If there’s one hairstyle that looks set to dominate this autumn, it’s the choppy bob. Celebrities like Louise Redknapp and Ferne McCann are just some of the famous faces who have all lopped inches off their lengths recently – and the latest to go for the chop is Hollywood actress Kirsten Dunst.

The Fargo star, 40, has stepped out at Milan Fashion Week sporting a short blunt bob hairstyle that’s considerably shorter than the chest-length locks we’re used to seeing her with. Styled into subtle waves and paired with a simple black polo neck jumper and on-trend wide-leg jeans, Kirsten’s new hairdo suited her “Parisian chic” look perfectly.

While actors are used to changing their looks regularly, Kirsten has rarely stepped away from wearing her blonde locks shoulder-length or longer, usually styled into loose, beachy waves (apart from when she sported a red hue to play Mary Jane Watson in the Spider-Man films).

Celebrity hairstylist Marcus Francis, the man behind Kirsten’s new hairstyle, has also agreed that this was quite a dramatic change for the actress.

Speaking to Byrdie, Marcus said, “Kirsten’s length was below the collarbone – [what] we both said was a ‘safe length’.

“We cut about six inches off, a length she hadn’t had since 2005.”

We’re used to seeing Kirsten with a longer hairstyle (pictured here with husband Jesse Plemons in March this year)

Marcus posted a close-up look at the haircut on Instagram, and people were quick to compliment Kirsten’s new look underneath the post.

“Love the new haircut,” commented makeup artist Hung Vanngo, who counts the likes of Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez as clients.”

“Oh wow I love this chop,” another replied on the post.

Kirsten’s not the only A-lister to brave a shorter style this month. Kourtney Kardashian recently took her long bob, or “lob”, even shorter – but the reality star doesn’t seem quite sold on her new above-the-chin chop yet.

“Whoah this hair is so much shorter than it felt last night,” she captioned an Instagram Story video where she runs her hands through her freshly-styled tresses.

We don’t think Kourtney has anything to worry about – we’re loving this cool new haircut, and can’t wait to see who’ll go for the chop next.

Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan have finally moved into their incredible Essex mansion after months of renovations, with the pair sharing plenty of glimpses of the property.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 35, and ex-Coronation Street actress Michelle, also 35, have been watching their £3.5m property being built for over a year, and have documented the entire process on their joint Instagram account, @wrightyhome.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2015, look to have now officially moved into their incredible abode, after Michelle recently returned from Australia, where she had been filming a new Bioreports drama over recent months.

Mark and Michelle have unveiled all of the renovation details of the house, which they originally purchased for £1.3m in October 2019.

Here we take a look at the stunning home of the couple, from white marble flooring and gold detailing to an incredibly stylish bedroom…

Five star bathroom Taking to their home Instagram page, the pair shared a transformation video of their bathroom and it’s fair to say the room is five star and comparable to a luxury hotel.

In the video Mark can be seen snapping his fingers for a before and after view of the room.

The new bathroom is simply stunning

Certainly a dream, the bathroom has marble walls and flooring, a classic white bath and a spacious shower room.

In addition to this, the room also contains a sauna, steam rooms and his and her sinks.

The mirrors feature ridged lamp holders on either side, with under-panel LED lighting put underneath the cabinets beneath the his and hers sinks.

Cosy bedroom Mark looked pleased as he showed off the new mattress he and Michelle have purchased for their bedroom in the clip, which he shared alongside the caption: “Mattresses in!! Not gonna lie, quite impressed with our bed making skills”.

The stunning room boasts neutral decor with cream walls and white carpet, and a huge bed sits in the centre of the space covered with white blankets and scatter cushions.

Private home bar Mark looked over-the-moon to be behind his very own bar and donned a black long sleeved top and gilet for the day on the building site.

Mark thanked Dutch brewing company Heineken ‘for sorting the boys out’ as he told his 1.8million followers: “First pint ever to be poured in the bar. But first, before I do that, I just looked up and all of the builders normally finish at 3.30pm. It is 3.36pm… turn the camera around…

Mark Wright was seen pulling a pint in his new home bar

A group of builders could be seen eagerly awaiting their pint while Mark Wright Snr could be seen with a drink in his hand as he with the workmen.

Mark carefully poured the pint before raising the glass and proclaiming: “Happy f*****g birthday.”

State of the art spa In addition to the numerous bedrooms in their home, Mark and Michelle’s abode is also said to have three dressing rooms, a state-of-the-art gym an outdoor pool and even a pool house.

The only thing missing from that was a spa, and they wasted no time including one in their renovations.

The couple’s home gym is the perfect place to exercise

It’s not just any spa the A-list couple will have and when they decided on a mosaic style one from The Mosaic Spa Company, Mark re-shared a post to his social account and wrote: “Wow what a day!!!! Cannot wait for this, a dream come true, our own spa.”

The home also comes with a few techy additions such as solar panels and heightened security to make sure the house is economical to run, good for the environment and perhaps most importantly, safe and secure.

The latest series of Married At First Sight UK has been explosive to say the least, with many couples struggling to make their marriages work.

Looking for love, especially on TV, is no easy task, but there’s a number of MAFS stars who already have some experience as they’ve appeared on other dating shows.

Some contestants from the current series and last year’s edition of the E4 show have previously tried their luck on TV programmes including Take Me Out before signing up to marry a total stranger.

As MAFS UK continues to grip viewers, here we take a look at some of the contestants who are no strangers to reality TV…

April Banbury April had already appeared on two reality TV shows before she tied the knot with George Roberts on MAFS.

She took part in ITV’s The Cabins in 2021, which sees two strangers placed together in a log cabin for an extended period of time to see if they connect on a romantic level.

April didn’t find long-lasting love on the show, but it wasn’t the first time she’d tried her luck on a dating show.

In 2011, she appeared in Channel 5’s The Bachelor, where she was one of 25 contestants hoping to win the heart of rugby player Gavin Henson. April came in third place on the show but ultimately went home single.

Matt Murray Matt has found himself at the centre of the drama on this year’s series of MAFS, with the barber clashing with his wife Gemma and recently deciding to pursue a romance with fellow contestant Whitney.

Before he appeared on MAFS, Matt was briefly seen on Channel 4’s Naked Attraction and while he’s never mentioned it, an eagle-eyed viewer spotted him on the show.

However, it turned out that Matt didn’t get his kit off on Naked Attraction as he wasn’t a contestant, but one of his friends was.

