I survived cancer then my parents were both diagnosed with it too and my marriage fell apart. So at age 48 I did the unthinkable: KATIE NICHOLL
Moving back in with my parents earlier this year, at the age of 48, was never part of my master plan but, as I've learned, not everything in life goes to schedule.

has shared a relaxed bikini snap as she revealed her daughters grab at her stomach. The former Made In Chelsea, 36, has been enjoying a sun-soaked family holiday with her husband Hugo Taylor and their daughters Sienna, five, and Aurelia, three. Millie took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a look at the reality of holidaying as a family. She shared a candid snap of herself sitting down in a skimpy red patterned bikini, as she opened up about 'extra skin' after giving birth. 'The girls love to grab my tummy and the stretched skin,' she captioned the picture. 'I remind them that my tummy grew them and it still remembers having them inside.' Elsewhere Millie was seen enjoying a day on the beach with her daughters as she displayed her incredible figure in another vibrant two-piece. She captioned the post: 'Holiday realities. Feeling rested after a special week with the girls and Hugo, but wanted to share some of the realities that you might not always see…I'm sure lots of you can relate.' Millie opened up about how she found a balance between parenting and finding time for herself during the trip. 'Prioritising my mental health meant getting up early before the kids woke up to do a meditation and workout,' she wrote over her beach snap. Meanwhile she also shared a picture of husband Hugo and her youngest daughter Aurelia sat at dinner. She wrote: 'We started the week away with no iPads at in order to have an actual adult conversation we did end up using them!' Millie added: 'We planned for the girls to go to a kids bbq in the evening so we could have a meal just the two of us but they kicked up a fuss so we had all our meals together.' Elsewhere Millie shared a dinner time snap with her daughters as she revealed how she kept the peace. 'Creating a routine that we stuck to most days worked well for us and the girls had less tantrums,' she wrote. Millie added: 'We planned for the girls to go to a kids bbq in the evening so we could have a meal just the two of us but they kicked up a fuss so we had all our meals together' It came one day after Millie took to Instagram on Monday to share a video of all the outfits she wore on her lavish trip. Millie flashed her toned abs in a cream button-up bikini which she paired with a matching headscarf before throwing over a multicoloured patterned kaftan. In another outfit, Millie opted for a different two-piece, which featured a striking red, orange and pink striped bandeau bikini top and matching longline sarong. She also stepped out in a chic cream crochet triangle bikini top, which she again wore with a matching sarong. Other outfits included a see-through cream lace beach dress, as well as a chic blue and white striped shirt and shorts co-ord.

Who are Gabby Logan's children? Meet jockey Lois and rugby player Reuben
GABBY Logan is a familiar face on the tele for sports fans and is the new host of Match of the Day. But while Gabby is not probing pundits on the side of the pitch, she is a busy mum of two wildly successful kids. 6 Gabby is married to former Scotland rugby international winger Kenny Logan. The pair met in 1999 when Kenny spotted Gabby after recognising her from the TV, and introduced himself. Gabby, who was 25 at the time, had been out celebrating a friend's birthday, but ended up spending the rest of the night with Kenny. The couple tied the knot in 2001. 6 Who are Gabby Logan's children? After being married for four years, the pair went on to have twins. Lois and Reuben were born on July 28 2005. The kids were raised in Buckinghamshire, where they moved to over a decade ago. The Match of the Day presenter's children stayed relatively out of the public eye for many years, only featuring on social media on special occasions. However, in more recent years, fans of the family have been able to get to know the younger generation as they appear on podcasts, social media and have also carved out their own careers. As the children of the nation's leading broadcaster (and former international gymnast) and a 70-cap international rugby player, it's no surprise that sport plays a major role in their lives. Match of the Day host Gabby Logan cheers on jockey daughter, Lois, as she makes racing debut at Goodwood But who are the not-so-little Logans? Lois Logan Lois in a recent interview on her mother's Mid Point podcast, was described as the more empathetic and organised of the two siblings. Having moved to Buckinghamshire as a child, Lois recently shared how their mother encouraged them to find a hobby in order to meet new people. 6 The 20-year-old described how she took up horse riding, and has not looked back. The Logan daughter has taken a more traditional route in comparison to her brother. After finishing school, she embarked on a Geography degree at Loughborough University. But horse riding has stayed very much in the student's focus, and she has now started competing at major events. Lois is a showjumper by training, but recently pivoted her focus to jockeying, competing in her debut race in the Markel Magnolia Cup at Goodwood Racecourse in Chichester. 6 The charity event, which has raised more than £2.7m since its inception in 2011, was a hard-fought race, which saw Lois unplaced to the victor Sophie Forsyth. Reuben Logan The 6ft4 twin, Reuben Logan, has followed in his father's footsteps, taking on a career as a professional rugby player. Having played at Shiplake College and Berkhamsted School, Reuben was scouted to be in the Wasp Academy. 6 However, when the former Premiership Club folded, Reuben was without a team, putting his professional hopes at risk. Fortunately, the 2023/24 Gallagher Premiership champions Northampton Saints swooped up the young back rower and brought him into their development squad. He moved into a house in Northampton with other academy players, including rugby's latest star player and current British & Irish Lion Henry Pollock. From there, Reuben's career blossomed, as he was selected at U20s level for England, but later switched allegiances to play for his father's nation, Scotland, instead. 6 Despite the overall result in which Scotland lost four out of five games, Reuben had a successful U20s Six Nations campaign, starting in all five. His performances for Northampton in the Premiership Rugby Cup and Scotland clearly impressed, as he was recently announced, somewhat prematurely by his mother in a Telegraph interview, that he would be moving to Manchester to play for Gallagher Premiership club Sale Sharks.
