Pixie Lott reveals due date of second child
Speaking exclusively to The Voice Kids favourite, 34, who is seven months pregnant, made the admission while speaking to The Sun after a gig at the Kendal Calling festival, at which her model husband Oliver and their son Bertie, 23 months, supported her from the side of the stage.
She said: 'I think the last gig (I will play this year – Flackstock on 8 August 8) is going to be four weeks before the due date. So yeah, I think it's going to be fine.'
Pixie also explained she had been cleared by her doctor to continue performing 'for as long as it feels good'.
She added: 'I did it last time and I've checked with the doc and he said that it's fine to keep doing it as long as you feel good.
'So hopefully, I mean that last show, four weeks, I don't know how long… woo!'
Pixie, who released her top 10 album Encino last year, described how her life on the road is now shaped by parenting alongside performing.
She said: 'It's more tiring being pregnant, waking up early and running around after him than the shows. 'Because with the shows I get like an adrenaline that takes over so I don't even think about it. The tiring bit is the running around after the toilet fight.'
She added her boy Bertie enjoys festivals and is now happy to wear ear defenders to protect his hearing.
Pixie also discussed her forthcoming music, including a new single Coming of Age, due for release on 21 August, and a 'heartfelt' Christmas song written with a friend.
She said: 'Every song that I'm going to be putting out is just going to be about my state of life now, so like having a family, and we're expecting our second, we've moved house, and just like this state of life.
'I think a lot of people are able to relate, hopefully, because we're all going through the same kind of changes, and I just want it to be as real as possible.'
Having been in the music industry for 18 years, Pixie also spoke about enjoying the independence her success has brought.
She added: 'At the start you've got no clue, you're 18. So in a way it feels changed to be at the stage where I know what I want to do more clearly.'
Pixie also praised emerging female artists such as Lola Young, Skye Newman and Sienna Spiro.
She was a mentor on ITV's The Voice Kids for seven series until it was put on hiatus in 2023, and said about the experience: 'I absolutely loved doing it. We did seven seasons, and they said it's taking a rest, so I don't know when the rest is up.
'I would love to (return.)
'Bertie was in my belly for the last season but he wasn't actually here. He would absolutely love it. We should definitely bring it back.'

Mariah Carey 'well and truly outranked' by London hotel guest
Mariah Carey was "very much the support act" during her recent stay at a London hotel. The 56-year-old pop star stayed in an upmarket hotel in Central London - but Mariah's presence was overshadowed by another guest, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Zelensky's entourage made Mariah look tiny by comparison. "She was well and truly outranked on the luxury ladder. "Mariah is used to being number one wherever she goes – but this time, she was very much the support act." The Ukrainian President was "given the royal treatment" during his stay at the plush hotel. The insider said: "Zelensky's security detail made it clear this wasn't your average celebrity check-in and he was given the royal treatment during his stay." Meanwhile, Mariah previously confessed to being "high-maintenance". The chart-topping star thinks she's actually earned the right to be "high-maintenance", having already been through, and achieved, so much in her life. Asked if she thinks she's high-maintenance, Mariah told the Guardian newspaper: "You know what? I don't give a s***. "I f****** am high-maintenance because I deserve to be at this point. That may sound arrogant, but I hope you frame it within the context of coming from nothing. "If I can't be high-maintenance after working my a** off my entire life, oh, I'm sorry – I didn't realise we all had to be low-maintenance. Hell, no! I was always high-maintenance, it's just I didn't have anyone to do the maintenance when I was growing up!" Mariah doesn't have any qualms with being called a "diva" either. The pop star insists she doesn't worry about what people are saying about her. Mariah - who is one of the best-selling artists of all time - said: "Who the f*** cares? "Honestly! 'Oh my God, they're calling me a diva – I think I'm going to cry!' You think in the grand scheme of things in my life that really matters to me, being called a diva? I am, b******, that's right!"

Chris Columbus: Home Alone reboot would be a 'mistake'
Chris Columbus thinks it would be a "mistake" to reboot Home Alone. The 66-year-old filmmaker directed the 1990 Christmas classic and its 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York - which were both written by John Hughes and starred Macaulay Culkin - and he believes it would be impossible to capture the magic of the films so far into the future. He told Entertainment Tonight: 'I think Home Alone really exists as, not at this timepiece, but it was this very special moment, and you can't really recapture that. I think it's a mistake to try to go back and recapture something we did 35 years ago. "I think it should be left alone.' His comment came after Macaulay recently teased potentially reprising his role as Kevin McCallister if the salary was right. But he said during a screening of the film and a Q+A session: 'I have ideas, but I don't have time to write anything with my two children." Following the first two movies, the Home Alone franchise continued with Home Alone 3 (1997), Home Alone 4 (2002), Home Alone: The Holiday Heist (2012) and Home Sweet Home Alone (2021), but with other child actors at the forefront. And in 2018, Ryan Reynolds was attached to produce an R-rated reboot for Fox titled Stoned Alone, but the project has not progressed. Meanwhile, Chris previously admitted he wished he could erase US President Donald Trump's cameo from Home Alone 2: Lose in New York, branding his appearance a "curse". In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, he declared: 'I just wish it was gone. 'If I cut it, I'll probably be sent out of the country. I'll be considered sort of not fit to live in the United States, so I'll have to go back to Italy or something.' The seven-second appearance by Trump came when Macaulay's character checked into the Plaza Hotel and asked a man in the lobby for directions, seemingly oblivious to the fact it was the then-owner of the facility. Trump gave a simple reply and walked off screen. In a 2020 interview with Business Insider, Chris said the future president 'bullied his way into the movie' after only allowing filming to take place at the hotel if he could have a cameo role. He said: 'We paid the fee, but he also said, 'The only way you can use the Plaza is if I'm in the movie'.' However, Trump later claimed Chris had 'begged' him to be in the movie. He wrote on his Truth Social platform: 'I was very busy, and didn't want to do it. He added: 'They were very nice, but above all, persistent. I agreed, and the rest is history! That little cameo took off like a rocket… now, however, 30 years later, Columbus (what was his real name?) put out a statement that I bullied myself into the movie. Nothing could be further from the truth.'

'Go on that one day, bub': Cait's leap of faith for late dad on The Voice
Guitar-slinging singer Cait Jamieson adds a country flavour to Richard Marx's hit song Right Here Waiting when she appears on Sunday night's blind auditions episode of The Voice Australia. The 19-year-old insists she selected the song before knowing the chart-topping 1980s pop star was going to be a coach on the show's 14th season. "I think it was just a beautiful song. And then I found out he was a coach; the pressure was on," Ms Jamieson said. "It's always very nerve-wracking singing someone's song in front of them, because there's obviously no one who can top the original. So I just wanted to do it as much justice as I could."

"I used to love watching The Voice Kids with my family. I always wanted to go on that, but I never did," she said. "Dad would always say, 'Oh, you should go on that one day, bub." So I took a leap of faith and thought I might just give it a go, and somehow I ended up on the big stage."

"It always felt normal growing up, I didn't realise that not every young kid would tour around for eight months at a time and go to all the different states and do shows every single night and then drive 10 hours the next day," she said. "It's definitely always been something that I wanted to do; there's no doubt about it." One of Ms Jamieson's fondest childhood memories was being beside the stage for one of her father's performances. "I'd be right next to the stage where Mum and Dad could see me. And I used to crawl into his guitar case and fall asleep, and I would have this big Australian flag that I put over myself as a blanket," she said.