Jess Potter She was paired with stripper Pjay Finch on MAFS and the pair’s marriage was rather turbulent, but Jess had previously appeared on a Netflix show during her quest for love.

She took part in Sexy Beasts, where she wore a hilarious green zombie mask. Jess formed a connection with Sullie, who hails from New York, but the pair’s romance didn’t last the test of time.

Morag Crichton Morag Crichton tied the knot with Luke Dawson on MAFS last year, but her search for love on TV dates back to 2018.

The blonde beauty previously appeared on ITV’s Take Me Out but she spent seven weeks on the show as she failed to find a connection with anyone.

Morag later admitted that she fancied TV host Paddy McGuinness, who presents Take Me Out, more than any of the singletons she met.

Nikita Jasmine MAFS was Nikita Jasmine’s first reality TV stint but it looks like she enjoyed it, as she headed straight to Celebs Go Dating after he marriage to Ant Poole fizzled out.

Nikita, who appeared on MAFS in 2021, had an awkward experience on the Channel 4 show as she went on a date with a pal’s ex-boyfriend.

After discovering his dating history, she quickly called things off to avoid anymore awkwardness.

Richie Dews Richie’s time on MAFS was short-lived after he and Lara Eyre opted to leave the process early on in the series.

Despite exiting the show earlier Richie made quite an impression, and it turns out that he once appeared on ITV’s Take Me Out back in 2010.

He wowed the girls with a guitar serenade on the show and went on to land a date with 26 year old Tasha Tyers.

Molly-Mae Hague shocked fans recently when she announced she’s expecting her first child with boyfriend Tommy Fury.

The PrettyLittleThing creative director, 23, and her boxer beau, also 23, took to Instagram to share their happy news with their followers and posted an adorable video of Molly showcasing her blossoming baby bump for the first time.

The couple, who met on Love Island in 2019, have kept Molly’s pregnancy a secret for several months, with the mum-to-be strategically hiding her bump in photographs and their loved ones remaining tight-lipped.

The mum-to-be has now shared a handful of details about her journey so far, and has shared hints about her baby’s gender and potential names. Let’s take a look…

Announcement On 25 September, Molly and Tommy shared a joint Instagram post announcing that they’re expecting their first child together.

The adorable black-and-white video begins with a snippet of Molly’s heartwarming speech at the Love Island 2019 finale before switching to a clip of her and Tommy at a recent photoshoot, where the boxer can be seen planting a kiss on her baby bump.

Quoting her 2019 speech, Molly captioned the post: “I can’t wait for the adventures that we haven’t even dreamed of yet”, followed by an angel emoji.

The post racked up over two million in likes in one day with thousands of people leaving comments and wishing the couple well.

Due date After their announcement, fans started to guess how far gone Molly is and began trying to work out her due date.

The mum-to-be’s BFF and fellow Islander Maura Higgins, 31, shared a clip from a baby scan she attended with Molly on 21 July, which shows that the 23 year old was in her second trimester at the time of the ultrasound appointment.

Tommy also dropped a hint recently when a fan asked during an Instagram Q&A: “When is Molly getting that ring… I think it’s time.” The dad-to-be responded: “It was probably time about six months ago but it’s coming very soon.”

With fans eager to know more, Molly has now shared a hint about her due date as she revealed that she’s already over five months pregnant.

She took part in a brief Q&A with her fans and one person asked: “Was it hard to ‘hide’ it? xxx”.

To which Molly replied, saying: “Strangely… no. It wasn’t. I set myself a goal to get to five months without people knowing and I really didn’t think I would get that far… but we actually went past that point!

“It was so special having it as mine and Tommy’s secret – I also have some amazing secret keeping friends / family too.”

Gender reveal Molly and Tommy are yet to announce if they’re having a boy or girl, but the influencer has revealed that they do know the gender of the baby.

After their initial social media announcement, Molly uploaded a two-minute video to YouTube which details her and Tommy’s journey as parents-to-be so far, including the moment she broke the news to him and their first scan.

Towards the end of the video, Molly can be seen standing next to a huge white balloon with ‘Boy or Girl?’ printed across it. As she goes to pop the balloon, the video cuts to her and Tommy celebrated while surrounded by confetti.

The clip is in black-and-white, so fans are yet to find out whether they’re having a boy or girl. However, eagle-eyed fans noticed Molly had a pink rattle in her shopping trolley recently as Tommy shared a snap of her while they were out picking up groceries, prompting many to presume they’re having a baby daughter.

Names Comments Molly and Tommy have made in the past about starting a family have resurfaced since they announced they’re set to become parents, including hints about potential names.

Molly previously revealed that she would choose something unusual as her child’s moniker, saying: “No one in my child’s class is going to have the same name as them. I already have names in mind that I know everyone is going to hate, and I just can’t wait for it.”

Tommy previously revealed that the pair already had names picked out for their unborn children but would be keeping them a secret so nobody else used them.

Mum-to-be Molly recently told how she and Tommy had chosen names for their kids right at the start of their romance, and that they’re definitely sticking with them.

“We had a boy and girl name picked out from basically the day we met,” she wrote. “We are sticking with the name we’ve had planned all along.”

Christine McGuinness recently enjoyed a sunny getaway to Greece with her close pal Chelcee Grimes.

The presenter and author, 34, jetted off to Santorini for a brief holiday with singer Chelcee, 30, who she became close pals with when they both starred on the The Games together earlier this year.

Mum-of-three Christine, who split from her husband Paddy earlier this year, shared a string of photos from her and Chelcee’s luxury break and wrote: “69 hrs in Santorini. Siestas and Sunsets is just what I needed,” with a love heart emoji.

The 34 year old added a list with the following words: “Calm, rested, happy, healthy, and blessed,” with ticks at the end of each word.

The blonde beauty showed off her incredible figure in one snap as she modelled a turquoise bikini while relaxing round by the pool.

She held her hair up as she knelt down on a sun bed, and many of her followers were quick to compliment her.

“Wow turquoise is most definitely your colour!!” one person said, as another added: “body goals and holiday goals hehe – enjoy x.”

Another photo showed Christine looking relaxed as she explored Santorini in a khaki crochet maxi dress, which she paired with oversized sunglasses and sandals.

She and Chelcee stayed at a lavish hotel which boasted an enormous infinity pool with incredible views. Chelcee shared a snap of herself happily posing in the pool, writing: “Santorini Called,” alongside a string of emojis.

