I puked in a cup at Windsor Castle just metres away from King Charles – then had no clue how to get rid of it
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MEETING the King is always quite nerve-racking. But nerves weren't the reason Hannah East was sick at Windsor Castle when she went to meet King Charles. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Hannah East shared the mortifying moment she puked just metres away from King Charles Credit: No Parental Guidance podcast 7 Fellow host Louise Boyce also shared her epic parenting fail during the episode Credit: No Parental Guidance podcast 7 Mum-of-three Hannah, shared her awkward moment with King Charles Credit: Getty On the latest episode of Fabulous' No Parental Guidance podcast, mum-of-three Hannah shared the mortifying moment she threw up just metres away from the monarch. The hilarious episode also saw fellow host, Louise Boyce, share how her daughter, six, called her a horrendous four-letter word in a supermarket. Watch our No Parental Guidance podcast on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. ''This one is from two years ago," Hannah said. "My dad got an MBE. "He was going to meet the Queen who had just passed away, so he was going to see the King - and I found out the day before that I was pregnant with my third. ''I wondered 'would I be projectile vomiting all the time?'" said the comedian, who was seven weeks pregnant at the time. ''We're in this queue for ages. Emma Radacanu was stood in front of us looking like this absolute goddess. ''I was like, 'Dad, that's Emma Radacanu' and he was like, 'Who?' because he has no idea, he doesn't like tennis.'' Although the family were ''excited'' for the latest addition to the brood, the early stages of the pregnancy caused Hannah to feel queasy - and she desperately needed some water to ease the sickness. ''I said this to like a butler, 'Excuse me, I'm really sorry, is it possible to have a glass of water?' Because you're not allowed to take anything in, there was no refreshments or anything there.'' After explaining she was expecting, the butler passed her a glass of water which she downed - and that's when what her worst fear came true. Konnie Huq reveals mortifying moment she had a wardrobe malfunction at the Baftas after wearing a sheer dress She recalled: "I was like 'oh my God, I think I'm going to be sick'. And Dad was like 'well there's no bloody toilets here'. ''Dad was getting called up and we're in this fourth room out of ten rooms. So I literally held the cup to my my mouth and [puking sounds]. ''Emma Radacanu was just stood there, my dad's waiting for this MBE and I like vomited into the cup.'' 7 Hannah also saw Emma Radacanu, pictured here with King Charles, when her dad was invited to Windsor Castle Credit: PA 7 Hannah pictured with her dad at Windsor Castle in 2022 Credit: Facebook/Hannah East She went on: ''It's like a sick phlegm. So you know when your kids are sent home from school and you're like, 'Was it sweetcorn and carrots - or was it sick phlegm?''' Hannah was then left clutching the cup awkwardly, before finally handing it back to a member of staff, sick and all. She said: "I was carrying it for ages and then we were waiting by the doors and they opened the doors and I could see the King. "This lady said 'you can't take that in there'. So I said 'you might want to put that down the tap, I've just been a bit sick'." Horrendous four-letter word in a supermarket 7 After visiting her pals, Louise's daughter, six, picked up a very rude word Credit: No Parental Guidance podcast Fellow host and mum-of-three Louise Boyce, 45, has also had her fair share of epic parenting fails - including a rude four-letter word her daughter had picked up from her friend's cat. One of her pals, Laura, has a cat - which the friend always claims is ''hard work''. ''And I just want to punch her in the face because I'm like, 'It's a cat'," she told her co-host. On one occasion, Louise visited Laura and her partner Stew with her kids - but little did she know the children would walk away with a new word in their vocabulary. ''When we got to their house, there was a card from Stew to Laura for their new house. ''And it simply says, 'The cat is a c**t'.'' Aware that her children can already read, the former model was mortified. ''My kids walk in and the first thing they see is this card - and they can't stop staring at it; it's almost like they know that it's wrong. ''They are looking at it as if Santa's holding it in Disneyland.'' Although Louise begged for the card to be turned around, it was already too late - as her daughter, five at the time, asked her what a c**t was. ''I just had to say it's a really, really naughty word that no one ever says.'' Unfortunately for Louise, her daughter likes to ''test'' her - and she decided to do it at the worst possible time and place. ''So then we're out and about and I can feel it, I know my daughter. And also the word sounds very much like 'can't'. ''So then my daughter's like, 'Mummy, you can't. You can't, you can't'. ''And we're in public. I'm like, 'I can't what?' ''And she's like, 'Mummy, you're a c**t'. ''I could see people looking at me, I'm like, 'She's saying 'can't''. ''Oh God, this is horrendous, I haven't even told my husband this. ''I don't know what to do.''

