JLS star JB Gill's son bags impressive new job as family 'can't control their excitement'
JLS star JB Gill 's son Ace has got himself a new job working for Nickelodeon, with the 10-year-old already building a successful showbiz career. Strictly contestant JB and his wife Chloe were thrilled to share their son's exciting news, as they updated fans on social media.
Writing on Instagram, an delighted Chloe wrote: "The little Gills can't control their excitement as we have got news to share! We can fiiiiiinally reveal what @acejgill has been up to for the last 18 months!!
"He is voicing TOMMY in the brand new @nickelodeon animation TIM REX IN SPACE, the series starts tomorrow 7.55am on @milkshake_tv so make sure you tune in!! We are SO unbelievably proud of you @acejgill Well Done #timrexinspace #newseries #proud "
Tim Rex in Space follows a Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex) named Tim, his big brother Tommy, little sister Tia and triceratops best friend Kai as they embark on adventures in space. Tim and his family live in a world made up of a cluster of asteroids - the town of Rumbleton.
The intergalactic environment includes suburban necessities, with each asteroid having its own family homes, cafés, shops, parks, and even a beach. The asteroids are connected by a network of slides, ziplines and trampolines, but can also easily be reached on a quick rocket ride.
JB and Chloe also have a daughter Chiara, six. The little girl gave her family a huge scare recently, having been rushed into hospital with a worrying health scare while JB was working on the Strictly Come Dancing tour.
Speaking to the Mirror at the TV Choice Awards in February, JB opened up about the terrifying ordeal, giving an update on her recovery and revealing how he struggled with being away from his family. When asked if Chiara had got the all clear, JB enthused: 'Yeah, absolutely. She's much better.'
But, he also had some mixed news to share, adding that doctors hadn't ever been able to clarify what had caused her to become suddenly ill. 'I don't know what it was, still don't know what it was,' he said.
'But yeah, she just basically had - her eye was swollen and she got an infection, and so obviously we just kind of erred on the side of caution, took her to the doctors, the GP, and they referred her.'
JB, who was a runner up on Strictly last year, added: "For me obviously it's tough, because I was on the road at the time, travelling, and you're always sort of wondering 'Should I be coming home, do I need to come and support…?'
"Under normal circumstances that's something I'd obviously be right there with Chlo, we'd all be there together for our daughter. But she was okay, she just obviously needed to have urgent care and attention, and she got that."
JB's wife Chloe, who is also a trained dancer, broke the news of Chiara's illness last month. She shared photos of the young girl getting IV antibiotics and then being monitored by a professional at home.
She said: "When you get that gut feeling you can't shift, this is your reminder to ALWAYS listen to it! I ended up taking Kiki to A&E a few days ago as I wasn't happy with her eye, she didn't have a stye she ended up having Periorbital Cellulitis and needing IV Anti-biotics straight away to get it under control."

Strictly Come Dancing's Karen Hauer's 'nasty' confession about ex husband Kevin Clifton
The Strictly Come Dancing professional has now split from her third husband, Jordan Wyn-Jones. Strictly Come Dancing professional Karen Hauer has split from her fitness pro husband, Jordan Wyn-Jones. It comes after the dancer was pictured without her wedding ring last week, just 16 months after the couple married. Jordan is Karen's third husband, with her first being former dance partner Matthew Hauer and her second fellow Strictly dancer Kevin Clifton who has now been with Stacey Dooley for five years. Karen said she was 'blindsided' by how quickly Kevin moved on in 2018, and was left 'struggling to get out of bed'. The star described the break-up with Kevin as the 'toughest period of her life' and praised her rescue dog Betty for helping her through the hard times, reports The Mirror. The pair married in 2015 after meeting on the New York leg of long-running live dance show Burn The Floor in 2011. At the time, Kevin was still with his second wife, ballet dancer Clare Craze, and he had also previously married amateur Latin world champion Anna Melnikova in 2003. According to Kevin, Venezuelan pro dancer Karen was everything he had been looking for. Of that time, he once said: "I wasn't myself - a lot of friends and family were telling me that. It was just a bit of a weird time. When I met Karen, I could get on with her on a completely different level." In 2015, he proposed on stage during a performance of Burn The Floor on Karen's birthday, and they married that same year in London. But looking back, Karen said it might have been too much, too soon, telling Closer magazine: "I don't think we were ready for marriage. We were still growing as performers, as