The 30 year old looked incredible in a bright orange bikini and sandals, as she showcased her toned figure in one selfie, while others showed her and Christine holding their hands up to make a heart.

“Stunning stunning pictures Chelcee. xx,” one person wrote. A second added: “boss picks xxx”.

Christine’s fun-filled girls’ holiday comes after she recently announced she and her husband Paddy, 49, had called it quits after 11 years of marriage. Christine shares twins Penelope and Leo, nine, and daughter Felicity, six, with Paddy.

In July, the former couple took to their Instagram stories to share a joint statement after multiple rumours claimed that their marriage was strained.

The statement read: “We hadn’t planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but after the lack of privacy surrounding our personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify.

“A while ago we took the difficult decision to separate but our main focus as always is to continue loving and supporting our children.

“This was not an easy decision to make but we’re moving forward as the best parents we can be for our three beautiful children. We’ll always be a loving family, we still have a great relationship and still live happily in our family home together.”

New confusion over the Queen’s death certificate following her state funeral: Details

It’s been exactly three weeks since the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

MORE: When will the Queen’s cause of death be revealed?

Following her state funeral on 19 September, the royal family entered an official period of mourning, which came to an end earlier this week.

However, the NRS is now being accused of attempting to block the release of any details pertaining to her passing.

Her death annoucement being placed on the gates of Buckingham Palace

According to the Daily Mail, the government department has been accused of being secretive and stopping legitimate attempts to obtain a copy of the certificate.

Had the Queen died in England there would be no need to release an official cause of death since the Registration Act of 1836 does not apply to monarchs.

The Queen has been laid to rest with her family, including husband Philip

But as she died in Scotland under the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Scotland) Act of 1965, all deaths must be registered within seven days – and this includes the submission of a death certificate to a registrar.

As such, when Prince Philip passed away in April 2021 at the age of 99, no announcement from the Palace was made. One month later, it emerged that his cause of death had simply been recorded as “old age” by the head of the royal medical household, Sir Huw Thomas.

Prince Philip passed away in April 2021 at the age of 99

The description suggested that there was no other identifiable illness or injury that contributed to his death, including the heart condition that required surgery just weeks prior to his passing.

The Queen’s death on 8 September has been simply described as “peaceful” by the Palace.

King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla return to social media with poignant photo after the Queen’s death. Take a look here…

King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla have returned to official duties as the period of royal mourning in memory of the late Queen ends.

MORE: Queen Consort Camilla influenced Prince Edward in this unexpected way

On Tuesday, the official Twitter page for the British royal family updated their profile picture to mark the change in era. The new image shows King Charles and Queen Camilla during the 75th anniversary of VE Day at the Balmoral War Memorial in 2020.

WATCH: Queen Consort Camilla reveals how Queen reacted to wedding mishap

Buckingham Palace also released a message which read: “The period of Royal Mourning following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth has now ended.

MORE: Prince Harry and Meghan put united front with the royal family at the Queen’s funeral

“This account will continue to reflect the work of The King, The Queen Consort and other members of The Royal Family, as well as remembering the life and work of Queen Elizabeth.”

The monarchy and their households have returned to their normal duties following Queen Elizabeth II’s death on 8 September. Flags at royal residences were at half-mast until 8am on Tuesday, when they were raised back to full-mast, while the Prince and Princess of Wales will visit the nation for the first time since taking up their titles.

After the death of the Queen, the royal family only carried out official duties where appropriate, and its members dressed in black as a mark of respect when in public.

From Tuesday they are carrying out their normal official roles in full after observing the seven-day period of mourning. Prince William and Kate will spend the day travelling the length of Wales, first visiting Holyhead in Anglesey, North Wales, and then travelling to Swansea in South West Wales.

The royal couple had promised to visit at the earliest opportunity following the death of the Queen, and return hoping to begin “deepening the trust and respect” they have with the people of Wales.

— The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) September 27, 2022 The official Twitter account for the royal family released this message

Charles carried out one official engagement during royal mourning, holding a telephone audience with the Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng on Thursday, the eve of his tax-cutting mini-budget.

The Prince and Princess of Wales praised volunteers and operational staff they met at Windsor that day, for their efforts at events surrounding the Queen’s committal service.

The King travelled to Scotland soon after the Queen’s funeral last Monday and could remain at his home of Birkhall into early October, following the tradition set by the late monarch.

The Queen would normally spend around ten weeks at her Scottish home during summer, returning to London around the time the autumn session of Parliament began.

The Prince and Princess of Wales returned to their usual royal duties on Tuesday following the end of royal mourning – -

The Prince and Princess of Wales resumed their royal duties with a visit to Wales on Tuesday.

READ: Prince and Princess of Wales have fans all saying same thing about latest post

Their surprise outing comes after members of the royal family honoured the late monarch with seven days of royal mourning. During this time, official engagements were often cancelled or postponed. As of Tuesday, they will be able to carry out their normal official roles in full.

WATCH: Prince William and Kate Middleton make special trip to Windsor

William and Kate kicked off their Welsh tour in Holyhead, North Wales, visiting the local RNLI Lifeboat Station where they met with crew and volunteers.

Reminiscing about life in Anglesey, William said: “It’s good to be back, it really is. It feels like going back in time, seeing where we all started to be a family unit.”

The Princess of Wales donned a vibrant red coat

Princess Kate looked lovely in a stylish crimson coat adorned with gold buttons. She teamed her vibrant number with a chic all-black ensemble featuring belted wide-leg trousers, a lightweight knitted jumper and a pair of pointed heels. 

Kate received a posy of flowers

The mum-of-three accessorised with gold ovate hoops, a nude manicure and a small black handbag. Prince William, meanwhile, looked dapper in his navy suit, knitted tie and brown suede shoes. 

The royal looked radiant

In one sweet moment, Princess Kate met four-year-old Theo Crompton who presented the royal with a sweet bouquet of pink roses. 

His mother, Rebecca Crompton, 35, said: “We were actually on the way to school when I changed my mind and decided to bring him down here for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

The royal couple waved to members of the public

The duo subsequently paid a visit to Holyhead Marine and Café Bar where they met people from local business and organisations, including the coastguard and sea cadets.

The mum-of-three paused for a fan selfie

Later, Prince William and Princess Kate travelled to Swansea in Southwest Wales. They visited St Thomas Church which has been transformed into an inspiring community hub offering vital services to hundreds of people.

