Though now Molly-Mae has hinted this pregnancy could be her final maternity journey.
In her new YouTube clip entitled A Week With Me and Prepping For My Baby Shower, she told how she had originally planned her celebrations to be an outdoor cinema event at her home.
Yet she changed things up after thinking she would be “dreading” it and feeling “anxious” about bringing friends together from different groups.
She said: “I thought no it’s just a lot, so I thought just swerve it basically.
“So I ended up swerving it – sorry I have really got verbal diarrhrea – but I also was like well this might be my last baby.
“I really want to do something to celebrate it”.
Molly-Mae then planned a baby brunch event in Manchester, with a jeans and a nice top dress code.
Though her family plans might have poured cold water on Tommy’s dreams of a bigger brood.
Previously, Tommy told a Love Island spin off show: “In 10 years’ time I’d definitely like to see myself married with kids; four kids, five kids, 20 kids – whatever.”
During the chat, Molly’s mouth then dropped open as she exclaimed: “FIVE kids?”
He smiled: “Yeah, I want an army of kids.”

From Love Island to a diamond ring and baby – we look at how Molly and Tommy have got to where they are today.
But the influencer refused to entertain the idea, and told him: “Well that’s not happening, we’re not doing five kids. Two, maximum.”
In another chat, he explained: “Apart from boxing, having a family is what I’m really looking forward to”.
Tyson admitted: “My love life’s thriving, I’m having sex at least four or five times a week.
“Paris, she is that ride-or-die chick. The woman’s been my wife for 20 years near on.
“Is she the luckiest lady on Earth? One hundred per cent.”

Olivia, who was wearing a £2k leather jacket from Magda Butrym, and Pete were snapped by a fan at the Broadwick Hotel in London’s Soho on Friday evening.
The fan said: “Everyone knows they’re dating now even though they’ve not confirmed it, but it was still surprising to see the PDA.
“It goes beyond the hand on arm and hugging we’ve seen from them in public since the pics of them kissing first emerged.
“They just looked like a normal couple on date night, holding hands.
Earlier in the day, Olivia and Pete looked equally loved up as they smoked a cigarette outside a London office.
The pair only had eyes for each other as they chatted happily together.
Olivia was dressed casually in a white tracksuit, as she enjoyed her new man’s company.
It comes after the new couple have just returned from a secret getaway to the South of France.
The pair, who were also spotted on a romantic dog walk, were seen collecting their luggage from the baggage carousel at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport in the South of France on Sunday.

Former Love Island star Olivia, and podcast co-host Pete flew Business Class on British Airways from London’s Heathrow to Nice.
An onlooker said: “They were seen at the gate and they were very loved-up and cuddling each other.
“They were trying to keep a low profile by wearing baseball caps.
“They were kissing at the gate and couldn’t keep their hands off each other.

“They were sitting in Business Class together.
“At the luggage carousel they were cuddling and kissing and headed off together.”
Olivia and Pete usually host their own Kiss FM radio show together on Sundays but were absent from the programme this week as they jetted off on their secret holiday.
The Sun revealed how the pair enjoyed a three-night break at the luxury Lily of the Valley hotel in St Tropez – costing £1,000 a night.
Eagle-eyed fans mused how they had spotted Pete’s trademark glasses on the table in one of Olivia’s social media pics from the trip
It led one fan to remark to The Sun: “It seems they tried to keep it all under wraps but seeing Pete’s glasses in the background of Olivia’s snaps appeared to give the game away.”
The Sun has contacted reps for Olivia and Pete for comment.
ZACH Noble’s fans have been left horrified after they spotted a concerning detail in his sweet post with pregnant girlfriend Ava Hirons.
The Love Island star, 28, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a series of pictures of the pair on holiday.

The couple are seen posing up a storm on a boat as they went scuba diving in the blue water and kicked back in the sea for the loved-up snaps.
However, in two pictures, Zach was spotted puffing on a cigarette, which left his fans concerned, especially since Ava, 24, is pregnant with their first child.
One person commented: “Smoking around her is crazy.”
Another Instagram user expressed: “Ok Zacahriah. How are you so into fitness and smoking. Noo not when your about to go into fatherhood. Just NO.”
Somebody else warned: “Second hand smoke is a thing, be careful.”
Yet another said: “I can’t believe people smoke in this day and age! It’s not like the old days when people didn’t know how harmful it is. You’re going to be a dad c’mon set a good example.”’
While a fifth concerned fan added: “Please don’t smoke around your pregnant girlfriend and especially the newborn.
“Second hand smoke can increase the risk of SIDS massively. Perfect time to try quitting.”
The pair announced they’re expecting their first child together in February as he shared a scan picture on Instagram and penned: “Incoming summer ‘26.”
The two had previously dropped many telltale hints that suggested they had a baby on the way.
On December 18, Zach took to his Instagram stories revealing to fans that he had just received the “greatest news.”
He wrote: “Just found out the greatest news I think I’ve ever received. God must be real. Time to grind like never before.”
That same day Ava, who is daughter of This Morning star Caroline Hirons, took to her own page to repost an Instagram reel about pregnancy fitness training.
She then went on to upload one of her staple TikTok videos of her dancing where a baby bump could be seen peeking out underneath her hoodie.
They announced they were expecting back in February
In the following days, the pair also both followed a host of parenting accounts.
Earlier this week, Zach and Ava announced their baby’s gender with a carousel of recent pictures to tell fans the happy news.
The first photo saw a stripey baby grow, hat, tiny shoes and 3D ultrasound pictures laid out on a bed.
In another snap, the couple cuddled up and beamed in delight.
They were both wearing black but Ava had her hair tied back in a blue scarf…
And, you might have guessed it, Ava and Zach captioned the post: “It’s a boy.”
Elsewhere, the former basketball player was spotted kissing Ava’s growing bump.
Their relationship was confirmed in October after the pair were caught by a TikTok influencer while having a stroll in London.
They solidified their relationship further by moving in with each other last month, in anticipation for the birth of their child.

