Now, in her latest Instagram post, the star gave fans an emotional update on her pregnancy journey so far, which this time she is doing “alone”.
Chantelle shared a video which showed her going through the various stages of IVF – which included injecting hormones and having hospital appointments.
It also showed her emotional roller-coaster, and at one point she is seen wiping away a tear in the car.
Speaking over the video, Chantelle said: “I never imagined I’d be here alone making this decision to have Joe’s baby without him being here.
“But before he passed, he told me that I would have a baby boy and he even gave me his name.
“So it isn’t just a decision, it feels like a promise I’m keeping.
Chantelle, who married late husband Joe in 2016, also captioned the video with a touching message, which read: “Some events in life break you and rebuild you at the same time.
“Walking into an IVF clinic on my own was never part of the plan. But neither was losing Joe.
“After being told we couldn’t have children naturally again but then falling pregnant with Athena was a miracle.

“I didn’t think I would be returning to the IVF clinic to have more children, let alone doing it alone!”
Continuing, she said: “Before Joe passed, during one of his out of body experiences he told me that I’d have a baby boy… and he even gave me his name.
“I know Joe’s experiences were real and I trust everything he told me.
“So when my intuition told me to start IVF I did…. And here we are pregnant on the first attempt.

“This isn’t just about having a baby. This is about love continuing, even after loss.
“Knowing that Joe is with me every step of the way!”
Chantelle and her late husband Joe welcomed their first child, a daughter named Thailula-Lily, in September 2014 and had a second daughter in 2022 named Athena Rae.
Sadly, Joe passed away a year ago, after battling cancer for the third time.
The footballer, who started his career at the Manchester United Football Academy, was found to have stage four lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, which had spread to his lungs.
When Chantelle shared her pregnancy news in February, she talked about how her life had gone from “darkness to light”.

ALISON Hammond has declared she is “absolutely in love” with her boyfriend David Putman, despite their 22 year age gap, in a rare relationship admission.

Alison’s romance was a surprise to many due to David’s age, with her beau thought to be turning 29 next month.
However, Alison – who is a mum to 20-year-old son Aiden – has said their love transcends any age barriers in a new admission.
Addressing the difference, the TV star explained: “I completely understand why people are interested when there’s a 22-year gap, but what I find interesting is that it’s not as interesting when it’s the man who is older.”
Talking to the Daily Mail, she continued: “Why is that? I just want people to be happy for us.
Ahead of spending Christmas together, along with her son Aiden, Alison gushed over her other half.
“Things are going really, really well,” she told the Mirror.
She continued: “He just has the most beautiful energy and everyone feels it when they’re in his presence. It’s very rare.
“I am so grateful that he chooses to spend his life with me.”
Alongside working as a model, David is a massage therapist and first met Alison when she booked in for a massage back in 2023.
Hitting it off, the pair have been going strong ever since.
While they don’t often make public appearances together, Alison has shared a handful of snaps with David to Instagram over their relationship.
Previously addressing their age gap, she assured that David’s maturity makes things work so well.
Alison told Good Housekeeping: “I can see how, on paper, you’d notice the age difference.
“Yes, I’m 22 years older than he is, but if you saw us together, you’d understand. People have said to me, ‘We get it now.’”

HE IS the working class boy from Wales who conquered Hollywood as Sir Elton John in Rocketman.
She’s the Louisiana-born Baywatch actress whose reality TV family want to be the nextKardashians.
Taron Egerton and Brooks Nader have become showbusiness’s hottest coupleCredit: BackGridBut Taron’s inner circle is sounding the alarm on the pair’s relatonshipCredit: SplashThe chaotic circus of Brooks’s life could derail Taron’s acting career, it is fearedCredit: Getty
But behind the steamy snogs, Taron’s inner circle is sounding the alarm.
For I can reveal, that the 36-year-old Kingsman heartthrob’s prestige acting career could be spectacularly derailed by the chaotic circus of Brooks’s life, and her ferociously protective, camera-hungry family.
As my insider warned: “This could all end in disaster. He doesn’t know what he has gotten himself into. She will eat him alive.”
But it is not just one Nader Taron has to contend with.
She also has a brood of high-flying sisters who all live together in Manhattan and keep a watchful eye on their big sis.
Dubbed the “Wannabe Kardashians”, Brooks and her photogenic sisters – Sarah Jane, Grace Ann, and Mary Holland – became smash hit reality stars when their show launched last year on Disney+.
If his relationship with Brooks hits a speedbump, Taron won’t just be dealing with a private heartbreak – he’ll be dealing with the wrath of the sisters and a Hulu camera crew capturing every excruciating detail.
As one insider summarised the situation: “Who knows if this is happily ever after. But it could spectacularly backfire for Taron if things get messy. The Nader sisters are brutal and unafraid to play dirty to protect their own.”
The Louisiana-raised siblings swapped the country for the bright lights of New York and Los Angeles, and they absolutely do not take prisoners.
In the first season of their show, which quickly became a guilty pleasure for millions of viewers, the sisters famously tore shreds into Brooks’s exes.

