WWE bombshell Nikki Bella reveals she suffered rare horrific breast implant injury during match
Longtime WWE bombshell Nikki Bella revealed she suffered a rare horrific injury during last week's Monday Night RAW - one of her breast implants has been pushed into her ribs. Bella participated in an eight-woman tag during last week's show, teaming with Iyo Sky, Rhea Ripley, and Stephanie Vaquer against the quartet of Naomi, Chelsea Green, Alba Fyre, and Piper Niven. It appears that an elbow drop from the stout Niven to a grounded Bella was the move that dislodged her implant. Bella did not take part in the mega two-night SummerSlam event this past weekend at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Instead, Bella detailed what she was up to with the scary ailment. 'We were just out there talking I was just like, "Oh my god, I'm having so much fun." I didn't want the match to end,' Bella said on her podcast. 'I was in a little bit of pain, but I didn't want it to end.' 'I mean, your implant okay?' Brie Bella, Nikki's twin sister, stated. 'I think it's stuck in your ribs, but…' 'I think it is. I had to go to the doctor yesterday to get my t** looked at,' Nikki continued. 'I was just telling Brie, I'm having conversations with my shirt off and I'm thinking in my head, like, "I didn't think I'd be here today on my day off in New York City getting my boob looked at, knowing that my implant I think has moved." And I'm like, "Alright, it has moved." It's moved.' 'It's okay. We're going to get it fixed one day. I told the doctor, I go, "Newly divorced, so the minute the boots are hung up, I'm going to come back to you and we're going to make these girls look real good, because these girls are going to get some action in the future and that can't look like that."' On the latest episode of the podcast, Nikki gave another update on her breasts, saying she did not expect the coverage of her mishap to be 'everywhere'. 'I literally had told Brie all of this in private and when she said it live about my implant, I was like, "Are you kidding me?"' Nikki added. 'Then yesterday it was everywhere about my implant. I keep getting text messages, I was just backstage and everyone kept coming up, like, "Is it okay?"' 'I'll know later. I don't know yet if it exploded or not. It still seems intact. It's swollen, it hurts, but I think it might be fine. ... I can't believe I'm loudly talking about this, but hey, it's 2025, whatever. Send well wishes to my fake boob, thank you.'

The teen opened up about having counselling in her new reality series dear diary Princess Andre 'wishes she had a happier childhood' as she opens up about Katie Price marriage split and 'dark times' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRINCESS Andre says she "wishes she had a happier childhood" as she opens up about mum Katie Price's marriage split. The 18-year-old is the daughter of Katie Price and her first husband Peter Andre. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Princess Andre has spoken about how she wishes she'd 'had a happier childhood' in her new reality series Credit: princessandrex/Snapchat 6 Princess is the daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre Credit: Getty 6 But Princess was hit hard by Katie's divorce from third husband Kieran Hayler when she was 11 years old Credit: Alamy The couple had an explosive split in 2009 after four years of marriage, when Princess was just two years old. While Princess was too young to really remember her parents together, she has traumatic memories of the breakdown of Katie's third marriage to Kieran Hayler. In her new ITV2 series - The Princess Diaries - the teen opens up about her younger years and admits: "I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then. "But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes. "I do wish, like, I could have had a more happier childhood. In the sense of like, I had so many things on my plate at a young age." She continued: "I wish sometimes that I wasn't like that and I could have actually had things in the back of my mind so young." Katie, 47, and Kieran were married from 2013 until 2018, when they split following his extramarital affair with Katie's best friend. Speaking to the camera, Princess said: "Obviously I had amazing times in my childhood, I have amazing memories from when I was younger with my mum and my dad, and I also have not so good memories of the time when my mum and Kieran split up, when I was like, 10 years old. "He was in our lives for like five years, so we got really close to him and we loved him. "He did a lot of stuff and when they split up, everything kind of went downhill. Emotional Peter Andre reveals strict rule for Princess and Junior "My mum, obviously being heartbroken, didn't deal with that in the best way, she went through a very, very dark time, which is understandable. "Which is hard for me because I was around adulty things that kids should never see and I think as well, when we needed our mum there, she wasn't emotionally able to be there because she had so much of her own problems going on." Princess added how she would regularly come home from school and "get into bed and cry" over things people were saying or asking in the school ground relating to her famous mum. She added: "I would never go and speak to my dad about it because I obviously have always grown up with 'my mum and dad don't like each other' which is fair enough, they're not going to." I wouldn't say I'm fully, fully recovered from it Princess Andre Princess concluded: "I could speak about my childhood and be absolutely fine, but then once something sets me off and then I actually deep everything, I'm like 'Oh my God, like no'. "And then it makes me think that I'm still not over anything or still not really healed from what's happened. "I wouldn't say I'm fully, fully recovered from it but mum is such a different person and if you put her now to back then, she's genuinely really fixed herself." 6 Princess was close to Kieran and said things went 'downhill' for her mum after the messy split Credit: Getty - Contributor 6 Princess said she has had counselling for what she went through when she was younger Credit: Getty 6 The 18-year-old is super close to Katie and said her famous mum had 'fixed herself' in recent years Credit: Splash The Princess Diaries begins on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and will be available as a boxset drop on ITVX.