For the first time, BBC will air the first ever full-length series of the show – six episodes filmed across six weeks – as the celebrities will face a range of weekly business challenges set by the business mogul

For the first time ever, BBC will air the first ever full-length series of the show – six episodes filmed across six weeks – as the celebrities face a range of weekly business challenges set by the business mogul.
Competing for the chance to win a £100,000 donation to a charity of their choice, they will each be hoping to prove their business acumen and ultimately be crowned The Celebrity Apprentice winner.
There will be another change to this star-studded series – the boardroom will relocate to a London City skyscraper, providing a distinctive new setting for Lord Sugar’s final deliberations.
The full line up includes Alexandra Burke, actor Danny Miller, presenter Gethin Jones, dancer and presenter Jordan Banjo, journalist Kay Burley, actress and online personality Maddie Grace Jepson, presenter, podcaster and content creator Max Balegde, Gladiator Sheli McCoy, UK garage legend DJ Spoony, TV and BBC Radio 2 presenter Richie Anderson, comedian and writer Laura Smyth and television personality Toni Laites.
Lord Sugar said: “We’ve not done anything like this before, and it’ll be entertaining to see these 12 celebrities being put through six weeks of some brilliant business challenges. But just because they’re celebrities, it doesn’t mean they’re going to get an easy ride, especially when there’s £100,000 at stake for their chosen charity.”
Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment Commissioning at the BBC says: “This brand-new full-length series of The Celebrity Apprentice takes everything audiences love about the format and turns the pressure right up. This year’s celebrities arrive with strong reputations – but in the boardroom, status counts for nothing.
“They’ll be tested on leadership, teamwork and commercial instinct, and only those who can truly deliver will make it through. It’s bold, unpredictable and hugely entertaining – and viewers are in for a brilliant ride.”
Broadcast details for The Celebrity Apprentice will be confirmed in due course. The announcement comes after Karishma Vijay was crowned the winner of the BBC business show last week after an all-female final, which saw her battle it out for Lord Sugar’s coveted investment against Pascha Myhill.
Karishma, from Surrey, recounted the moment Lord Sugar told her she had won and would be receiving his £250,000 investment, and said: “I was so blown away, so shocked – but I kept it very cool. Then, I got in my car and I was screaming. It was just insane – I can’t believe I’ve gone and done it after not having watched the show, I feel like that’s so cheeky.”
Explaining his decision on the hit BBC show, Lord Sugar said: “As always, it was close competition in the final after two outstanding pitches by two brilliant young businesswomen. But Karishma really impressed me throughout the process and has proven why she deserves my investment. She’s a proper grafter and she’s got that entrepreneurial spirit that I always look for. The cosmetics industry is one I know a lot about, and I know our partnership will pave the way for a bright future.”
With its sunsoaked Californian desert setting, A-list celeb guests and top music acts, hip US festival Coachella might look like the dream destination when scrolling through the Instagram feed of one of the myriad of Love Island stars in attendance.
But while influencers are given the VIP experience, thanks to the brands who pay big bucks to take them there for free, the reality for normal punters can be a whole different story.

As the cult festival kicks off its second consecutive weekend in Palm Springs, social media has been awash with complaints from regular folk exposing the ‘truth’ about what it’s like to go there as a non VIP – and it makes for some pretty grim reading.
From nightmarish queues for cold showers, to hefty £3,000 price tags for three days at the event, various TikTok testimonials may make you think twice before booking for next year’s gig.
As someone who went as a normal person and not as an influencer, it was one of the worst concert experiences I’ve ever had,” TikTok user @lottiestars ranted in a recent social media video.
“Firstly, there’s no place for you to be dropped off. The festival is, like, really disorganised. So I remember we asked 20 different people: ‘Where do we go?’ and they they were like: ‘Oh, we don’t know’. And they actually worked for the event! So you’ll end up sitting in traffic for most of the time before you can find a spot and get dropped off.”
She added that when she then finally arrived, the event proved a nightmare for her pal who was disabled.
“You have another what feels like an hour long walk to actually get into the festival, you have to do is on this super dusty, bumpy, unpaved road, which was really hard for my friend because they were in a wheelchair… they kept getting knocked over and falling out of their wheelchair, so it was not like wheelchair accessible.”
Once inside the venue, Lottie alleged that the atmosphere was not enjoyable thanks to a myriad of influencers creating a stressful environment.
“Everyone’s vibe is really, really bad. A lot of people were pretty mean. They’re like, ‘No, you’re not coming this way and stuff, you can’t go through’ so it’s harder to work your way through the crowd or to reconnect through your friends.
“It’s not as easy to take cute pictures as you think. Literally, everyone’s taking pictures. It’s like a field of cow, but instead of cows, it’s people.”
To top it all, Lottie wrapped up her video by claiming she got sick from the notorious desert winds.