Insider
They had choice, cutting words for her former husband, advertising executive Billy Haire, whom she divorced in 2024, with Brook herself saying she married him “for rent purposes”.
When she was asked on a chat show what she thought about her ex remarrying, Brooks remarked: “Which ex?”
But the sisters saved their unfiltered venom for her Dancing With the Stars partner and ex-boyfriend, Gleb Savchenko.
The pair met when they were partnered on the dance show, and sister Grace Ann revealed they hit it right from the off.

‘Highly dangerous tightrope’
She explained in eye-watering detail: “I can tell you firsthand, every time I visited Brooks’ trailer, the trailer was shaking — every single time.”
But Brooks’s whirlwind fling with the Russian dancer imploded months later, but made great reality television.
The sisters discovered he had left his phone in their flat and quickly went about searching the device while being filmed for the series.
Brooks said they were “shocked” by what they found. She said on the episode: “All these screenshots of my boobs. What the f— is this? There’s like a million girls in here. This is a week ago.”
She then found a contact labeled “Threesome girl, Joshua Tree,” and broke down in tears.
Gleb vehemently denied the allegations, but the truth hardly mattered once the Nader sisters went to war.
They cornered him both on-screen and off, acting as Brooks’s personal attack dogs.
Brooks later admitted that watching herself “crying on the bathroom floor” over the split was the hardest part of filming the show,
But she also issued a chilling warning to anyone who might doubt her family’s investigative skills, proudly claiming: “My sisters are my sources.”
With these glamorous private investigators, any misstep Taron makes is guaranteed to end up in the next season.
Reality television thrives on conflict, and the Nader sisters know exactly how to deliver it
Insider
This is exactly why Hollywood insiders are so nervous for the Welsh actor. A-list directors and prestige studios often shy away from actors embroiled in reality TV circus acts.
My insider added: “By aligning himself with a star whose life, heartbreak, and family drama are filmed for public consumption, Taron is stepping onto a highly dangerous tightrope. Reality television thrives on conflict, and the Nader sisters know exactly how to deliver it.”
But he does not seem deterred. The pair have been painting California red over the last week, looking thoroughly besotted with one another.
Since The Sun revealed earlier this week that they were dating, they’ve been spotted holding hands outside luxury steakhouses and grabbing intimate drinks at Shutters on the Beach.
Yet, as the romance heats up, there are dark whispers in Hollywood, with some questioning the authenticity of the sudden pairing.
A more cynical insider even suggested that the highly photographed romance might be a well-orchestrated PR stunt designed to mutually boost their profiles.
‘Extremely ambitious’
Taron, despite his undeniable talent, has slipped off the radar slightly since his meteoric run with Rocketman and the Apple TV+ prison drama Black Bird.
Meanwhile, Brooks is “extremely ambitious” and “desperate” to cement her burgeoning reality TV empire.
Still a source told The Sun, Taron is “very keen” on the swimwear model, but this highly public romance is a stark departure from his roots.
Born in Birkenhead but raised in the quiet seaside town of Aberystwyth, small-town boy Taron has until now kept his private life discreet.

When he burst onto the scene as a council estate rebel turned superspy in Kingsman: The Secret Service, he was praised for his grounded nature.
He dated assistant director Emily Thomas for six years, keeping the romance strictly low-key and away from red carpets before they quietly parted ways.
However, the famously cheeky star hasn’t been entirely mute about his romantic preferences or his prowess as a boyfriend in past interviews.
Speaking to Andy Cohen, Taron confessed he wasn’t looking for a specific body type, laughing as he admitted his actual preference.
He joked “I’m probably more of an a** man… I’ve got a big butt. Quite a big round butt. When we’re walking away hand-in-hand as a couple, it’s not going to look right [if she doesn’t]. It won’t work.”
He even doubled down while reading thirsty fan tweets online during a promotional tour, cheekily declaring to the camera, “I’m quite proud of my a**, actually.”
And when he does fall for someone, he falls incredibly hard.
Recalling a romantic gesture for his ex, Emily, he once revealed, “When my girlfriend and I first got together, I took her to Claridge’s hotel in London, and I had them deliver a necklace to the room.”
He has confidently described himself in the past as an “attentive, thorough, enthusiastic” lover.
But all the attentive enthusiasm in the world might not be enough to shield him from the Nader family.

AT 36, Millie Mackintosh is navigating divorce for the second time in her life, after her seemingly fairytale marriage to Hugo Taylor collapsed earlier this year.
It’s the latest hurdle after a difficult few years, which has seen the star quit drinking and come to terms with an ADHD andanxietydiagnosis, which she hadpreviously numbed with boozeand prescription drugs. As she faces the pitfalls of divorce, insiders tell us why she has been left worrying about money and the lengths she’s gone to, to protect herself.