Prince William spoke to locals outside St Thomas Church

In addition to this, William and Kate got the chance to meet volunteers who work in the church’s food bank and the Swansea Baby Basics initiative, which distributes essential items such as toiletries and clothing to vulnerable mothers.

The Prince and Princess of Wales attended the late monarch’s state funeral

The royal couple’s visit to Wales comes after they received their new titles following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The decision was made by King Charles III, who at the time said: “Today, I am proud to create [William] Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty.”

William and Kate have spoken of wanting to use their position to advocate for the people of Wales and showcase the country to the world.

In a statement, they said they would “do their part to support the aspirations of the Welsh people and to shine a spotlight on both the challenges and opportunities in front of them”.

William and Kate have a deep affection for Wales

The duo moreover said they would serve as Prince and Princess of Wales “with humility and great respect”. 

William has no plans to stage an investiture ceremony to formally mark receiving his new title, it has emerged. The Prince and Princess of Wales are instead focussed on deepening the trust and respect of the people of Wales over time.  

William and Kate were last in Wales during the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations

A Kensington Palace spokesperson said: “The Prince and Princess have a deep affection for Wales, having made their first family home in Anglesey, and have thoroughly enjoyed previous visits and the warmth and kindness shown by the Welsh people.

“Their Royal Highnesses are looking forward to spending more time in Wales over the coming months and years, taking the time to strengthen their relationship with communities in all parts of Wales.”

Beyond this, Wales holds a special place in Prince William’s heart seeing as it played host to his first official engagement, aged eight. It’s also where Kate and William made their first home as Newlyweds when William worked as a search and rescue pilot.

Kate Middleton and Prince William went to Wales on a royal visit – their second since the Queen died. The Prince of Wales wore a stunning red coat by L.K.Bennett that cost £599.

On Tuesday, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited Wales and met different communities across the nation and they learned about the work of key charitable organisations.

READ: Marks & Spencer’s £9.50 top looks just like Princess Kate’s greatest style staple

The royal couple looked in great spirits; Kate looked radiant wearing an all-black ensemble, which she jazzed up with a truly stunning new red coat from L.K.Bennett.

The £599 style featured bold gold buttons and gold horsbit detail on the pockets. It’s actually known as the ‘Spencer’ coat – a sweet nod to her mother-in-law, Princess Diana. Spencer was her maiden name. How sweet!  The mother-of-three wore her hair in her trademark, lightly blow-dried style and subtle makeup highlighted her pretty features. She added her favourite Spells of Love earrings, in gold.

Princess Kate looked sensational, rocking Gianvito Rossi ‘Gianvito 105’ black suede high heel pumps and her Annoushka ‘Baroque Pearl Drops’ earrings.

Kate wore a Dolce & Gabbana coat last week that had a special meaning

She wowed royal fashion fans in a gold button-down coat by Dolce & Gabbana. She last wore the style, which is known as the ‘Black Collarless Long Coat’ for her first public engagement following Prince Philip’s funeral in April 2021, joining her husband at an air cadet centre. So the fact she did the same for her first appearance after the Queen’s funeral, felt particularly poignant.

The Princess of Wales often reaches for her D&G coat to mark sombre occasions, having memorably worn it on Remembrance Sunday back in 2017. It’s clearly a special item in her wardrobe.

Can a city break ever be sustainable? Discover the ultimate guide to a green break in Paris, including a review of 25Hours Hotel and B-Corp eatery Cojean.

Is it possible to enjoy a city break and still be a responsible traveller? When sustainability is high on your priority list, it’s difficult not to feel conflicted about your pledge to the planet when indulging in the joys of holiday planning.

DISCOVER: Best hotels in London: From celeb hotspot The Standard to luxury Shangri-La stays and more

Luckily, there are several ways to immerse yourself in another city’s culture whilst treading lightly on the planet. If discovering vintage thrift stores, indulging at sustainable eateries, cycling city tours and a dreamy stay in an eco-conscious urban hotel sounds like your kind of tonic, scroll on for the ultimate guide to a sustainable city break in Paris.

RELATED: Best European city breaks and short stays 2022: Where to go and where to stay

How to get to Paris Thanks to the Eurostar, a trip from the Big Smoke to the heart of Paris is just shy of two hours – and it’s easily the most sustainable way to travel. According to the Climate Action Network, the aviation industry alone contributes to around five per cent of global emissions, compared to train travel emitting up to 75 per cent less carbon emissions than any other form of public transport.

Eurostar is not only committed to switching entirely to renewable energy by 2030, but the company already uses 100% wind energy to power their trains in the Netherlands. It’s a no-brainer method of travel for the eco-conscious city breaker.

To book your next Eurostar trip, visit Trainline

Where to stay in Paris A stay at 25hours Hotel Terminus Nord is an absolute must for those wishing to immerse themselves in the City of Lights. Located just a mere stumble away from the Eurostar platform in Gare du Nord, this hotel serves the ultimate practicality and convenience for a dreamy weekend getaway.

Don’t be fooled by the charming Parisian exterior of this eclectic urban lodging. As soon as you step past the striped monochrome awning and Haussmann architecture, quintessential Paris feels worlds away. The hotel’s interiors are characterised by an eclectic mix of African and Asian style elements that pay homage to the lively spirit of the exuberant 10th arrondissement, bringing an alt oasis to the heart of the city.

Stepping into the foyer of 25hours took me back to the excitement of my backpacking days – where friendly staff and over-enthusiastic travellers fill the lobby with multilingual chatter. Colourful artwork lines the walls and kitsch souvenirs from local artists can be purchased at the desk. A fleet of bikes is available to hire, while co-working spaces open to anyone in the city bring a sense of community to the hotel’s cosmopolitan setup. The charm, of course, is that 25hours’ rooms are refreshingly more luxurious than the dormitories in backpacker hostels.

25hours excels in their attention-to-detail, particularly when it comes to sustainability. Where luxury meets home comforts, everything from essential toiletries from eco-brand STOP THE WATER WHILE USING ME!, to artwork crafted from reclaimed materials makes this space a climate-conscious traveller’s dream. It’s both romantic and eccentric without being gaudy, decked out with interirors inspired by Alex Toledano’s Portraits of the Gare du Nord (conveniently placed in the room for guests to enjoy).

Rain showers, a safe, minibar, UE Boom Bluetooth speaker and a breath-taking view of the Gare du Nord as well as Montmartre and Sacré Coeur from charming Juliet balconies are what make this hotel feel exceptionally special.