She said: “I was so sick because during the daytime, it’s burning hot, and then at nighttime, it’s freezing cold, and the dust is really, really intense. Like, you’ll blow your nose, and they’ll be black dirt coming out of your nose.
“The third night, I couldn’t even enjoy the festival, and I probably was only there for like 30 minutes and I had to leave.”
And it seems this is far from a one-off negative review.
The Strokes fan @emilyjadebispo says her experience watching her favourite band was ruined by influencers who were only there to watch Justin Bieber and had no idea about ‘festival etiquette’.
She claimed: “The people around me who were there for Justin Bieber were f***ing insufferable. Oh, my God. It’s like they have never been to a festival before. They have no idea what it’s like that other genres exist.
“They are just completely unaware of any sort of concert etiquette at all. The people to my left, during one of my favourite bands sets, were talking the entire time saying: ‘I don’t even know who this is. What even is this? This is really honestly killing my vibe for Bieber.’”
For those who camp and aren’t holed up in pricey villas like the influencer crowd, some describe the experience as “endurance training.”

@huioyg3 said in one TikTok video: “Basic shower access has turned into a survival challenge, people are waiting in line for hours just to get a quick rinse, often with freezing cold water.
“To avoid this nightmare, some festival goers are spending hundreds of dollars on portable shower setups, building their own tents just to maintain a sense of hygiene.
“Another issue is making things worse, extreme heat. Phones are overheating, energy levels are dropping, and what’s supposed to be a fun four day experience is starting to feel more like endurance training.”
Of course, the biggest issue for many is how the festival impacted their wallet.
General admission tickets cost around $799 [£590] for three days, while VIP – which allows you to get closer to the stage and gives you a shuttle pass into the venue – will mean you shell out even more, clocking in around $1299 [£959].
“Coachella started as a low price event to protest against high cost events,” one music fan vented online.
“How are people affording this?” fumed another.
Some, however, claimed it was worth the price of VIP.
“It was 100% worth it We do get closer viewing to some of the stages. And honestly, when the big performers do come out, it gets super packed,” said tiktok user @noesilva
If you shun camping though, hotels can be extortionate due to high demand, as Noa explains.
“Next thing I spent money on was a hotel, which was the most expensive part. It was $2,300 [£1698] for three nights, and I know it sounds like a lot of money, but for me personally, I was not going to go camping.
And finally, you got to think of all the extra expenses that are probably gonna be happening during the trip, which is food, drinks, merch, like all the extra stuff that you’re going to be paying for, and realistically, that’s going to cost me around $500 [£370]. So in total, this trip is costing me around $4,000 [£2950].”
Another furious former Coachella fan, Nick Holiday, summed it up in a top-rated TikTok video.
“They’re charging $100 [£74]for one bite of caviar, four chicken nuggets and seven french fries. That’s honestly a crime against humanity.”

The 26-year-old, dubbed the “Candyman,” has owned sweet business, Sweet Delivery since 2019.
His business journey started in the back of his VW Polo, where he sold pick and mix out of pizza boxes in his local area, Hertford.
But now, it seems the TV star has faced a slew of backlash from fans who are simply not happy with the business’s customer service.
Taking to TikTok Sean was forced to apologise for his business’s mishaps.
He said: “Our customer service has been shocking. I sincerely apologise for this. Recently we’ve had a large amount of orders come through the door, where to be honest we had a system in place for our customer service but there was not enough time and effort put into that.
“However, I have got some exciting news we now have a dedicated staff member that will be working Monday to Friday on all your customer queries.”
Despite the addition of a new staff member, fans are still waiting to hear back on their orders.
Sean continued: “Now I know there’s some of you still waiting to hear back from us; I do kindly ask as annoyed as you may be please send us another email.”
The Islander then confessed: “If I’m being honest it’s been an eye-opener for myself to see how important customer service is. I do apologise to anyone being upset and frustrated that they haven’t received their order yet.
“I’m making a change and it’s going to be an amazing change moving forward.”
The 26-year-old told fans he had hired another staff member to help with customer serviceCredit: Tiktok/@sweet_delivery
Fans in the comments of his apology video were very divided.
One fan penned: “Honestly this kind of accountability is really refreshing to see, and it’s clear you’ve taken the feedback seriously and put steps in place to fix things…”
Another fan wrote: “Are you for real! How can you not realise customer service is important it’s what makes and breaks a business.”
A third person said: “Well said Sean, holding your hands up is always the best way.”
Meanwhile, a fourth fan added: “I think you just blew up faster than you thought you would.”
Sean returned from the Love Island villa back in February and after a short break in Paris with his new girlfriend Lucinda Strafford, who he met on the show, he has been back to business.

Jack looked pleased with himself after he met with producers for a big project for a Channel 5 show.
He sported a retro look in an 1980s Sergio Tacchini tracksuit which caught the attention of a few passer by who stopped to take selfies with Jack.
Jack added a pair of aviator sunglasses to his look and black trainers.
He looked in a high spirits after spending the afternoon with bosses for a secret new telly appearance, which is yet to be announced.
Jack opened up on life post rehab as he took to Instagram.
He admitted that he’s currently homeless and is not sure where to go moving forward as there’s nothing “much left” for him in England.
He said: “In case anyone is wondering where I am, I’m staying a hotel with the dog. I’m just gonna reset and work out what to do and where I wanna live.
“Got my beautiful dog Elvis, without him I probably wouldn’t even be here to be honest.”
Jack has owned his black Cane Corso dog, named Elvis, since at least September 2022, when the dog was involved in a biting incident.
Despite legal trouble regarding the dog being “dangerously out of control” in 2022 and June 2024, Jack has expressed his attachment to the pet.