After seven years of marriage, Millie and Hugo, who are parents to Sienna, five, and Aurelia, four, filed for divorce earlier this month. The pair are yet to comment on the break-up but insiders suggested that Millie’s massive lifestyle overhaul played a part in the decision.
Suddenly, Millie, who is worth roughly £6million from her various business ventures over the years, went from a shared income with Hugo, who runs a luxury eyewear company, to fending for herself once again.
Hugo is thought to be worth around £4million – he launched luxury eyewear brand Taylor Morris off the back of his MIC fame, and it’s been a huge hit with the likes of everyone from David Gandy to the Beckhams.
An insider explained: “Millie has always made her own money; she didn’t rely on Hugo, but it is, of course, very different when there are two people instead of just one.
“Almost overnight, friends noticed a huge difference in her spending habits. Suddenly, she started to cut back and seemed to be really thinking about what she was buying.
“She’s worked so hard for what she’s created, and it’s terrifying not knowing what will happen. It’s causing her crippling anxiety.
“It’s very surprising to see someone like Millie fretting about money, but like any couple who has separated, it’s a shock to the system, and it will take time and effort working out how she will maintain her current lifestyle.”
Most people know Millie as one of the original cast members of Made In Chelsea – the reality show about some of London’s wealthiest 20-somethings.
She was billed as a chocolate heiress when she first burst onto the scene in 2011, but was determined to be known as more than that.
Her great-great-grandfather, John, was a Victorian entrepreneur, known as the Toffee King, who created Mackintosh’s sweet company.
A generation later, her great-grandfather and his brother invented Quality Street, which Brits know and love today, but they sold it in 1988.
Millie insisted: “People severely overestimate how wealthy I am.
“I’m routinely referred to as the heir to the Quality Street fortune, as though I hit 21 and inherited millions. If only.
“It’s not as if I get a cut every time someone eats a toffee. My family sold the business years ago. I’m comfortable, but I don’t live a flash life.”
Millie, real name Camilla, definitely has a comfortable life – her parents, Nigel and Georgina, brought her up in a £1.4million townhouse in Bath.
And as soon as she was old enough, Millie started working. She was a waitress at first and was working in Space NK when she was approached about her place on MIC when she was just 21.
She famously dated Hugo on the show, but then met and fell in love with rapper Professor Green. They married in 2013 and split in 2016.
It was a rocky relationship, with Pro Green — real name Stephen Manderson — recently admitting that he had nearly “called off” their nuptials, but they had both felt “pressured” to go through with it.
A decade on from the split, Millie and Pro have reconnected andhave bonded over both being diagnosed withADHDin recent years.
Speaking onJamie Laing’s Great Company podcast last October, Pro branded her “beautiful”, but added that the pair were toxic for one another at the time of their marriage, describing it as a “trauma bond”.
In another interview, he admitted their quickie divorce had been costly for him.
He told John Bishop: “You know what they say about divorce, it’s expensive, you know why? Because it’s worth it.
“I can’t stop working right now, my mortgage isn’t paid, I am not a house owner. The bank own my house, I own a percentage of it depending on where it sits in the market.”
The summer after their split, she rekindled things with Hugo, and it looked like they would last forever.
Second marriage split
News of their split came as a surprise, but insiders have suggested the writing had been on the wall for some time.
Millie had changed a lot in recent years – she has been open about her massive lifestyle overhaul after quitting drinking in 2022, then dealing with the ADHD and anxiety she had previously numbed with booze and prescription drugs.
What’s more, she revealed last year that, having grappled with her sexuality, she had finally admitted to herself and Hugo that she was also attracted to women.

The pair have now both appointed legal teams and have quietly started divorce proceedings.
A pal said: “Fans will be sad to hear that their relationship is really over, but the pair just want a clean break.
“Millie and Hugo are committed to co-parenting their two young children and keeping everything stable. They are still very amicable with each other and have a lot of respect for one another.
“They want the divorce to go through as painlessly as possible and are focusing on work in the meantime.”

Millie has always been a grafter – she swiftly turned her reality TV fame into an online following as an influencer, which paved the way for many after her.
She launched her own fashion brand in 2014, proudly saying at the time: “I invested my own money into setting it up.
“I own it, I model it, and they’re my designs. So I would say, yeah, I’ve kind of created my dream.”
But by 2018, the dream was over, and she lost £178,000 of her own money when the company became unsustainable.
It didn’t stop her, though, and she transformed into a lifestyle influencer, with brand deals popping up left, right and centre.
Our insider says: “Don’t be surprised if you see more and more collaborations on Millie’s social media. Her arms are very open to any opportunities that come her way.”
She even wrote a book – Bad Drunk – about her boozing issues.
She has been sober now for over three years and admitted that one of the ways she realised it was such a problem was the fact that it was “stealing her money”.
It hasn’t been an easy road to being financially secure, and the work/life juggle has proved tricky at times since she became a mum.
As a self-employed woman, Millie went back to work just three months after Sienna’s birth and, while it was difficult, she believes it was the best thing for her.
She says she gets up at the crack of dawn to get a head start on emails and tasks.
She explained: “Since becoming a mother, I really want to get the most out of work.