By night, the hotel’s resident restaurant NENI is a home to Middle-Eastern culinary delights. By day, a delicious array of classic Parisian pastries and continental delights to streaky bacon and fluffy pancakes are presented in a self-serve style buffet for guests to enjoy breakfast.

To book your stay, visit booking.com

Where to eat in Paris Parisians are spoilt for choice when it comes to eateries across the city, though few match the impressively minimal carbon footprint of Cojean, the first fast-food restaurant to achieve B-Corp status. I was fortunate enough to try many of the delights on Cojean’s colourful menu, from comforting pesto chicken and buttery golden mash to an antioxidant-rich ‘Yogi bowl’ and their must-try super green smoothies.

Call me dull, but I’m always on the hunt for fresh fruit and greenery on a holiday that is usually dictated by carbs and cocktails. Cojean was the perfect middleground, with richly indulgent options balanced by fruit-laden desserts and leafy green salads. The ideal pit stop for a day of sightseeing in Paris.

Perfect for a grab-n-go lunch for the traveller with a packed itinerary, Cojean’s deliciously fresh toasted sandwiches and pre-made nourish bowls make for the ultimate foodie experience on a budget.

With sustainability rooted in their ethos, profits from Cojean also go directly to charitable foundation, ‘Nourrir, Aimer, Donner’, which aims to fight poverty and to contribute to the sustainable development of the poorest communities worldwide.

Things to do in Paris Vintage shopping There’s something about thrifting that delivers the ultimate satisfaction to a sustainable city breaker. Check out Celia Darling Vintage for charming fits sure to get you snapped in a Parisian street style blog, or head to Le Marais for an eclectic mix of vintage boutiques and specialist thrift stores to uplevel your sustainable style.

E-bike tour Cycling is one of the best ways to see a city, and Paris is laden with electric bike hire hubs and accessible cycle routes that meander through every bucket list tourist spot. Between now and 2026, Paris will gain 180 kilometers (112 miles) of new permanent segregated bike lanes – so there’s never been a better time to get on your bike!

Go back in time a few years and most mid-toned blondes would have cringed at having their hair called a “mousy blonde”. Now, the colour is a top trend – and largely thanks to Hailey Bieber. The model debuted it earlier this year and her look prompted many of us to swap our highlights for something a bit moodier in tone.

It seems celebs have also been inspired by Hailey’s move to mousy hair as Margot Robbie has just tried out the colour for herself. Showing it off on the red carpet for the European Premiere of 20th Century Studios’ latest movie, Amsterdam – in which Margot features as the female lead – the Wolf of Wall Street actress looked very different from her usual bright blonde self.

Margot wore her hair down in very loose beachy waves and paired the darker hair colour with some smokey neutral eyeshadow and defined dark nude lips. Though the base of her hair has definitely been dyed darker, she’s kept some subtle face-framing lighter blonde sections around her face to give her look a brighter appearance.

While many of us will recognise Margot’s colour as being a mid-toned or a “dishwater” blonde, this exact neutral bronde has been coined a “mushroom” blonde by hair experts. Emma Vickery, Percy & Reed salon art director, explains: “The key difference between a mousy blonde and a mushroom blonde is the level of shine. A gloss is used to give bronde or dark blonde tones with cool, neutral bases a healthy sheen. There’s nothing boring about a moodier blonde!”

Another colour trend currently taking off is “moody money-piece” sections. If you haven’t heard of the original money-piece trend, “the look involves making the bulk of hair darker, while keeping contrasting light sections of hair at the front,” explains Josh Wood, celebrity hairstylist.

Hailey started the “mushroom bronde” hair colour trend
(Image: Instagram / Hailey Bieber)

The nineties-inspired style, which made its comeback during the first lockdown, is a favourite amongst celebrities like Beyoncé, Dua Lipa and Kylie Jenner. Now the look has had an upgrade for AW22.

“By sticking closer to your natural colour for a moody money piece, we can blend colour gently, which feels more natural than the thick, white stripes we’ve seen previously on the likes of Dua Lipa,” explains Lucy Robertson, brand ambassador for Bblonde.

In summary, this autumn it’s all about ditching bright highlights for more muted, darker tones. If it makes us look like Margot and Hailey then we’re more than willing to give it a try!

Eyeliner is just a simple thing we use to give our eyes a bit of extra definition, right? Actually, when used correctly, an eyeliner can be a clever anti-ageing tool with the power to lift, brighten and shape your eyes in one simple sweep.

If you aren’t sure just how to use a pencil or a pen to your advantage, let the A-listers show you their tried and trusted tricks. From Victoria Beckham’s long-time brightening eye hack to Ariana Grande’s foolproof way of getting neat and lifted flicks, the celebs have all the youth-boosting eye secrets you could possibly want.

Here we explain five of their go-to eyeliner methods for you to try at home…

Kate Middleton

(Image: Getty)

To open her eyes in a youth-boosting way, it’s said Kate Middleton uses a brown eyeliner on the outer third of her lower lash line. This gives her a more rounded, wide-eyed appearance. Her top lids are then often given a neutral and soft smoky effect with a natural brown eyeshadow to complement the liner.

Copy Kate with a soft and smudgeable brown eyeliner like Eyeko’s Black Magic: Cocoa Edit Pencil Eyeliner in Brown, usually £16 but yours from just £7.50 here in this month’s Recharge and Refresh OK! Beauty Box – with products worth over £120. The texture of the pencil is creamy and easily blendable, yet sets to a waterproof finish that will stay put for up to eight hours. Perfect for recreating Kate’s hack.

Victoria Beckham

If you look closely you’ll see Victoria always wears a creamy or white liner on her lower waterline

If you want to make your eyes appear rounded and brighter, VB has the perfect hack. In fact, she’s been turning to this trick for years to give her eyes a more youthful look. Her secret? A creamy coloured eyeliner drawn artfully on her lower waterline to give her eyes a wide-eyed and brightened appearance.

Shop her exact liner: Victoria Beckham Beauty Instant Brightening Waterline Pencil, £22 here.

Top tip: you can shop cheaper alternatives at Boots and Superdrug. Search for liners labelled “waterline pencils” as these are less likely to transfer and smudge during the day.

Beyoncé

Beyoncé’s MUA Sir John has a perfect eyeliner hack

This eyeliner hack comes from Beyoncé’s makeup artist, Sir John, who talked Byrdie through it. To give his A-list clients defined and sultry eyes, he first creates a flicked cat-eye using black liquid liner. He extends this right along the lash line. Then, the magic happens. He lifts the upper eyelid and fills in the waterline with a soft pencil eyeliner, making sure to fully connect the waterline pencil with the liquid black liner.