The second incident that occurred in June 2024 led to a suspended sentence for Jack in 2025.
Meanwhile, Jack’s relationship with his family hasn’t been the same since he returned home.
Jack added: “One thing they told me in rehab and it’s true, you’re not gonna walk out of rehab to a red carpet rolled out for you because it’s stuff you should have been doing anyway.”
He also thanked the staff from his rehab, saying “that level of kindness I wasn’t used to for a while, I found it quite alien.”
Jack remains optimistic and hopes to get back into TV, saying: “I’m gonna do my acting and get back into TV work, I’m gonna do all the things I said I was gonna do.”
Jack previously did a stint in rehab back in 2021, but relapsed before Christmas last year.
He spoke of the spiral back in January, he explained: “Since then I have done drugs, I have done laughing gas.
“I have been so drunk that I’ve kissed a woman over Christmas and don’t even remember doing it. I’m embarrassed, mortified. I feel like an idiot.
“I am a 33-year-old man. I should be settled down, married. Instead I need help.”
Jack first shot to fame on Love Island, where he won over the nation with his charm and went on to win the series.

Olivia Attwood has revealed she cried so much she ‘nearly passed out’ in the aftermath of her split with Bradley DackCredit: TikTokThe pair called time on their romance in January with Olivia claiming a ‘breach of trust’ on his partCredit: InstagramThe 31-year-old has now bravely revealed her raw emotional state in a new podcastCredit: TikTok
Olivia told the podcast: “I can only see what I’ve had because people just like to give women a hard time.
“Someone wrote me on my TikTok yesterday when I was with the girls in New York having fun, and she’s like ‘I really hope someone screws you over so badly, like you’re such a cold calculated b***h.’
“I thought, it’s because I’m open and I talk about all kinds of things, but I’m not going to video myself crying and put it on the internet.
“I’m just f*****g not”.
She poured out her heart further and said: “It doesn’t mean I don’t cry. I have cried, I’ve cried so hard during this breakup to the point where I f*****g think I’m going to pass out, and then I will slap myself in the face and go to work.
“I don’t need to be crying on the internet, I don’t think that people, professionally, are going to respect me and book me to host their TV shows when I’m videoing myself lying on the floor crying”.
She told the podcast it would be easier if she ‘hated’ her footballer exCredit: instagram.com/olivia_attwoodThe pair were at the centre of fakery rumours after it was revealed they had not made their marriage officialCredit: instagram/oliviameetshermatch
Olivia then told how it had been her most painful break up yet and continued: “I think that when you know you tried, we both tried so many things to make it work, so of course it’s just so sad. It’s sad.
“Also, this is why I’ve not rushed to say anything because it’s like, I can still acknowledge the fact that I like him and I love him as a person, those things can still be true while knowing that it’s run its course.
“I think it would be easier if I hated him, which I don’t”.
Confirming this was the case, Olivia, who wed Bradley in 2023, finally broke her silence on the situation this week in a statement shared to Instagram Stories.
She wrote: “I have stood by Brad for the last ten years during which he lied & cheated on me multiple times.
“The breakdown of our relationship is because of this.
“I was in love with him and the potential I saw in him and wanted always to help him try to be the best version of himself – as I did for 10 years.
“Covering up. Lying to my family and friends. Arranging therapy. Believing the grovelling apologies.
“I of course now feel like a f***ing idiot (Especially as more things come to the surface).
“I never wanted to say any of this. I find the whole situation utterly humiliating.
“But some of the disgusting things written about me in the last few weeks just blow my mind – and of course sadly it’s always fellow females doing the writing.”
Olivia added that she decided to leave her marriage after being told he was unfaithful again in January.

LAURA Anderson left fans stunned as she shared sizzling snaps from a luxury getaway — and appeared to have a dig at her footballer ex-boyfriend.
The former Love Island star donned her teeniest shorts as she posed for selfies at a posh hotel.

Laura treated herself to a stay at Scotland’s five-star Gleneagles and made sure to show it off.
Smiling and laughing, she oozed confidence in a chic white blazer paired with barely-there satin shorts.
Laura shared the snaps with the caption: “@thegleneagleshotel is always a good idea.”
And it’s safe to say the post appears to send a “look what you’re missing” message after her split from Dundee footballer Clark Robertson just weeks ago.
Laura previously visited Gleneagles with her ex ClarkCredit: lauraanderson1x/InstagramLaura and Clark have split after over a year togetherCredit: lauraanderson1x/Instagram
The ITV star took to her Instagram Stories to reshare a post that read: “Why do people cheat on queens for clowns?
“Because a palace has rules but the circus is free for all.”
A source said: “Laura and Clark have called time on their relationship.
“It was a difficult decision. They both have a lot of love for each other but realised it wasn’t working.”
The split may not come as a huge surprise as Laura and Clark, 32, had become increasingly absent from each other’s lives.
The pair had been quiet about their relationship, failing to share snaps of each other in recent months.
Laura’s last post with the Dundee player came on February 21 following a spa break.
She previously opened up about the “tricky and emotional” ups and downs of planning Christmas with a blended family.
Laura shares daughter Bonnie with ex-partner Gary, while Clark has two children from a previous relationship.
She told The Sun in December: “I mean, obviously, Clark’s got two kids and then I’m not with Bonnie’s dad and different things like that. So it can be an emotional, tricky time.
“I think blended families sort of bring hardship.”
The two began dating in 2024 after she finally responded to a DM he sent her three years earlier.
Laura shot to fame on the fourth series of Love Island in 2018, where she finished runner-up alongside Paul Knops.
The pair dated for just two months after the show before calling time on their relationship.