“Your time is your most valuable thing.
“I get up at 5am so I feel I can start my day early enough to get everything I need to do, done.”
She admits she got the “balance wrong” at first when it came to juggling work with kids.
“It weighed on me quite a lot,” she says.
“So I was actually doing some work around this in therapy, and I figured out that my weeks weren’t structured in a way that was beneficial for me and my mental health.
“I had to change the balance.
“And I now have blocked out time in my diary every week, and the kids know that I won’t be working in that time.”
The juggle has no doubt been even harder since her split from Hugo, and just a few days ago, she candidly spoke about her fears, saying: “I think recently I have found it really hard to know how to show up online because of things I’ve got going on in my personal life that I am not going to share online.
“But because I do usually share so much of my life, I felt like this gap, this resistance to posting and like letting you guys in.”
Millie certainly seems to be well aware that sharing her life with fans is helping to pay her bills at the moment, but just how much she will share is yet to be seen.
One thing is for certain, though, with her divorce looming, there is likely to be another very big bill on its way.

INFLUENCER Charlotte Greedy has left fans confused by revealing she and her partner Harriet are trying for another baby, months after they almost split.
The couple already share daughter Phoebe together, while Charlotte is a mum to sons Enzo and Brody from a previous relationship.

Influencer Charlotte Greedy has shocked fans by announcing she is trying for another baby with wife HarrietCredit: Instagram/@missgreedyshomeIt comes after the couple nearly ended their eight-year relationship last summerCredit: Instagram/@missgreedyshome
Charlotte, known as ‘missgreedyshome’ online, has over half a million Instagram followers, while her wife Harriet boasts over 100K and shares fitness content.
After tying the knot in October 2024, the couple of eight years almost split up last summer – with Charlotte even sharing a split statement before quickly retracting it.
At the time, the influencer said she was “left with no choice” due to “disrespect” in the relationship.
Since then, Harriet and Charlotte have shared several posts about their relationship and how they have battled through its ups and downs.
And now seemingly in a much stronger place, the couple are once again expanding the family.
Sitting down for a new video, they told the camera: “We’re going to try for another baby.”
Charlotte- who had a tummy tuck last year – went on the explain that having more children is something the couple have been thinking about for a while.
She said: “We’ve been talking about this for a few months. Harriet has been set on it and I’ve kind of been on the fence, leaning back off the fence, and now I’ve fallen frontwards off the fence.
“We just love being mums, and, I think, the boys are growing up; Enzo is nearly 13, Brody is 10 and Phoebe is now two.

“I can’t stand the thought of not having another one. You guys sent an incredible quote to me the other week saying that you’ll never regret the baby you have but you will regret not having that baby.
“And, it just, kind of cemented it for us, didn’t it?”
Charlotte went on to explain that they were only going to have another child if they could use the same sperm donor they previously used to have Phoebe.
Adding that it was “meant to be”, Charlotte said the couple were successful in reserving the same sperm and are set to undergo IUI (Intrauterine Insemination), as opposed to IVF.
They are set to begin the first round in May, with the couple assuring they are set to take fans with them throughout the journey.
While the comment section of the post was filled with friends and fans congratulating the couple, some were also confused about the massive switch up from their previous split woes.
One Instagram user commented: “I say this with respect, but I can’t help thinking about the posts you shared not long ago about you and Harriet splitting up and going through marriage counselling.
“Bringing a baby into the situation is a huge step, and I just hope it’s coming from a place of real stability rather than trying to fix things. A child deserves a secure and settled environment.”
Giving her side of the story, Charlotte replied to the comment: “We have been together nearly 10 years and had many a blip like others I’m sure, we already have 3 kids who have ‘stability’ but thank you for your message.
“I’m sure it doesn’t come from a bad place, our blip was over a year ago now & we share real life and real life will always have its ups and downs.”

INFLUENCER Lydia Millen has revealed she’s finally snapped up her dream home after a six-year search just as her “fake accent” was exposed.

Lydia posted a series of coastal snaps from her new property in Norfolk.
The 36-year-old opened up about the long journey in a heartfelt caption as she prepares to add another property to her portfolio.
Writing rather than speaking to her followers, she penned: “We bought a new home.
“Six years ago we began our search, first in the Cotswolds, and then after a trip to Cley-next-the-Sea where we completely fell in love with the Norfolk coast, our search moved there.
“We looked for something special but never quite found it.
“Until October, when I stumbled across a 200-year-old fisherman’s cottage. And last week, we finally completed.”
Even modest cottages on the Norfolk coast can fetch £300,000, while prime properties soar past £1million.
The new coastal bolthole marks a lifestyle shift for Lydia and Ali, who have long documented their countryside life online.
The crumbling cottage is expected to undergo a full-scale transformation, with fans already anticipating a series of renovation updates across her social platforms.
Lydia explained: “It needs everything. Heating, rewiring, kitchen, bathroom, windows. A full renovation.
“But one day hollyhocks will grow in the front garden again, and Paul’s Himalayan musk roses will ramble their way back across the flint and brick facade.”