Mum left in stitches after baby scan photo bears striking resemblance to popular TV presenter, but do you see it?
Plus, other comical baby scans that have left people cracking up OH BABY Mum left in stitches after baby scan photo bears striking resemblance to popular TV presenter, but do you see it? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PREGNANT woman roared with laughter after realising a scan of her unborn baby looked like . . . Strictly and Traitors host Claudia Winkleman. Amy Baldwin, 38, was amazed when the grainy 12-week ultrasound last week seemed to show a bob and fringe similar to 53-year-old Claudia's famous locks. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Amy Baldwin, from Hastings, was shocked when she looked closely at her baby scan Credit: Simon Jones 4 Her family pointed out the scan looks remarkably like TV host Claudia Winkleman Credit: Simon Jones 4 Many people on social media also see the likeness to Traitors and Strictly host Claudia Credit: Getty Amy, below, who already has three young kids, told The Sun: 'I didn't notice at first but my eldest said: 'Why does the baby look like Claudia Winkleman?' "As soon as she said it, I couldn't unsee it. Every time I look at it, I just laugh. 'Claudia is a national treasure but I'm not sure I want to give birth to her!' Influencer Amy then shared the image with her 70,000 TikTok followers. Among the viewers was Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt, who posted: 'Claudia's cute, so your baby will be.' X Factor stars Jedward also joined in, quipping: 'Middle name or first better be Claudia.' But others reckon the foetus looks more like lanky-haired comic Noel Fielding. Amy, from Hastings, East Sussex, added: 'The comments have kept me entertained for days.' It's not the first time a baby scan has caused a laugh. A mum-to-be previously shared her image of her twins, with them in a rather unfortunate position.

We recently shared how Claudia Winkleman looked totally different as she went bare-faced after eye op and revealed she was banned from wearing her trademark eyeliner. The Traitors host, 53, gushed about her doctor following a successful procedure. Claudia revealed she would be forced to go without her trademark eyeliner for weeks after her June op as she recovered. Although she didn't go into detail about what she had done, it was thought to be laser eye surgery, which is used to correct vision problems. Posting a snap of her cuddled up to her eye doctor Julian, Claudia wrote on social media: "This amazing human makes me see. "He's operated on my eyes before and he did it again today. "No eyeliner for weeks and I sleep in googles (no words) but I'm eternally grateful. "Do NOT zoom in on my left eye - it's wonky. "Thank you Julian. I paid for the treatment, this isn't an ad. "I just love him. It's very possible I'm still a bit sedated. Night night." In May, pictures were leaked of Celebrity Traitors being filmed in the Scottish Highlands with what looked like a Trojan horse. The 19 celebs on the show, hosted by Claudia, include Stephen Fry, Charlotte Church, Kate Garraway, Jonathan Ross and Celia Imrie. They have all had to hand over their phones to crew to prevent them from discussing game plans on the show, expected to air in October.