Molly-Mae Hague fans are convinced they have worked out what the star is set to call her second child after spotting two cluesThe Maebe owner and influencer is set to welcome the little one with boxer Tommy Fury in the coming monthsCredit: Instagram
In her most recent YouTube video, Molly-Mae assured that the name of their second child wouldn’t be anything common, and said that like first child Bambi’s, the moniker will be controversial.
Taking to TikTok, one user said: “I think she’s having a boy and calling him Thunder as Bambi says on the Mother’s Day vlog ‘look there’s Thunder’ on the card she made for Molly.”
She said: “I think we’re pretty much set on a name now, which is crazy. Also just can’t wait for everyone to hate it, obviously it’s a different name — we were never gonna call our baby just an ordinary name, that was never going to happen.
“I’ve only ever heard of one other baby being called this name.”
She added “Can’t wait for everyone to literally probably dislike it and be like ‘da f***?’, but yeah, it was never gonna be an ordinary name guys lets be honest.”
Molly-Mae is currently in her third trimester as she prepares to welcome her little one in the coming months.
She and Tommy have found out the gender of their second child, but are choosing not to share it publicly until the little one is born.
The couple have been together since meeting on Love Island in 2019 and got engaged in 2023.
However, they briefly split the following year, which was later revealed was due to Tommy’s unhealthy relationship with alcohol.
The couple reunited at the beginning of 2025 and have seemingly been going strong ever since, moving into their newly-renovated family home together.

Earlier this year,the influencer, 26, announced that she andTommy Furyare expecting their second child together.
She has now opened up about Tommy’s controversial fight date and what she really thinks about it.
Tommy will return to the boxing ring on June 13 in Manchester in a fight against former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall.
Molly’s baby is due around the same time as Tommy’s fight, with her now opening up about it all candidly in a Q&A video on YouTube.
“A lot of questions about how do you feel about Tommy’s fight and obviously the date of it,” she said in her vlog.
“Obviously I knew that you guys were going to like be concerned about that and have questions about that, but fear not.
:Fear not fair maiden because we’re actually feeling really, really good about it and have a really good plan in place.”
She went on: “There’s actually like a good amount of time between my birth, my supposed birth because basically I’m having the baby in London again.
“So I gave birth with Bambi at The Portland.
“I’m not worried and I’m actually really, really happy that he’s got a fight because it’s been over a year since his last fight.”
She trailed off and spoke about how “difficult” it is to get a fight date secured, adding: “So just having a date for something and and having a focus and us having like I don’t know something to look forward to in the fight like it’s just I think it’s actually a really, really, really positive thing and he will be here when I get home.
“He will be able to support me.”
She then spoke about the horrendous situation after she had given birth last time, saying: “It’s not going to be anything like the the last time.
“I mean that was a very, very bespoke and ridiculous situation to have one of like the most high pressure fights.
“Like there was so much pressure on him for the Jake Paul fight.
“It was just mental and obviously it was our first baby. I just given birth and he was literally going to Saudi and it was it was really hard.
“But this time round it’s not going to be anything like that.
“He will be at home. He will be living at home. He will be having his camp at home. We’re actually feeling really, really good about it.
“So, no concerns over here. We’re in a really, really great place. Everything feels, almost just feel like a little bit too good to be true.”
Molly also explained how she has no birth plan other than to hopefully have an epidural.
She also explained how she hopes not to have a C-section.

Comedian Hasan Al-Habib made a heartbreaking admission about being ashamed of his religion