Lydia has previously revealed she owns multiple properties, all mortgage-free, explaining she “doesn’t like having debt”.
The influencer has faced backlash in recent months, with some fans accusing her of not being entirely truthful about her roots.
Born in Watford, Hertfordshire, Lydia has spoken openly about growing up in a council house with her mum after her parents split.
She has previously said she “flunked” her GCSEs before training as a beauty therapist.
Before finding fame online, Lydia also spent seasons working in Ibiza.
Her social media career took off after moving to the countryside, where she spotted a gap in the market for aspirational British lifestyle content.
However, critics have claimed she has “reinvented” herself including adopting a more polished speaking voice.
Responding to one follower who asked why she had changed the way she speaks, Lydia said: “Because I just don’t see why I shouldn’t?
“I value being well spoken, and I know it also helps my international audience.”
Now a social media powerhouse, Lydia shares her idyllic country lifestyle with 1.6million Instagram followers, 1.4million on TikTok and more than one million YouTube subscribers.
The TikTok star is married to Ali Gordon, whom she met on Instagram in 2012.
The pair tied the knot in December 2017 at Aynhoe Park in Oxfordshire and are now thought to be worth around £10million.

ANASTACIA Kingsnorth has been a queen of social media since starting her YouTube Channel aged 11 – but now a fierce backlash is threatening her empire.

Her height meant she could scoop up a pink water bottle branded with the Air Up logo before she took a sip.
The slurp appeared to transport her into both a new location – the roof of Buckingham Palace – and a new denim pinstripe outfit.
She wrapped the clip by visiting locations including St Paul’s Cathedral and Big Ben.
Yet on TikTok, her followers have alleged she has used AI to create the scenes – and claimed the technology goes against Air Up’s environmentally friendly credentials.
Criticisms came from two angles – the nature of content creation as a creative process, and also for AI using huge volumes of water, seemingly going against green principles.
The Sun has gone to Anastacia’s rep for comment.
Fans have claimed Anastacia, whose content focusses on lifestyle, leisure and beauty, has abandoned the “creative process” with her latest venture.
One TikTok user, who works in marketing, ranted: “Honestly, I am not happy about it.
“And I don’t think a lot of people are, judging by the comments on the video”.

And talking of weight loss, we know all about what is going on with B&M queen Becki Jones, which you can read up on here.
If health influencers are your thing, then read this on the man behind Tonic Health and his dubious claims here.
She added: “It really cuts down on what content creation really is.
“If you work in marketing like myself you will know that this is totally wrong.
“The whole point of content creation is creative process”.
Fans of Anastacia, who has previously collaborated with ITV bosses for a Love Island promotion, continued to take to the comments in fury.
One simply posted: “Who’s idea was this?? Omg”.
A second mused: “I do like some of their content, but Ana and her family don’t seem hugely aware or maybe even that bothered by environmental issues unfortunately. (a LOT of consumption etc!)”.
A third added: “The funny part about it is , the ad is for a refillable water bottle (to try and tackle plastic waste etc) but then it the ad is literally AI!! you couldn’t write it honestly”.
A fourth mused: “The hypocrisy of these ‘influencers’ is gross tbh”.
“I’m surprised the brand approved it to be honest…says a lot about them too! I think being aware of the environmental impact AI has is important too”.
And another user surmised: “For me its the context of the ad being for a refillable water bottle while using AI which uses tons of water. It is a little ironic”.
Campaigners have previously flagged the significant carbon, energy and water use that AI requires.
Previously, Sasha Luccioni, climate lead at AI company Hugging Face told The Guardian: “What I’m worried about is that we’re deploying AI in such a way that we don’t have a good idea of the energy use.
“We’re essentially operating on the hypothesis that it’s not a problem – or that if it is a problem it will somehow be solved – instead of getting ahead of it.”
While Anastacia has posted the video to her Instagram grid, the brand is yet to feature it on their page.

TikTok star Becki Jones stood up for herself on the platformCredit: TikTok/@beckijonesxxBecki spoke about how trolling about her weight affected herCredit: You Tube/@ Not Always A PrincessAnd said she shouldn’t have to explain her weight loss to anyoneCredit: TikTok/@beckijonesxx
Becki told her 1.3 million followers during a TikTok Live last year that she “wasn’t ready” to share how she’d transformed her image but in her latest video, said she’d been through some of the hardest times in her life while losing weight.
In the video she posted a montage of moments from recent months that showed her swimming in a pool, going to concerts, showing off cute outfits and working out in her room.
In a voiceover she started by saying that she doesn’t understand why she has to explain every detail of her life to strangers.
“Yes, I do put myself on a public platform. Yes, I post my life. But why should I have to defend myself against people’s thoughts on my weight loss?” she began.
“I’ve said I have not had surgery in any form or any medication to help aid weight loss.
“In 2023, I even considered gastric sleeve surgery myself but I changed my mind.”
Becki continued: “As you can imagine it is exhaust trying to prove something to people who don’t want to change their mind about you.
“I feel like I am an easy target for people to bully because that’s what broke me last year.”
The influencer said that while she did understand that some of her followers wanted to learn about her weight loss, others thought she owed them an explanation.
“I simply and politely don’t want to talk about it.

