has already captivated audiences, with one commenting: “This looks incredible, I can’t wait!”

Another remarked: “Still traumatised from reading this,” whilst a third penned: “Looking forward to it.”

During a recent chat with The Times, Jack discussed the adaptation, revealing: “The world in which Golding was writing and the pain he was observing – I think we’re living in a very similar age now.”

“I find the ending of the book bleak and I find the journey of the book bleak, but I find the portrait of children not to be bleak,” he continued.

Lord of the Flies will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer from February 8.