Award-winning stand-up comedian Hasan Al-Habib has made a heart-wrenching confession about once feeling embarrassed by his religion during his younger years.
Hasan is one of seven celebrities embarking on Pilgrimage: The Road to Holy Island, which returns for its eighth series.
However, in one segment, Hasan candidly discussed his experience growing up as a Muslim and how he once felt shame about his heritage.
He shared, “I was aware of faith from a pretty early age. I was lucky that I was definitely aware of my religion before I was aware that people don’t like it necessarily, or there are some people that are prejudiced against it,” reports the Express.
“I was growing up post 911 during the Iraq War, and that’s why, for a long time, I was kind of ashamed of being Iraqi because I didn’t like being associated with this war.
“I didn’t like being seen as the face of this conflict, so I tried to be as white British as I possibly could, and I realised that if you were funny, people liked you, and that was an invaluable currency for me at the time, because people didn’t like me.”
He continued, “Being Iraqi now, career-wise, it has been a really good thing. It’s definitely something I lean into now, maybe even too much for someone who doesn’t speak Arabic fluently and has only been to Iraq once in their life.”
Discussing his aspirations for featuring on the programme, the comedian added, “I’m really looking forward to the big questions and the searching questions that come as a part of doing this process. If you’re a rational human being, you’ve got to wonder, what happens at the end of all this, or where did we come from?”
He reflected: “People spend their whole lives answering those questions. So to have this opportunity to do it with other people, I think is really, I’m gonna say it’s a blessing.”
Hasan also accompanied Ashley and Tasha to a mosque, which proved to be a touching yet emotional experience for the duo. Tasha confessed to feeling quite moved, revealing to her co-star Hermione Norris that it was a revelation for her.
She said, “I am never going to forget it, and I felt quite emotional just seeing them two just really embracing their religion and just doing their prayer, but it was when they were doing it together, and that’s what made me go like, ‘Wow’.”
She added: “It was just powerful, and it made me realise we need to be more open-minded about religion and just not judge what people believe in, just because they believe in something different from what we may believe in.”
At another moment, Tasha became tearful as she remembered experiencing online abuse when she featured on Love Island. As she attempted to hold back tears, Tasha stated, “I suffered with ableism while I was on a reality TV show. People use your disability as their point to hate somebody. When people go on TikTok, making videos, literally taking the mick at how I spoke, it still gets to me now.”
She remarked through tears, “I don’t like crying,” before continuing, “It’s literally three years ago, but it still gets to me. I think it’s because I saw the impact it had on my family, my dad and mum had to see so many horrible comments about my disability, my and that’s why now I have a stronger shield within me, really.”
Pilgrimage: The Road to Holy Island is available to stream on BBCiPlayer.
It is just one of the many upcoming projects the reality star has in the works
Kim Kardashian is working on the ‘new Dance Moms’(Image: Stephane Cardinale – Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images)
The makers behind hit dating show Love Island have teamed up with Kim Kardashian for their next reality series project which aims to be the ‘next Dance Moms’.
Having received a green light, the new show is expected to be streaming on Paramount Plus at some point later this year. Reality star Kim Kardashian will serve as executive producer for the new show
The title is a joint production between companies ITV America, which also produces Love Island USA, along with Kim Kardashian Productions and Paramount Sports Entertainment. Executive producers for ITV America are Mioshi Hill, Jordana Hochman, Jeremiah Smith and Tom Ciaccio. Natalie Ento also serves as an executive producer.
Named Team Moms, the series will launch viewers into the world of nationally competition youth baseball in the US. To do this, they will be granted exclusive access to the Legendary Prep Academy in Scottsdale.
Viewers will be immersed in what is Arizona’s first and only baseball prep school. The series follows the coaches, founders and a group of dynamic families.
Their respective teen sons who comprise the starting line-up for one of the most competitive youth baseball programs in the world. It is a feeder to Division 1 college scholarships, NIL deals and ultimately, fame and fortune in the MLB.
Willing to do whatever it takes for their children to excel at America’s favourite pastime, the intensity of the program is only paralleled by the fervour of its athlete’s parents, who will stop at nothing to ensure their kids make it to the big leagues.
It’s clear from the premise that the show hopes to be recreate the magic of Dance Moms which created such stars like Maddie Ziegler and JoJo Siwa.
This isn’t the only television project being produced by All’s Fair star Kim Kardashian. According to her IMDB page, she is also set to produce and star in the series Group Chat.
That is an upcoming drama about five glamorous LA women in their 40s who appear to live flawless lives, but their private group chat reveals the raw, messy reality beneath their polished facades..
She will also star in the series as well as Netflix comedy film The Fifth Wheel. She also has a Kardashians spin-off in the works called Calabasas Behind the Gates, which will focus on the exclusive, gated lives of the extended Kardashian-Jenner circle, including friends and neighbours.
Paramount hope that Team Moms will become another hit in its list of ongoing reality shows which also include Survivor, Big Brother, The Challenge and Making Love.

The former Love Islander looked fresh-faced in the pics, showcasing a glowing complexion and a plump smile – as a result of having new lip fillers.
“I had some lip filler for the first time in 2 years and I can’t stop pouting,” she wrote alongside the snaps.
Olivia has faced a tricky couple of months, revealing the end of her marriage to footballer husband Bradley Dack.
As well as the scandal surrounding her ex’s fidelity, Olivia, 34, saw her marriage exposed as a sham and swirling rumours that she is now dating long-time pal Pete Wicks.
Yet her carousel of photos showed fans that she’s still thriving, not letting the whisperings get her down.
The star was indeed seen pouting across the array of images as she stepped out in different outfits attending various events.
In some, she was seen sporting a bottle green fur jacket over checked black slacks.
Others saw her in a limo and at a party with pals, donning a plain black sweater and skinny stonewash jeans.
She snapped further images in a chocolate mini-skirt and matching blazer, a tie around her neck, blonde mane swept back in a tight, conservative ponytail.
Other images showed pet dogs, shopping trips, a pair of new high heels and behind-the-scenes snaps on set.
In a final image, Olivia was filmed stood in a lift, pouting again for the camera, showcasing her style in a black leather cropped jacket, matching shorts and knee-high boots.
Fans were pleased to see Olivia enjoying herself amid the various scandals circling her in recent times.
“Dump the boy get the filler… the only way is up baby girl,” one commented under the snaps.
Another penned: “Love to see you smiling and laughing!”
The post also appeared to confirm that Olivia has custody of the dogs she shared with Bradley, with many fans picking up on this in the comments.
“Great substitute for a man, dogs are life savers and your girls are beautiful,” one penned.
Another wrote: “My main concern has been he better not take the dogs from Liv!”
Olivia admitted this week that she is finally feeling good about herself again amid the drama, and that she’s dating again, after being seen kissing Pete Wicks.
Opening up about the recent scandals, the ITV star admitted she “covered up” much of what was going on in her marriage and even arranged therapy for her footballer ex.
In a statement posted on Instagram, Olivia said: “I have stood by Brad for the last ten years during which he lied & cheated on me multiple times. The breakdown of our relationship is because of this.
“I of course now feel like a f***ing idiot (Especially as more things come to the surface).”
This was the first time she had publicly addressed why her marriage was over, but has also suffered backlash amid a fakery row involving her TV wedding.
The Sun revealed ITV‘s “golden girl” Olivia was never legally married, yet she has insisted that she is “not pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes”.
Meanwhile, a pal of Pete and Olivia recently confirmed: “They have been spending a lot of time together and an unexpected romance has blossomed from friendship.”