“I’ve been through some of the worst times of my life whilst losing weight and still some days are hard now and now I’m being a little closed off and only letting a few things out, but can we just stop and think about how things affect me?” Becki asked.
“Yes, I feel good in myself most days, but I have hard days just like every human does.
“I have my own fears and problems that I’m trying to overcome each day, which makes talking about weight loss Extremely difficult.”
She explained how a lot of her followers “speculated on things” happening in her life, “and one day I may talk more deeply about it all but it’s hard as a content creator to tell your story without being judged.”
Becki went on to thank her “loyal supporters” for their support and who “compliment my weight without wanting an explanation”.
She became famed on TikTok for her ‘what I eat in a day’ videos, which showed her enjoying foods such asMcDonalds for breakfast, takeaways and treats.
Last year, a source told The Sun why Becki really left social media, and why she returned.
They explained: “Everyone knows Becki took six months offline because she felt the trolling had become too much.
“It was a real chance to reflect on her life and the main cause of issues – her weight. She’s also a secret smoker, so really did start to feel like her lifestyle wasn’t doing her any favours.
“Once she started losing some weight, she felt a new wave of confidence and when she returned online and saw the reaction to the way she looked, it really spurred her on.”
They added: “It’s the same when she was larger and the more she ate, the more people watched her videos. At the end of the day, it’s all about engagement and making money. It’s addictive.”

TIKTOK sensation DJ AG once earned an entire year’s salary in just one month after going viral on the app.

“Prior to that I was monetising on TikTok and doing very well,” he continued, and confirmed there were some months when he earned more than £40,000.
“People don’t know how TikTok works, it’s not just posting content. You can go live, you can do co-host battles with people and that’s a call to action, people will support you with gifting.”
DJ AG also earns money on TikTok by doing ‘forfeit challenges,’ where two content creators go head-to-head and the loser has to undertake an intense dare.
“I was bantering and people were enjoying the content so people were gifting, and I earned a good amount of money,” he said.
“Maybe in one month, I earned more than a year’s salary.”
He explained he is earning less from TikTok now because he’s only doing the outdoor DJ sets and there’s no “call to action” to encourage people to send monetary gifts.
DJ AG said he was happy to talk about his earnings because he wanted to be honest with up-and-coming content creators, not only about the financial gains, but also the huge amount of work that goes in to being a hip hop star.

“People don’t understand the amount of hours I had to do, like 15 hours a day every day,” he said.
“In my opinion, it’s important to be transparent especially for the youth that are coming through so they understand what the opportunities are.”
People who post on TikTok have the opportunity to join the TikTok Creator Fund, which pays content creators for their views.
To join the program TikTokers must be 18 or older, have a minimum of 10,000 followers, a minimum of 100,000 views within 30 days of uploading the video, and run an account that follows TikTok Community Guidelines.
While it is not a grant or ad revenue program, the Creator Fund provides payment to qualified TikTokers based on a “variety of factors” across their content.
“We want all creators to have the opportunity to earn money doing what they love and turn their passion into a livelihood,” the website continues.
With no limit on the number of qualified TikTokers who can join the fund, payments may increase or decrease at different times throughout one’s run on the platform.
Some factors affecting the funds a qualified TikToker may earn include the number of authentic views per video, the amount of engagement, and whether or not the work falls within the Community Guidelines.
But DJ AG also warned that being an influencer took a lot of workCredit: tiktok
Becki Jones has made a cryptic comment about ‘not being honest’ with fans amid swirling rumours about fat jabs and weight loss surgeryCredit: Tiktok/@tvyoutubeclips2Becki rose to fame on TikTok and was known for her showing fans what she ate each day – which often included sweet treats and takeawaysCredit: Instagram/@beckijonesxxLast year, she took a break from the platform and returned significantly smaller – denying she had used jabs or undergone surgery
Becki replied: “I have been honest about everything that needs to be said.
“The only thing I haven’t told you about is what I’ve been through and what I’m currently battling with as well. It’s nothing that will benefit anybody knowing, so, yeah.”
Later on in the stream, she said: “I did not come back to TikTok in September to be like, ‘Guys! I’ve lost weight’.
“That was not my intention, it was not my goal. Like I’ve said, my page was never gonna be ‘Becki Jones for fitness’ or ‘Becki Jones for how to lose weight’.
“That’s never been my goal for my journey on TikTok or as a content creator.”
Becki added: “I’ve come back and to be fair, most of my weight I’ve lost has been since September.”
Fans in the comment section still weren’t convinced by her comments, as one wrote: “People just want honesty… period!”
“Just give people a straight answer, especially your loyal followers,” echoed another.
However, others defended that it was “nobody’s business” what Becki has done.
Last year, a source told The Sun why Becki really left social media, and why she returned.
They explained: “Everyone knows Becki took six months offline because she felt the trolling had become too much.
“It was a real chance to reflect on her life and the main cause of issues – her weight. She’s also a secret smoker, so really did start to feel like her lifestyle wasn’t doing her any favours.