I thought I'd got a great bargain with my £5.70 bow baby shower decoration from Temu – but I was stunned by what arrived
Diana immediately saw the humour in the situation... BOW DOWN I thought I'd got a great bargain with my £5.70 bow baby shower decoration from Temu – but I was stunned by what arrived Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PREGNANCY is a whirlwind of planning, nesting, and excitement. Every detail matters, from the perfect nursery theme to the decorations for a baby shower. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Diana Huynh was left baffled after purchasing a Temu baby shower item Credit: Jam Press/@diariesofdiana 4 She believed that she was ordering a bow off the website Credit: Jam Press/Temu But for one mum-to-be, the hunt for the perfect door bow turned into an unexpected and hilarious reality check. Diana Huynh, a 37-year-old from Toronto, was scrolling through Temu, the popular online marketplace known for its ultra-low prices. She found what she thought was the ideal baby shower decoration: a charming, three-dimensional door bow. Priced at just under £6, it seemed like a steal. She clicked "add to basket," envisioning the perfect, elegant welcome for her guests. But when the package arrived, the excitement quickly turned to confusion. Instead of the plush, fabric bow she imagined, Diana found a flat, folded piece of polyester. As she unfolded it, the image on the fabric became clear: a full-sized, printed picture of a door with a bow on it. The tiny holes in the corners confirmed her suspicion - this wasn't a bow at all, but a hanging banner with a picture of a bow on it. Diana immediately saw the humour in the situation. I thought I'd bagged a bargain bookshelf on Temu but I was not prepared for what turned up "It honestly looked very convincing," she told What's The Jam. While she'd noticed the hanging holes, she'd genuinely believed they were for hanging a physical bow on her door. It was a classic "lost in translation" moment, and she couldn't help but laugh. Her friends and family were just as amused. The story quickly made its way to TikTok, where it went viral, racking up over 77,000 likes. The comments section was filled with a mix of shared experiences and playful teasing. 4 It's description described it as a door cover and door banner Credit: Jam Press 4 However, she was left confused after something else arrived Credit: Jam Press/@diariesofdiana Some pointed out the fine print, while others had their own "Temu tales" of unexpected deliveries. "Girl, it's Temu… what did u expect…?" one user wrote, a common sentiment among online shoppers familiar with the site's unpredictable offerings. Despite the mix-up - and the fact that the banner was ultimately chucked after the baby shower - Diana hasn't been deterred from using the site again. A spokesman for Temu said: 'We had already removed the item from our platform prior to your message, as part of our ongoing monitoring efforts. "We require all sellers to ensure their products accurately match the descriptions in their listings. 'Customers are covered by our 90-day money-back guarantee for items that are not as described. "Our customer service team is available 24/7 to help with any post-sale concerns.'

Today's horoscope for August 18 as Leo's spontaneous encounter could turn into a meaningful opportunity
Today's horoscope for August 18 sees one star sign will discover a hidden strength, while another will feel as if they're wading through emotional undercurrents It's Monday, August 18th, and one star sign's spontaneous encounter could turn into a meaningful opportunity. There are 12 zodiac signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces - and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more. These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here's what today could bring for your horoscope - and what you can do to be prepared. Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20) Sharing ideas with like-minded people energise you. Conversations inspire you to look into new possibilities. Lean into teamwork today. In group situations you will balance assertiveness with charm and the right words will open doors. The more unusual a situation, the more it will attract your interest. Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21) Even when you feel strongly about an issue, you will be willing to soften your approach. This helps you connect more deeply with others. A surprising insight will guide a long-term decision and you will know you are making the right choice. Familiar comforts help you relax this evening. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) You have always loved to mix and mingle and you will be especially expressive now, both socially and in the workplace. Friends and colleagues are drawn to your bright personality. Be open to unusual suggestions and explore ideas that break routines. Flexibility is your secret power. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) You feel things deeply. Someone senses there is more to you than meets the eye and they want to find out more. People are impressed by your quiet confidence. An emotional memory will bring healing especially if you allow intuition to steer practical choices. You are more grounded than you might think. Leo (July 24 - Aug 23) You radiate natural leadership. That's why you will be asked to take charge of a team effort. Senior colleagues are watching your performance. Take this chance to set the tone with kindness and vision. A spontaneous encounter could turn into a meaningful opportunity. Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23) Solitude helps you think more clearly. Inner clarity as well as peace of mind will come through rest and reflection. In a tense situation, step back and observe before acting. You will discover a hidden strength by releasing old patterns, gently. Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23) Partnerships thrive especially when everyone shows a willingness to listen as well as to talk. Harmony leads the way and this suits you well. You're happy to share your ideas and ask for suggestions. Someone close will surprise you with a new way forward. If this makes you nervous, be receptive, not reactive. Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) You're focused and determined and you intend to achieve your current goals. Yet events today will prompt you to look at the deeper story behind your ambitions. Taking a different perspective to these experiences will help change everything for the better. Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) Your mind is buzzing with new and different possibilities. You won't be held back by your more cautious friends as you are ready for experiences that challenge and uplift you. A message will reveal a truth that is worth acting on. Say yes to what excites your spirit. Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) It will feel as if you are wading through emotional undercurrents. This isn't what you expected from today but it will be necessary. Don't rush the process. What is rising to the surface holds value. This is a lesson in trust. A breakthrough is within your reach. Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19) Mixing with a diverse group of people will lead to new understandings. It's a day to be curious, not cautious. Take part in conversations going on around you and ask plenty of questions. Someone close will speak the words you have been needing to hear. Let instinct guide your responses. Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20) Little things matter more than usual to you now. A kind word, small gesture or slight change in routine could hold a lot of meaning. Stay open to change for as unexpected as this might be, it will work to your advantage.