After weighing their cases, the couple grabbed breakfast in the airport before boarding.
Lucinda tucked into eggs Benedict while Sean appeared slightly flustered, keeping an eye on the time.
Things quickly turned chaotic as the pair were seen sprinting through the terminal in a last-minute dash for their flight.
Lucinda admitted she had no idea where they were staying, teasing fans that the hotel was a surprise.
The couple were then seen arriving at luxury accommodation before heading out to enjoy a romantic lunch.

ITV star Olivia, 34, separated from Bradley Dack in January.
Olivia and Pete have seen their friendship “blossom into an unexpected romance”, pals said last night.
The pair had insisted they were just friends but their public kiss in front of cheering pals proved they are a couple.
Loose Women favourite Olivia, 34, screamed, punched the air and beamed in delight afterwards.
An onlooker snapped their snog at rooftop bar Flute in London’s Soho, where they partied for 3½ hours on Friday night.
The venue is where Towie star Pete, 37, was spotted kissing Love Island’s Maura Higgins in 2024.
Last night a pal of Pete and Olivia confirmed: “They have been spending a lot of time together and an unexpected romance has blossomed from friendship.”
“They have got closer and Pete has held a torch for Olivia for a really long time.
“She is hurting and vulnerable, and he was in the right place at the right time.”

The friend added: “They get on really well and are taking it slow, there is no label at the moment.”
Since her marriage separation, speculation has mounted that Olivia has moved on with lothario Pete.
The pair have known each other for around nine years and both starred in Towie in 2019.
Last August they partied with friends on a yacht off Ibiza.
“She was beaming in delight and couldn’t have looked happier.
“And at one point she rose in front of her friends, took Pete by the hand, and they kissed passionately as a group of ten to twelve people cheered them on.
“Olivia and Pete didn’t seem to mind who saw them.
“The noise and spectacle they were making caused everyone in the room to stop what they were doing and look.”
Olivia looked stunning in a black top and skinny jeans, with Pete in a smart jacket.
She stopped and chatted to other revellers in the dimly-lit, discreet venue, even asking other drinkers if they felt she looked OK.
A source said: “She was very sweet and so obviously madly in love with Pete.
“She was anxious that she looked good for her man. They had a blissful night.
Olivia only announced her marriage split in JanuaryCredit: SplashPete has bedded a host of TV personalitiesCredit: Splash
“Friends came and went from their table and when they were alone they were very intense, whispering and pausing conversation to kiss.
“And they were just as tactile when in a bigger group.
“Whatever hardships she has been through, it was very clear that Olivia was ecstatically happy with him next to her at their table.”
Our snaps of the loved-up pair are a hammer blow to her estranged hubby Bradley, who plays for League Two Gillingham.
We told how he blocked Pete on Instagram weeks after the marriage split was revealed.
She was on the ITV table while he was with Kiss FM.
That night Olivia told The Sun on Sunday: “If you are going to be single anywhere this’d be the place. Is Harry Styles single?”
She and Pete later left an after-party together and took a taxi to the Edwardian Manchester hotel.
At 3am Pete was seen carrying two pizza boxes through the lobby before getting into a lift.
Hours later the couple emerged together, with both wearing baseball caps, and were driven off at around 12.30pm.
Speaking ahead of the ceremony Pete told their podcast: “What always happens at these events is Liv and I gravitate towards each other and basically just stick together, don’t we?”

Olivia replied: “Because I feel like we both have the same objective. And talk to as few people . . .” Pete then added: “As possible.”
Pete then said: “Although we are not going big this year, are we?”, to which Olivia countered: “What do you mean?” Pete continued: “You have a flight the next day.”
Olivia replied: “I know, you need to keep me lucid enough that I don’t get stopped at immigration.”
Pete said: “The danger being that I jump on the flight with you in what I am wearing from the Brits.”
The Sun on Sunday revealed in January that Olivia had split from Dack – following what sources said was a “breach of trust” on his part.
In 2017, she went on Love Island, later saying it was revenge on Dack for cheating on her at the time.
They reunited, and she joined Towie in 2019, on which Pete was already a regular. He went on to dance on Strictly in 2024.

Rykard Jenkins, another Love Islander, didn’t leave any words but chose to pay tribute in the form of a while love heart emoji and a symbol of hands in prayer.
Model Georgia Mercer wrote: “RIP Jord. You had the most infectious energy. Thank you for the laughs,” whilst influencer Scarlett Ellis saidL: “Such a lovely person gone too soon. Rest peacefully Jordan”
Tragic Jordan was discovered lying face down in the canal in a grey shirt and black trousers without any shoes on.

NO ONE could ever have imagined that little Maura Higgins from a sleepy Irish town would go on to be one of the country’s most famous exports.
Not least her sisters – Becki and Louise – who have sat watching her meteoric rise to fame from the peripheries. There are few relationships closer than that of siblings, but what happens when celebrity gets in the way? Here, we take a look at their now very complicated dynamic – and reveal why Maura’s decision to miss Louise’s wedding had a lasting impact and how imitation isn’t always the highest form of flattery when it comes to Becki.