WHEN Gaz Beadle and Emma McVey announced their split in 2023, their fans were shocked.
Geordie Shore lothario Gaz had always described the model, who he had two children with, as his ‘rock’. But, just months after she underwent heart surgery, Gaz announced their eight-year relationship was over. Now, insiders tell us tension has been bubbling behind the scenes.

Things are said to have reached boiling point after Gaz announced he was expecting a baby with his new girlfriend, Maia, 13 years his junior.
Our insider says: “Gaz and Emma have both moved on and are in happy, loving relationships with new people.
“But fans have noticed there is a level of competitiveness between them, and they seem to be trying to outdo each other.
“Emma got engaged, and then Gary announced he was having a baby. It was a huge shock and very eye-opening.
“She feels like she has a very small group of loyal friends, and exactly who they are has become very clear since her split from Gary.”
It’s certainly not the first time Emma has been blindsided by Gaz – she was shocked when he announced they had split during a Q&A with fans.
He casually revealed they had split three weeks prior and insisted there was no bad blood between the couple, who share kids Chester, eight, and Primrose, six.
Sources said Emma felt it was ‘unfair’ and was keen to announce it to her own followers herself.
She didn’t shy away from how hard the breakup was, in contrast to Gaz’s laissez-faire attitude.
In a heartbreaking post, she told her followers: “It’s been really hard for me and the kids to be separated. There’s been a lot of crying on FaceTime, which really breaks my heart.
“I’ve been numb and focusing on my children while still trying to work. I’ve honestly not known what to say. I’m hoping this will get easier in time.
“Sending so much love to anyone going through something similar, and thank you so much to everyone who has been checking in on me.”

Our insider
And when she moved on with a new man and a fan accused her of being unfaithful, she shot back with a jibe that appeared to be aimed at Gary: “I was unfaithful? What with someone I met 7 months after my separation? No darlin, you clearly have NO IDEA who was unfaithful.”
Our insider continued: “There was tension from the get-go but they masked it pretty well. They both doted on their kids whenever they had them, but fans noticed how they often posted competing snaps. If Gary took them to the park, the next week Emma took them to a theme park.”
Cheating allegations
Emma and Gaz first started dating in 2016, but just a year later, they called time on their relationship, with Emma accusing Gaz of cheating and dumping her by text.
She ranted: “When he’s been filming Geordie Shore, he decided to send me a TEXT ending things, telling me to move my stuff out of OUR home that I furnished and paid for without explanation.

“After begging me to go to Australia with him and making me leave my career, I still find out he still managed to cheat on me throughout our relationship and continually lie.”
But the pair reconciled, and in 2017, they announced they were having a baby. Their son Chester was born in January 2018, and their second child, a daughter named Primrose, was born in December 2019.
Gary popped the question while she was pregnant with baby number two – the whole thing was filmed.
They tied the knot in 2021 in front of 90 guests and their kids in Cheshire.
Bedding 1000 women
Gary appeared to be a very different man – his wild Geordie Shore days were well in the past.
He once boasted about sleeping with over 1000 women – his tumultuous relationship with Charlotte Crosby was well documented – but after quitting the show in 2017, he turned his life around.
He told us previously: “My life couldn’t be more different.
“My DM’s have changed dramatically, I can tell you that. It’s gone from mum’s wanting to shag me to mums and dads talking about colic, acid reflux, nappies, and bath toys.
“I had ten-years of partying and doing whatever I wanted. I was so used to life being all about me then I had a baby and quickly realised life wasn’t about me anymore.”
It wasn’t an easy time for any of them, as Emma suffered a series of debilitating health issues
The model, who once dated Towie’s Mario Falcone, had no idea she’d been born with three holes in her heart until a monitor was fitted following her second pregnancy.
Emma’s new man has slotted into family life – and now lives with Primrose and ChesterCredit: InstagramMaia has also grown close to the kidsCredit: Instagram
She’d suffered years of seizures, exhaustion and fainting episodes – but while the diagnosis was illuminating, medics were cautious about operating because Emma is also battling ulcerative colitis.
The condition, which affects roughly one in 420 in the UK, causes ulcers and inflammation in the digestive tract.
The steroid treatment used to treat it can lead to bone loss and breakage, which doctors warned could stop Emma’s bones from fusing back together.
I thought, ‘I’m going to get put to sleep and I’m not coming back out’.
Emma, on her heart surgery
Around Christmas time of 2023, her tricuspid valve – the valve between the two right chambers of the heart – further deteriorated, and the decision was made to proceed with the op in spite of the risks.
She later said: “I knew in surgery I’d be connected to a heart machine that would be keeping me alive while my heart was stopped, and I kept thinking, ‘They’re not going to be able to start my heart again’.
“I thought, ‘I’m going to get put to sleep, and I’m not coming back out’.”
It was a life-changing experience for all the family, and made their split even more surprising.
It wasn’t long until they both moved on, though. Emma started dating electrician James Staszewsky, and he became a huge part of her life and that of the kids as they set up home.
Gary had a brief romance with pro golf star Charley Hull, before falling for student Maia.
In what some felt was a dig at influencer Emma, Gary gushed about Maia: “I like how she’s got a normal job. Like, she got in at 8 o’clock this morning after leaving at half past 7 last night… 13 hours. She’s doing it again tonight, it’s inspirational.
Emma underwent heart surgery shortly before her split from GazLoved-up Emma with her new man – the couple are now planning to head down the aisleCredit: Instagram
“It almost brings me down a peg and I think that’s why I’m getting more normal and normal.
“I just love to pop to the pub for a bit of food and a walk with the dog, cutting the grass, like, I’ve become quite a normal boring person.”
The romances both came under fire and in a very surprising move they joined forces once again in order to issue a lengthy statement in which they addressed their marriage ending and the attention their new romances had gained.
‘One team’
Gaz hit back to insist they are “really good friends” and that they are both “happy and happy for one another” despite being in “new relationships”.
He added: “Both of us are in new relationships and we all get along well, and we can say we are so proud of ourselves to be able to all stay as one team.”
We’re told it was a brief period of calm for all parties involved but it wasn’t long that changed.
Gaz’s baby news was said to be one of those moments that rocked the boat.
Only a couple of years ago, Gaz had told The Sun he wouldn’t be having more kids, he said: “Two is hard enough. I think if you asked us before we may have said three but that was before we realised how hard it is.
“If we had two boys or two girls, then maybe it would be different but we have one of each, which is perfect.”

