Married At First Sight star Cyrell Paule reveals shock reason why she was cruelly 'mummy shamed' at son's sports day
A Married At First Sight star has revealed the moment she was savagely mum-shamed at her son's sports day. Cyrell Paule, 36, who appeared on season six of the Aussie dating show in 2019, took to Instagram on Thursday to vent about a recent incident that saw her criticised by another mum for packing an unhealthy lunch for her son Boston, five. 'Today I was mummy shamed... at least that's how it felt,' she captioned the Instagram story. The reality star went on to share that she had been battling an illness 'all week' in the run up to her son's athletic carnival. When it came to the big day, the mum made the decision to pop by McDonalds to buy her son lunch as opposed to packing a healthy lunchbox.

The Married At First Sight star took to Instagram on Thursday to vent about a recent incident that saw her criticised by another mum for packing an 'unhealthy' lunch for her son Boston (right) 'By the time it was lunch time, I thought, do you know what, there is a Maccas down the road.' The mum admitted that while it wasn't really a 'suitable' lunch for a sports day, she was feeling so sick that it felt like the best option. While Boston, whom she shares with her partner Eden Dally, didn't have the usual 'carrots or a cut-up cucumber', he had a warm meal. Cyrell then overheard a conversation between another kid and his mum, who threw shade at her takeaway meal. 'One kid close-by was saying like, 'ah yum I love nuggets, I had McDonald's the other day,' but the mum was like, "you aren't getting McDonald's today, you are at a sports carnival, you are not supposed to be eating that".' 'Dude, yes I admit it is a lazy lunch and I could probably have done better but you know what, I don't need you to tell me I am doing a s*** job,' she said in the clip. The mum-of-one then posted a snap of her son, along with the caption: 'Sooo to all the mums out there who feel like what your doing isn't enough, you do you.' 'Stop judging each others parenting, no one knows your child or your situation. 'Stop judging each others parenting, no one knows your child or your situation' 'Do what makes your family happy,' she added. Cyrell and her partner Eden welcomed Boston, their first child together, in February 2020. The couple met in March 2019 after Cyrell's 'marriage' to Nic Jovanovic on Married At First Sight ended when they decided they were better off as friends. Eden rose to fame on the first season of Love Island Australia in 2018

Michelle Keegan lands six-figure deal in first major job since having baby Palma
Just three months after giving birth to her first child with husband Mark Wright, Michelle Keegan has landed a huge deal worth six-figures, it has been reported Michelle Keegan has signed a six-figure advertising deal just three months after becoming a new mum. The former Coronation Street star has been embracing life as a first-time mum since welcoming baby Palma Elizabeth Wright into the world on March 6. Michelle and Mark Wright have been enjoying their time as new parents over the last three months. Fans have been given a glimpse into their first holiday abroad as a family of three last month as Michelle and Mark, both 38, headed to Spain with two-month-old Palma. Michelle revealed to her followers that Palma has been given the nickname Princess P, whilst confirming that it was their first holiday. She wrote in the caption of her post: "Princess P's first family holiday." But it seems it is back to business for Michelle who has just signed a deal to become the new face of Sky. She is set to film a series of promo clips — which will be shown around the globe — with fellow British actor, Luther star Idris Elba. She landed the deal after becoming a major player for Sky, with her comedy-drama Brassic one of the most popular series to air on the platform. A source told The Sun: 'Michelle has really been enjoying maternity leave with Palma, but she'll be back to work soon to film these new adverts for Sky. She has signed a six-figure deal for the job and is thrilled to have been chosen to appear alongside Idris, who has been their 'face'. 'Brassic is ending after the seventh series and Michelle is keen to still be a part of the Sky brand. Landing this ad is huge for Michelle, as she's fast becoming a brand in her own right. Everything she touches seems to turn to gold.' Michelle Keegan is now a household name after appearing in some of Britain's favourite TV shows including Our Girl and Coronation Street. However, the star went from working at a make-up counter when she finished school to a successful actress with what seems like a dream life. The Stockport star didn't have plans when she first left school and found herself working at Selfridges in the Trafford Centre on a make-up counter and at Manchester Airport as a check-in agent. But she seems to have found her feet when it comes to success in the wolrd of TV as she secured first acting appearance on Coronation Street when she was offered the role of Tina McIntyre after just her second audition as an actress. The talented actress beat 900 other people to the role on the soap and just two weeks later she stepped onto the cobbles and began her career. TV star Michelle Keegan may be earning mega money now but she will have to put in the overtime if she want to catch up with her husband Mark Wright. It was reported two years ago that Mark is now worth almost £14million as he continues to grow his incredible property empire. With an estimated combined net worth of around £20m, it's no wonder the pair splashed the cash on their dream home three years ago.

Aussie actor Teresa Palmer makes shock MeToo confession: 'I was taken advantage of'
Teresa Palmer has reflected on the moment she nearly quit acting after she was 'pressured' to hook up with her male co-star. The Aussie actress, 39, who made a name for herself in hit films such as The Choice and Hacksaw Ridge, revealed she was fired from a movie after experiencing her own MeToo moment. Speaking to Daily Telegraph, Teresa shed light on the darker side of Hollywood that saw her meet some really 'nefarious' people in the industry, people that pushed her to 'hook up' with actors on film projects to better their on-screen 'chemistry'. 'I had my own MeToo experience. I was taken advantage of,' she told the publication. The moment made her question her dream of being an actress and almost saw her turn her back on it for good. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The Aussie actress, 39, who made a name for herself in hit films such as The Choice and Hacksaw Ridge, revealed she was fired from a movie after experiencing her own MeToo moment 'I was 20, and I had just been fired off this job because I had refused to participate in some really coercive control stuff that was happening, and so I got fired,' she revealed. Soon after, Teresa returned to Adelaide, convincing herself that her dream was over and that it was time to settle into a job as a drama teacher. However, her agent Ann Churchill-Brown - who also represents Hollywood heavyweight Nicole Kidman - wouldn't let her give up. 'She was like, "Look – that was an awful experience, but I'm telling you, there are other experiences that you're gonna have that's just going to be the salve."' Teresa went on to star in many career-defining film roles, proving her agent right. Now, Teresa continues to make movies but gave up the hustle and bustle of the US for a happy, relaxed life in Byron Bay. She shares four biological kids with her husband Mark Webber, as well as a stepchild, and is currently expecting her fifth. Teresa recently showed off her baby bump at the premiere for her latest film project. She was absolutely glowing on Wednesday night as she promoted her new movie, Mix Tape, at Oxford Art Factory in Sydney alongside her husband Mark. The actress, who is 28 weeks pregnant, opted for a skin tight-dress in a black tone with glittering threading throughout. The long sleeved number clung to her blossoming belly and she added some patent heels to the look. Teresa chose a clean makeup look with a smoky eye and pink matte lipstick while wearing her blonde locks down in mermaid waves. Mark meanwhile matched his wife in an all black ensemble as he shared her red carpet moment.