When Maura, now 35, chose to apply for Love Island, she already knew her older sister Louise was getting married that summer.
Astonishingly, fitness instructor Louise, 38, gave her blessing for her to miss her big day – but whisperings at the time suggested not everyone in the family agreed with the move.
She made it very clear what her intentions were when she chose fame over Louise’s wedding.
It was certainly risky, but it paid off massively. From the very first moment Maura appeared on screen in 2019 on Love Island, her family – which also includes her brother, who has never been named publicly – realised life would never be the same again.
An insider explained: “Maura was from a very tight-knit family and grew up in a place where everyone knew everyone. When she became well known, of course, things changed.
“At times, she’s not always been able to support her sisters as much as she would like. She made it very clear what her intentions were when she chose fame over Louise’s wedding.
“Louise has spent years just trying to get on with her life, while Becki has been hanging off her coattails, desperate for even some semblance of her success.
“Like all sisters, there is a level of competitiveness and jealousy that just doesn’t exist in other relationships. It’s fair to say it’s very complicated.”
Today, Maura is a huge star both in the UK and in America – rubbing shoulders with A-listers and really putting her home town of Longford on the map in a way no one could ever have dreamed of.
But it has meant Maura has missed out on a series of huge life events – most notably her sister’s wedding.
When Louise walked down the aisle with long term fiance Mark Kelly at a private ceremony at Abbeyshrule Church, outside Ballymahon, Maura was busy cementing herself in the Love Island hall of fame.
Even Maura’s ex-boyfriend, James Finnegan, attended the big day, having grown very close to the family.
A source told us at the time: “Louise got engaged in 2016, and the wedding was planned over a year ago. So Maura would have known that when she applied for Love Island.
“But Maura and Louise are very close, and her sister fully supports her decision to go on Love Island.
“In fact, she’s happy for Maura and is delighted she’s been given an amazing opportunity to find love and further her career.”
Louise made the decision to distance herself from the limelight as much as possible at that time.
Mimicking Maura
But Becki, Maura’s younger sister, who is now 31, grabbed the chance of fame with both hands.
She chatted about Maura whenever she got the chance and even appeared on Virgin Media One’s Ireland AM for a fashion segment.
Maura was delighted, gushing that she was “so proud”.

She started joining Maura on nights out and built up her own social media presence.
Becki, however, has never quite managed to break into the limelight fully – despite her best efforts. She regularly posts images of herself glammed up for a night out and clearly shares Maura’s same cheeky sense of humour, judging by some of her more risky posts.
She has just 3.5k followers but has still managed to land herself a few paid ads here and there.
‘Scared and alone’
As Maura’s fame grew, her schedule became busier and busier – she moved to London and her once close relationship with her sisters felt the strain.
Maura has said she felt “scared” and “very alone” during that period of her life.
It wasn’t long until Becki and Louise stopped posting publicly about their sister – they couldn’t keep up with her endless achievements.
Maura tried to get back to see Louise’s children as much as possible and is particularly close to her niece Isabelle. While she may not always be around, she made sure she was there for Isabelle’s first Holy Communion in 2024, calling her a “best friend for life”.
When she found out her nephew, believed to be her brother’s son, was being bullied in 2022, she showed up at his school to pick him up – no doubt scaring the bullies off for good.
Maura was very close to her siblings while growing up, and their bond became even tighter when her parents, Sharon and Seamus, split up.
The break-up was a defining moment in all their lives.
Maura candidly said: “It was a very nasty break-up and a lot went on, like, things I would never want to talk about because I wouldn’t want to be saying things about my mum or dad.”

She added: “When the break-up happened, my mum was trying to keep a roof over four kids and herself, and we were all in school, it was very, very hard and I remember seeing my mum struggle a lot.”
Maura continued: “She had a nervous breakdown, she collapsed in the kitchen in front of all of us and only my older sister, she was a lot older at the time, she knew how to like put her on her side and call the ambulance.
“I don’t know why I remember this, but I remember, mammy has a rare blood type and my older sister knew to say that to the paramedics.”
Cutting contact
After appearing on Love Island, Maura ended up cutting all contact with her dad, which is said to have left him blindsided.
She explained: “My dad spoke to me not very nice. I’m not saying it was just a bit of an argument. It was horrendous where I physically couldn’t breathe after the phone call.
“I thought to myself, ‘I wouldn’t let a partner talk to me like that. I wouldn’t let a friend talk to me like that. I’m not going to let my dad talk to me like that’.
“But also, I think if I dig deep, I don’t think I’ve ever forgiven my dad for not being there for me when my best friend passed away. And he wasn’t there for me.”
The sisters were bonded by the horror. Tragically, Becki suffered more heartache when another close friend passed away at the start of the year.
As she laid him to rest on January 23rd, Maura was in New York filming The Drew Barrymore Show.
It was a real sign of just how far apart their lives had become. Maura’s future is no doubt going to be bright – but what part, if any, her sisters will play isn’t as clear.

Former Love Island star Olivia is across the pond to celebrate the launch of her collaboration with high street brand River Island.
Dressed in a satin mini skirt with a lace trim and knee-high boots, Olivia looked stunning for the night out.
She posed for a slew of snaps before hitting the town.
Olivia and the group were then filmed throughout the night as they hit the city’s clubs and let loose.
Sipping on cocktails and wine, the video showed the group as they danced together and even cheekily lifted up their tops and skirts – covering themselves with emojis.
Confirming that the girls had quite the time, Toni commented on the post: “downhill for sure”.
“A time was had,” said Sophie Piper.
The hangover seemed to hit hard too, as Olivia joked this morning that she was “hanging on by a thread”.
Olivia is yet to divulge exactly what went on between them.
However, she did say that she would speak about her marriage breakdown when the time is right – insisting she had a “lot to process”.
The couple wed in 2023, four years after getting engaged.
