How new Queen of Clean ROO DAY is coming for Mrs Hinch's crown - even after life-changing event
The sofa is brand new, sumptuous and oh-so strokable. It has a buttery velvet finish, which lends itself beautifully to vacuuming stripes into the fabric, if that's your thing (and it is most definitely Roo Day's thing).
It's cream, though. Cream! Who buys a cream velvet sofa just a few weeks away from giving birth? Perched on this lovely sofa with Roo and her massive bump, I'm nervous for her, and for this sofa. If her waters break now, all is doomed. And when the baby arrives…

Justin Bieber shares video with Chris Brown as his posting spree sparks concern
After Justin Bieber shared an Instagram post with a cryptic caption about 'transactional relationships', some of his fans urged him to seek help as they expressed concern for him Justin Bieber's fans have expressed their concern for the singer after he admitted that he is "tired of transactional relationships" in a new post on social media. The Baby singer shared a series of statements on Instagram today, including a cryptic caption alongside two black-and-white selfies. He wrote: "Tired of transactional relationships. If I have to do something to be loved, that's not love." Amid his posting spree on Instagram, the Peaches hitmaker also shared a video of controversial singer Chris Brown. In the footage shared on Justin's Instagram Stories, Chris can be seen dancing and randomly yelling. Brown, who was released from a UK prison on bail last month, is set to perform in Amsterdam this evening. Justin captioned the video of Brown with the word "mood". The father-of-one, who shares little Jack Blues with his wife Hailey Bieber, also seemed to reflect on his emotional exhaustion in an additional post - and many of his followers took to the comment section to express concern. "Someone needs to do a wellness check. He is NOT OK," one wrote. Someone else described Justin as "the Britney Spears of our generation" while a fan assured him: "You are loved by us, the real beliebers." One more urged Justin to "get help" saying: "Bro stop posting and get help I'm serious." One reflected: "Love is transactional, that's the point, that's real love. Love is not supposed to be unconditional, unless it's your child. You can't love someone who doesn't give you anything to love them for. This post sounds like it's coming from a 20-year-old, not from someone who is in their 30s with a wife and kid." A fan added: "Your son loves you unconditionally. He doesn't know you're THE Justin Bieber! He just knows you as Dad, and for him that's enough!" Someone else defended Justin by saying: "To the people in the comments being negative: Justin has been venting and sharing his feelings on his social media for years now. "It's really honorable to see a person of his caliber be so open with his thoughts. It takes a strong person to admit to the world that some days are harder than others. Stop shaming him for sharing. He's a raw and vulnerable human who goes through the motions like the rest of us. Let him share and be real. It makes him admirable." Sharing more reflections on his Instagram Stories, Justin also addressed the pressure he has felt during his careers when he was urged to work harder. He said: "I don't think any of us can handle hearing, 'You just gotta try a little harder and you will be like me.' It's not true. I listened to those fools who told me to work harder. And there's no end to trying to earn ur spot in this life because I tried." He added: "U have everything u need right now." In another recent post, he wrote: "U could point at my flaws. Or u could recognize ur own lil b****," before adding a red droplet emoji. But this admission also caused concern among fans as one said: "So hard and sad to watch. Why are the people around him not helping him when he's clearly struggling. He's not clear at all and hurting." Some of his followers have also urged Justin to take a break from social media due to his lengthy rants. In an Instagram post this week, over a pink background, he shared with his followers: "Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else's kids. Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn't have. "The audacity. That's not your place. God decides what we deserve." One fan commented: "God told me you need a social media break," - and over 21,000 people liked the comment.

I hope to do a better job of parenting than previous generations, says new mum Karen Gillan
Karen Gillan has revealed she is trying to 'do a better job at parenting' than 'the previous generation'. Despite having praised her mother and father for being good parents, Ms Gillan said she feels there are things she could improve on. Speaking ahead of the release of her latest film The Life of Chuck, the Scots star explained that working on a story about the end of the world had made her reevaluate her own legacy. She even vowed to 'shield' her daughter Clementine, whom she shares with husband Nick Kocher, from things she doesn't want to 'pass on' to her. Karen told film review website Cherry Picks: 'We can all look back on out upbringings and see the things that were done well in our upbringing and the things where we might be tied up in knots now. And we might have to learn how to undo them as adults.' She added: 'I'm just sort of figuring out now I've got my own child, how can I do a slightly better job than the previous generation. And hopefully she does a slightly better job than I do and that's growth and evolution.' The 37-year-old has previously praised her parents for giving her an 'incredibly stable upbringing' in Inverness. Her father Raymond worked in a care centre for people with learning disabilities and mother Marie at a supermarket Speaking to Mail Online in 2021, Karen stressed: 'My parents are so down to earth and normal. They gave me a childhood that made me unshakeable.' The Marvel star announced her own transition into parenthood, along with her new film project, in September. Taking to Instagram, she wrote: 'COMING SOON! 'The Life of Chuck' and 'untitled baby'.' But in a series of interviews to promote her new film on Friday, Gillan suggested that the process of preparing for both of her new roles had unearthed far more existential questions than she had bargained for. Describing her efforts to act out the apocalypse convincingly, Gillan said: 'I tried to play it as truthfully and as authentically as possible, calling upon things that I've experienced.' She explained that this self-reflection had forced her to confront her own potential blind-spots as a parent. Gillan told Awards Watch: 'There's so many things I'm examining in myself that I maybe want to shield her from and maybe I don't want to pass on to her or something like that you know. But I think that's how it goes.'