Shop the liner Sir John often uses: L’Oreal Paris Superliner Perfect Slim Eyeliner, £6.99 here.

Ariana Grande

Ariana is the queen of a feline flick. The singer is rarely seen without her signature liquid eyeliner look, which has prompted fans to ask her repeatedly for a tutorial on how she achieves such neat and symmetrical flicks.

Ariana delivered recently in the form of a TikTok video called “performing my ‘signature eyeliner’ technique”. You do have to have quite a steady hand but other than that, her method is pretty foolproof. She lifts the skin beneath her brows to give a taut base and then draws a flick using a black liquid eyeliner pen in one clean sweep down from the upper outer corners of her eyes.

Finally, she uses the tip of her nail to drag the eyeliner slightly more upwards to elongate the flick further. The result is a neat and lifted liner effect.

Shop her exact liner: R.E.M. Beauty At The Borderline Eyeliner Marker, £18 here.

The former The Only Way Is Essex star, 35, and ex-Coronation Street actress Michelle, also 35, have been watching their £3.5m property being built for over a year, and have documented the entire process on their joint Instagram account, @wrightyhome.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2015, look to have now officially moved into their incredible abode, after Michelle recently returned from Australia, where she had been filming a new Bioreports drama over recent months.

Mark shared a snap of one of their dogs, Pip, looking cosy, as well as two reels showcasing their new bedroom and bathroom.

The 35 year old looked pleased as he showed off the new mattress he and Michelle have purchased for their bedroom in the clip, which he shared alongside the caption: “Mattresses in!! Not gonna lie, quite impressed with our bed making skills”.

The stunning room boasts neutral decor with cream walls and white carpet, and a huge bed sits in the centre of the space covered with white blankets and scatter cushions.

A piece of artwork is hung on one wall and two small bedside tables sit either side of the bed.

The TOWIE star beamed as he jumped onto the bed and showed off his and Michelle’s stylish bedroom in the clip.

It comes after Mark unveiled one of the incredible bathrooms at his and Michelle’s mansion. He shared a transformation video of their bathroom and it’s fair to say the room is a five star.

In the video Mark can be seen snapping his fingers for a before and after view of the room. Certainly a dream, the bathroom has marble walls and flooring, a classic white bath and a spacious shower room.

In addition to this, the room also contains a sauna, steam rooms and his and her sinks.

Many of the page’s 437,000 followers took to the comment section to gush about how stunning the bathroom looked.

One person said: “Absolutely beautiful @wright_ @wrightyhome @michkeegan. You must be so pleased with the results … total luxury.”

A second wrote: “It looks absolutely amazing! Love the tiles in the steam room.”

“So stunning … fab taste. Good luck to you both, you both work hard enough for it. Don’t let anyone put you down,” another added.

Kim Kardashian seems to be on a mission to transform herself into a modern day Marilyn Monroe, and now her latest hair makeover takes her one step closer to achieving this goal. The star has ditched her extra-long lengths for a big blowout, giving her a very Marilyn-like look.

As usual, the man behind this bombshell style is Kim’s go-to hairstylist, Chris Appleton. One thing we can always count on Chris for is BTS content of the hair looks he creates on Kim – and he’s delivered that again with this bombshell style.

“Dolce vita,” he captions a short Instagram Reel showing the full details of Kim’s shorter hair. Naturally, fans are loving her change of style.

“I’m obsessed with these short looks, Chris!!” praises one, while a second adds: “That hair is bombshell perfection.”

A third writes: “Short hair Kim” with a heart-eye emoji.

Kim is known to wear wigs and hair extensions so we can’t say for sure if she’s cut her hair or had her extensions taken out/shortened, but either way, the look is a big change from the “Game of Thrones” extra-long blonde hair she’s been wearing for the past few months.

Kim is also busy sharing her shorter new look on her own Instagram page. Just a few days ago she gave fans a look at a new campaign she’s working on with high-end fashion brand Dolce & Gabbana named #CiaoKim. For the black and white clip Kim wears her blonde hair in short and bouncy Marilyn waves. Her hair colour features no dark roots so we’d imagine Chris styled up a wig for this particular look.

Kim’s Marilyn transformation comes after she wore the late Hollywood starlet’s very own dress for the Met Gala back in May of this year. It was the first time we saw Kim with peroxide hair, too – well, since she last dyed it blonde back in 2016. The Met Gala look went viral and prompted a huge search in demand for bleach blonde hair at hair salons, and the bright blonde trend has continued through to autumn..

Since Kim’s later hair looks all feature an inch-long dark root, we’re speculating that the star is attempting to grow out her blonde hair now that she’s worn the look for a good half of the year. Perhaps the “Kim effect” will mean that when she goes back to dark, we’ll all be desperate to get a glossy raven hue for ourselves as well!

Eamonn Holmes has taken multiple swipes at Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield over recent weeks, after they were criticised for allegedly ‘skipping’ the queue at the Queen’s lying-in-state.

GB News star Eamonn, 62, has made his opinion on the matter known and has branded the This Morning presenters “liars” and “arrogant”.

As he presented GB News alongside his co-anchor Isobel Webster recently, Eamonn weighed in on the queueing scandal, saying: “I’ll tell you what’s strategic. Why is Holly fighting to keep her job, according to The Sun, but Mr Phillip isn’t?”

Eamonn then read out the statement released by Holly, 41, and Phillip, 60, which defend their actions and explained that they had been working members of the media when they attended Westminster Hall.

Clearly not convinced by the pair’s explanation, Eamonn added: “We didn’t jump the queue, we were working. Why was your boss there working with you?

“They didn’t get a fast-track, they say. Lie. They say they didn’t pay their respects to the body. Lie. What else were they there for? Let’s just tell the truth about the whole thing.

“They messed up, and instead of being arrogant and saying, ‘We were there working as journalists,’ why don’t they just say, ‘Yeah, we thought it would be a good idea.’”

The former ITV star has also liked a string of tweets slamming Holly and Phillip, including one which read: “Personally, if I have a day off and the tv is on itv, I turn it over when Phillip and holly come on. I love @EamonnHolmes and Ruth and Alison Hammond & @radioleary…,” and another which called for the pair to be sacked.