people, as lovers, and sometimes you just can't find the right way to fix things." By 2016, rumours of trouble in paradise were swirling, and Karen recently revealed that their relationship "got really nasty overnight" as she battled with her mounting jealousy. "It's six years down the line and things started going wrong, just little things, like a phone call, like, 'You didn't call me the whole day'", she told The Divorce Club podcast. Of Kevin's reaction to her challenges, she continued: "Sometimes I would get the 'You're not very kind, you're not very nice' and I was like 'What do you mean? I don't understand.' There were little attacks that we would do to each other." But according to Karen, the rot really set in when she clung on tighter to the marriage amid her own sense of insecurity - a move which only caused more rows. She explained: "Then the fights, I was getting jealous, but I was only jealous because I wasn't getting the attention that I wanted from my husband and then I didn't understand why so I started gripping, trying to pull him. 'Why are you not doing this? Why are you not doing that?' Exactly what you're not supposed to do, I just wanted answers. And then it just got really nasty overnight." They tried therapy, but Karen said there was "too much anger and emotional baggage" for it to work. And finally, they woke up one morning, looked at each other and 'knew' it was over. "Eventually we both couldn't take it anymore," she added. Kevin and Karen confirmed their split in early 2018 but continued to work together on Strictly, which understandably made moving on more difficult. Especially as Karen admitted she'd wanted to save their marriage. "I would have never let go of it. I wouldn't have never, never let go of it." She continued. "I would have liked to have fought for it and it took me a year after we separated to actually let go of him. It took me a long time to cut the umbilical cord that I had connected to him. Because it was connected for such a long time and at a completely different level than my first marriage, because this marriage was what I was always looking for."

Brooklyn Beckham distressed over claims wife Nicola Peltz 'hasn't backed down for months'
The star is said to be 'excruciated by everything' Brooklyn Beckham has spoken out to quash rumours that his wife Nicola Peltz is controlling him, as close pals reveal his distress over the negative portrayal of his spouse. The eldest child of David and Victoria Beckham is upset by claims that Nicola is unfairly targeted following reports that his family was not invited to their wedding vow renewal ceremony. An insider commented: "It's so rooted in misogyny that all of the heat for his parents not being invited is on Nicola. Everyone seems to forget that Brooklyn is an adult man and fully capable of speaking out. Nicola would have respected all that he chose. It breaks Brooklyn's heart to see his wife being painted as this vixen and viper." The 'Lola' star has faced allegations of cutting her husband off from both his relatives and mates. Observers have noted that at the August 2 event, which Nicola's father Nelson officiated, there appeared to be an absence of Brooklyn's extended family and British friends. While Brooklyn has not officially responded to the controversy, he recently made his feelings clear through social media actions. He liked an Instagram comment from a user who stood up for Nicola. The commenter had stated: "Why is it assumed that she made the decision to exclude them? ... If he really wanted his parents there, they would be." The Mirror has recently reported on the severe rift between David and Victoria Beckham and their daughter-in-law, which resulted in the couple only learning about the vow renewal through online news and photographs, reports the Mirror. Friends of Nicola and Brooklyn have revealed that his siblings Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, were also excluded from the event following what they describe as a string of online jibes. A source commented: "Brooklyn's brothers have been fanning the flames. They've openly made fun of and trolled Brooklyn in comments on social media." However, there are those who question the necessity of ostracising the entire family. Excluded from the August 2 festivities in the US were all the Beckhams - including little sister Harper, as well as grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. An insider confided to the Mirror: "Why punish the whole family for what is essentially a fallout with just the mum and dad?" It was reportedly difficult to not invite Harper, 14, given her closeness to Brooklyn and the grandparents. A friend remarked: "They are trying to make the best decisions for them in what are very unfortunate circumstances. Navigating family stuff is hard and it's ugly." Despite the current estrangement, the couple maintains hope for mending ties. The same friend added: "The door is open. No one wants to see this kind of pain exist. There is always hope. At the end of the day, blood is thicker than water."