The show may not have aired in the UK yet, but Maura’s sharp sense of humour has already made her a fan favourite in the States.
It was that same quick wit that made her hugely popular on Love Island, before she won over viewers again during her stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
After filming wrapped on the US series at Ardross Castle in Scotland last June, Maura walked away feeling confident she had smashed it, according to pals.
Traitors US began on January 8 and attracted 638 million viewing minutes which proved a streaming record for the show, now on its fourth series.
Maura was asked about their relationship when she appeared on US talk show Watch What Happens Live recently.
Host Andy Cohen told her: “The internet wants you and Rob to get together.”
Rob certainly showed his appreciation for the Irish star by gifting her a £17,000 Hermès Birkin bag.
A credit to her rising popularity, Maura has now signed up with top-tier agency Align PR, whose clients include Madonna and Hollywood stars Matthew McConaughey and Bryce Dallas Howard.
In March last year, the star revealed that she had been invited to lunch with Margot Robbie.
The actress is a huge Love Island fan and previously described Maura as one of her favourite contestants.
Maura wrote on Instagram: “When Margot Robbie invites you to lunch . . . you go.”

The fashion vlogger, who first launched her channel in 2013, gave fans an update, revealing she had been put into early menopause.
Gabriella bravely opened up about how she was set to have a hysterectomy.
This type of surgery is very rare for a woman her age and involves removing her womb.
However, preparing for the operation has had some extreme side effects, which she has now shared with fans.
Taking to her latest Instagram Stories, Gabriella bravely penned: “Are you going through early menopause?!
“I was put on medication to induce the menopause before I have a hysterectomy as it helps some people’s endo symptoms – and it helps the team know what HRT to put me on after surgery based on how I reacted to the menopause med.
“I’ve actually been told to stop taking it 2 weeks before my op (which is now).
“So I’m having a really glamorous mix of menopause symptoms and withdrawal from the meds at the same time and it’s hell.”
The star also shared a selfie of her giving a thumbs down and she emotionally wrote over the snap: “Not doing so well over here.”
The influencer also revealed that her sleep had been badly affected by her symptoms.
The 12 warning signs of early menopause
Early menopause happens when a woman’s periods stop before the age of 45. It can happen naturally, or as a side effect of some treatments.
For most women, the menopause starts between the ages of 45 and 55.
The main symptom of early menopause is periods becoming infrequent or stopping altogether without any other reason (such as pregnancy).
Some women may also get other typical menopausal symptoms, including:
Hot flushes
Night sweats
Changing periods
Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex
Difficulty sleeping
Low mood or anxiety
Headaches
Reduced sex drive
Problems with memory and concentration
Joint stiffness, aches and pains
Recurrent urinary tract infections
Reduced muscle mass
“Going into the menopause is all well and good until it gives you insane insomnia to the point where your Sultrahumanhg ring says your ideal bedtime is 5am!” she wrote.
Gabriella is best known for her fashion and make-up vlogs where she often shows off her huge hauls of goodies.
Over the last 13 years she has built up a huge following and has amassed nearly 600K fans on Instagram, and almost 1M on YouTube.
Gabriella got her first big break in 2014 when she teamed up with YouTuber OG Zoella, for a beauty haul collaboration.

The two then went on to become best friends before a fall out around ten years ago.
Speaking at the time, Gabriella addressed the feud in a lengthy video.
“Sometimes people just grow apart, that’s what happens,” she told fans.
“To be honest I’m quite upset about mine and Zoe’s friendship because we were so close at one point.
“So close. And I classed her as my absolute best friend. Part of the reason we’re not close now is probably my fault.”