It’s well-known that Eamonn has not always seen eye to eye with the This Morning presenters, especially Phillip, whose feud with Eamonn and Ruth, 62, dates back to 2019.

Loose Women host Ruth lodged a complaint against Phillip to ITV in 2019, according to The Sun, and the pair have shared a number of extremely awkward moments in front of the camera.

After she and Eamonn left This Morning in 2020, Eamonn opened up about Ruth and Phillip’s rift and branded him “passive aggressive”.

Eamonn told The Daily Mail’s Weekend magazine: “Phillip is renowned for snubbing people. He’s very passive-aggressive. It’s up to Ruth to say how she felt, but I was feeling hurt for her. No one would have snubbed me like that.”

The pair have denied the claims, saying they would ‘never’ skip a queue

Holly and Phillip have received a huge amount of backlash on social media after they were spotted walking past queuing mourners and paying their respects in a different line to the public at Westminster Hall.

A petition to have the two presenters axed has been signed thousands of times following the queue scandal, despite the duo insisting they did not ‘skip the queue’.

King Charles III has unveiled his new monogram following royal mourning which came to an end on Monday

Following the end of royal mourning, King Charles III unveiled his new monogram on Monday.

MORE: The touching meaning behind the Queen’s funeral flowers and King Charles III’s input

The royal cypher features the King’s initial ‘C’ intertwined with the letter ‘R’ for Rex – Latin for King. The letter ‘R’ moreover features the roman numerals ‘III’ to denote King Charles III’s full title.

WATCH: King Charles looks completely heartbroken as royal family sing God Save the King

In keeping with tradition, Charles’ cypher moreover includes a crown above the letters. The monogram is Charles’ personal property and was selected by the monarch from a series of designs created by the College of Arms. A Scottish version features the Scottish Crown, and was approved by Lord Lyon King of Arms.

SEE: The Queen’s funeral as it happened: George & Charlotte’s bravery & most moving royal moments

The King’s monogram will appear on government buildings, state documents and on some post boxes in the coming months and years.

The King’s new cypher

It will be used by government departments and by the Royal Household for franking mail and the decision to replace cyphers will be at the discretion of individual organisations.

As for passports, British passports currently reference the late Queen in the following way: “Her Britannic Majesty’s Secretary of State requests and requires in the name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary.”

This will be changed and updated with the King’s name only when passports need to be renewed as they approach their expiry date.

Existing post boxes will remain unchanged

The unveiling of the monarch’s cypher comes after Charles and Camilla travelled to Scotland to escape the spotlight following the late monarch’s incredibly emotional funeral. And on Sunday, the royal couple were spotted arriving at a church in Crathie Kirk, near Balmoral.

The monarch and his wife were driven to the church, with both opting to sit in the vehicle’s back seats. The King wore a smart black suit, while his wife wore a chic all-black ensemble.

Charles and Camilla travelled to Scotland after the Queen’s funeral

In a bid to keep warm, the Queen Consort covered her legs in a plaid blanket in shades of grey and black with subtle red detailing.

Queen Elizabeth II traditionally attended church at Crathie Kirk when she was in Scotland, and her family often joined her. Her eldest son and heir appears keen to keep the tradition going.

The Crown season 5 is set to be released in November – and will look at Diana and Charles’ split 

The Crown season five is confirmed to return on 9 November, and it appears that the upcoming series – which will look at the breakdown of King Charles III’s relationship with Princess Diana – and a senior royal source has spoken out against the show. 

VIDEO: The Crown season five: release date for Netflix show finally revealed along with tense trailer

According to The Telegraph, the royal source stressed that the show is a drama, not a documentary, ahead of its release later this year. Following Charles’ recent ascension to the throne as King, the popular series’ will almost certainly have viewers discussing the royal’s past as it is set to look at the King’s interview with Jonathan Dimbleby, as well as Diana’s interview with Martin Bashir. 

WATCH: The Crown season five teases Diana and Charles’ divorce

Although King Charles has never publicly spoken about the show,  Scottish Labour politician Anas Sarwar revealed that he had referenced it in a private conversation. While chatting about the meeting at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Anas said: “He came over and went, ‘Hello, nice to meet you all. I’m nowhere near how they portray me on Netflix’. I thought that was a really interesting way of how you describe yourself.” 

The new series will look at the couple’s split

Meanwhile, Queen Camilla has joked about her portrayal on the show after being joined by Emerald Fennell, who portrays the royal, at an International Women’s Day event at Clarence House. During the event, Camilla said: “For me, it’s very reassuring to know that if I should fall off my perch at any moment, my fictional alter ego is here to take over. So, Emerald — be prepared!”

David and Victoria Beckham spent the weekend with the designer’s family at their Cotswolds home after a difficult week

Victoria Beckham has had a few difficult weeks, after her son Brooklyn Beckham’s wife, Nicola Peltz, revealed that while she had wanted the designer to create her wedding dress, she had declined after admitting her atelier could not do it in time.

“Happy anniversary!! 52 years!!” Victoria wrote on her Instagram back then. “We love you both so much!!! Your marriage is an inspiration to us every day [heart emojis] @jackie.adams_.”

Upon seeing the heartwarming post, her doting mum responded: “Thank you!!! I’m sure your marriage is also an inspiration to lots of people. Love you all so so much. Have a fantastic holiday. Xxx.”

Victoria’s husband David also took to Instagram Stories, and posted: “We love you x. Happy anniversary [heart emojis].”

Victoria and David celebrated their 23rd anniversary back in July and share four children together, Brooklyn, 23, Romeo, 20, Cruz, 17 and 11-year-old Harper.

Victoria Beckham has given fans a sneak peek of her husband David’s impressive organic honey harvest at their sprawling Cotswolds mansion.

The fashion designer, 48, took to TikTok to proudly show off former footballer David’s beehives and his honey, as they enjoyed a weekend away at their £6m holiday home.

Victoria looked relaxed as she sported a grey sweatshirt and jeans in the clip, with the mum-of-four joking about David’s honey and referring to it as his “sticky stuff”.

“So, here with David whilst he collects his sticky stuff. He’s about to release his sticky stuff,” she said as she walked over to her husband.

“How’s it going?” the former Spice Girls star asked David, 47, who replied: “I think we have good ‘flowage’ to be honest.”

The couple admired the honey as it poured into two glass jars, with Victoria then taking one back to the house with her.

She told her followers: “So, I’ve got the sticky stuff, going to go and sample it. Let you know what David’s sticky stuff tastes like. I’m going to mark it out of ten and let you know.”

Victoria’s TikTok post quickly racked up over 480,000 likes with thousands of fans commenting on it, many quick to laugh at her comments concerning David’s honey.

“Victoria doesn’t get enough credit for how hilariously funny she is I love her,” one person said, while another agreed, adding: “She is very funny. She has a dry sense of humour and she is classy with it xxx”.

The mum-of-four’s latest social media post comes after she eagle-eyed fans noticed that she might have had her tattoo tribute to David removed from her wrist.

In a recent make-up video Victoria shared on Instagram, she is trying a new lip tint on her forearm as she shows the colour to her fans and it revealed the inking with her husband’s initials is no longer there.

In recent years Victoria seems to have removed many of her tattoos including the reference to the renewal of her wedding vows.

The Beckhams renewed their wedding vows in 2006 and Victoria had the roman numerals VIII-V-MMVI tattooed on her right inner wrist at the time, which is the date 8 May 2006.

She also had the words De Integro, meaning ‘again from the start.’ This is thought to represent the Beckham family’s move to America when David signed a deal to play for L.A. Galaxy in 2007.

Former The Only Way is Essex star Kate, 31, and football pundit Rio, 43, jetted off to on a ‘child free’ trip to France to mark their anniversary, and the pair looked as loved-up as ever in snaps shared on social media.

The couple, who tied the not in Turkey in 2019, posted an adorable video montage on Instagram which featured numerous short clips from their trip to the city of love, with Kate writing: “PARI you were everything, celebrating 3 years of marriage,” alongside heart emojis.

Rio said: “No kids around,” as Kate excitedly exclaimed: “We are free baby!”

Kate shares one year old son Cree with Rio, and is also step-mum to the former footballer’s three children, Lorenz, 15, Tate, 13, and Tia, 11.

The pair’s getaway kicked off with a lavish date night, with Kate sporting a quirky corset-style top and black trousers while Rio cut a casual figure in a cream shirt and beige trousers.

Kate could be seen planting a kiss on her husband’s cheek as they celebrated their anniversary, before heading on another night out to a swanky Italian restaurant later on.

Mum-of-one Kate got glammed up in a burnt orange and blue co-ord set from high street favourite Zara, which she paired with black heeled boots and her blonde locks slicked back in a bun.

Kim Kardashian has reportedly bought supermodel Cindy Crawford’s coastline Malibu mansion, costing her $70.4 million (£62 million).

It is said to be the most expensive property that has been sold in Malibu this year, which was once home to model Cindy Crawford and more recently Yellowstone star Barret Swatek and her husband Adam Weiss.

It is described as a “chic beachside oasis” and will soon be 41 year old Kim’s new home, according to reports.

The mother-of-four spends most of her time in the $60 million family home she previously shared with her ex-husband Kanye West, 45.

But the KUWTK star is now also said to be thinking long-term, by constructing two holiday homes that she’ll be able to enjoy with her children – North, nine, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and three year old Psalm.

The dreamy home is the fourth priciest home in the State of California and was first listed for $99 million (£87m) in March through Coldwell Banker.

This is more than double the price that Cindy, 56, and her husband Rande Gerbe, 60, sold it for in 2018 at $45 million.

We can see why this incredible house ticked Kim’s boxes, as according to toptenrealestatedeals.com, the two-story Mediterranean property spans 7,450 square feet with 3.2 acres of grounds.

It continues to reveal that the main floor of the house – which has coastline views of Malibu – is complete with a great room combining the living room, den, dining area, a gourmet kitchen, and a “wraparound deck a firepit”.

Kim’s new master suite will have a fireplace for cosy nights, a sitting area, dual “spa-like bathrooms” and of course, a walk-in closet.

The guest bedrooms include their own en-suites, with one having a private entrance, bathroom and kitchen.

And Kim won’t even have to leave her new home for work or exercise, as the mansion has its own gym as well as a media room.

But the star of the show has to be the spectacular pool and spa, which has also its own cabana and fireplace.

While you have stellar views of the sea from the mansion, it also has its own path leading down to the “white sands of El Sol Beach”.

It comes after it was claimed that single Kim is looking to date “someone older” following her split from Pete Davidson in August.

A source told E! news: “Kim’s expressed she’s ready to date someone older but it has to be the right person who understands her life. She isn’t compromising her freedom right now.

“She enjoys dating and is definitely open to putting herself out there again.”

Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague has announced that she’s expecting her first child with boyfriend Tommy Fury.

Molly, 23, and Tommy, also 23, announced the happy news on Instagram on 25 September, with the pair sharing an adorable black-and-white video of Tommy kissing Molly’s blossoming bump.

In the clip, mum-to-be Molly can be seen excitedly rubbing her bump while wearing a stunning maxi dress, and fans have been quick to hunt the influencer’s outfit down.

The grey knitted dress is priced at £45 and is from Topshop, which is now exclusively stocked on ASOS, and features a roll neck and side split.

The dress is already selling fast on the sight, no doubt thanks to fashionista Molly’s influence, so it’s likely that it won’t be available for much longer.

The PrettyLittleThing creative director and her boxer beau were inundated with congratulatory messages after they announced their happy news, with thousands flocking to wish them well.

The couple’s adorable video has so far racked up over 2 million likes in just 24 hours, with over 42,000 people commenting on the post.

Among those congratulating Molly and Tommy was former Islander and Molly’s BFF Maura Higgins, who excitedly wrote: “AND THERE WE GO IM CRYING AGAIN!!!! LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH.”

The mum-to-be’s older sister Zoe Hague said: “Love all 3 of you so much. You’re going to be incredible parents,” while Tommy’s sister-in-law Paris Fury added: “Awww I’ve watched this 20 times and just keep watching,” alongside several smiling emojis.

The heartwarming video montage featured a clip from Molly’s emotional speech at the Love Island 2019 finale, where she declared her love for Tommy in front of their fellow Islanders.

It then cut to a close-up of Molly’s baby bump, with dad-to-be Tommy sweetly planting a kiss on her stomach as they beamed.

Quoting her 2019 speech, Molly-Mae captioned the clip: “I can’t wait for the adventures that we haven’t even dreamed of yet”, followed by an angel emoji.

The pair met on Love Island in 2019 and came in second place on the ITV2 dating show, with Amber Gill and Greg O’Shea being crowned the winners.

Molly and Tommy’s romance has continued go from strength to strength since leaving the villa, and earlier this year they announced that they’d purchased their first home.
