Channel Seven star Erin Holland gives shattering update on her long battle to have a baby with Aussie cricketer
Channel Seven star Erin Holland has provided her social media followers with a heartbreaking update about her ongoing fertility battle. The presenter, 36, hoped to start a family with her Australian cricketer husband Ben Cutting following their 2021 wedding – only to discover IVF was their best option to have a baby. Taking to Instagram this week, the former Miss World Australia confirmed they are still at square one despite four years of trying. 'Here we go again,' she wrote with an accompanying photo from a hospital. 'I'm (now) breaking up the highlights reel with some real talk. 'Many losses, many failed transfers down, today was all about exploratory surgery, internal 'renovations' and starting testing from scratch again to try and find some answers to the soul-destroying unknown. Taking to Instagram this week, the former Miss World Australia confirmed nothing has changed after four years of trying 'What's the missing piece of the puzzle? Injections, steroids, so many drugs... it's far more emotionally and physically draining than we ever bargained for.' Holland's emotional post also included a picture of several vials in a bathroom. 'Infertility feels like your face is pressed up against the glass of a club you so badly want to be a part of, but no one is letting you in,' she added. Among those to support Holland publicly included Nadia Bartel, Home and Away star Ada Nicodemou and fellow cricket presenter Grace Hayden. Holland also previously stated she 'let Ben down' after failing to fall pregnant and her 'sense of failure is overwhelming'. In recent years, Holland has been a regular on Seven's cricket coverage, including the men's and women's Big Bash tournaments. After hanging up his cricket spikes, Cutting has turned his attention to the property market, securing a role as an agent with U Real Estate in Brisbane. 'It definitely has the highs and lows like cricket does,' he told 'I've been doing everything from cold calling, to door knocking to letter box drops.

Inside the secret toxic rift tearing apart the cast of Made In Chelsea with stars at loggerheads in a row over money
AMID the genteel streets of smart West London, deep unrest is brewing. Two years after the explosive row that tore apart two of Made In Chelsea 's biggest stars, another row has kicked off, I can reveal. 8 8 8 Once again, man-of-the-moment Jamie Laing lies at the heart of it, this time alongside his pregnant wife, Sophie Habboo. For the duo stand accused of "snaking" their one-time castmates and "hijacking" a money-spinning deal with Disney+. Six weeks ago the giant American streamer breathlessly announced the couple's new docuseries, charting their "no holds barred whirlwind journey" to parenthood. Certainly it has been a whirlwind journey for the popular pair's ex-colleagues, Louise Thompson, Millie Mackintosh, Hugo Taylor and Ryan Libby who, just weeks previously, had thought they, too, were in on the deal. Indeed, according to a source, they had already started filming the project. Instead, they've been brutally culled from the planned series featuring the three couples and their glamorous showbusiness lives. They are, it is fair to suggest, furious. A disgruntled pal tells me: "They had all been signed to the top secret Disney project, and then Jamie snaked them, is what we're being told... "They had all signed up, and even started filming on the project, with Disney keen to build on its reality TV collection. "But then Jamie and Habs got pregnant. Disney agreed the focus should be on them alone because their podcast is going great guns, they've been given a Radio 1 show and Jamie's ultra marathon efforts endeared him to the nation. Jamie Laing turns pop star as he releases new track to help wake the nation "The other four were cut out, and left high and dry. "Beyond that, they had turned down filming for Beyond Chelsea (the spin-off MIC show) so have actively lost additional money as well as, obviously, the original six-figure deal. "They're absolutely livid and feel they've been snaked. There is huge animosity and it is all incredibly awkward - not least because Chelsea isn't a huge place so they are bound to bump into one another in bars and shops. It's pretty explosive." 'LEFT HIGH AND DRY' News of this latest drama follows the feud between Jamie, 36, and his erstwhile best mate, Spencer Matthews. The reality stars have been friends since they were aged 15, and at school together. In 2023 Jamie - heir to the McVitie's fortune - failed to invite Spencer and wife Vogue Williams to the London part of the wedding. The previous year only Spencer had attended their Spanish nuptials where lurid rumours spread about goings-on with Kate Moss 's little sister, Lottie: claims Spencer vehemently denies. The model later admitted she 'partied' with Spencer, 37, but has denied hooking up with him after videos alleging it were viewed on social media platform TikTok over 111 million times. Whatever the truth - and there is no suggestion of any impropriety - relations have decidedly thawed in the interim and Spencer unfollowed his best mate on Instagram. 8 8 8 In March Jamie ran more than 150 miles across five days for Comic Relief, raising an astonishing £2.2m for the charity. Whilst he collapsed into his loving wife's arms at the end of the ordeal, Spencer was conspicuous by his absence and failed to acknowledge the feat publicly. Pregnant Sophie, 30, and her presenter husband, announced the happy news of their pregnancy in June, and revealed their hugely successful Newlyweds Podcast will be renamed Nearly Parents. Three weeks later, Disney+ announced their new show, Jamie and Sophie: Raising Chelsea, alongside details of The Rooneys fly-on-the-wall show and their re-boot of Blind Date. In a press release, the excited couple gushed: 'For nearly a decade, we've brought audiences along the highs and lows of our personal and professional lives through TV, radio, social media and our podcasts. "It's such an honour to now partner with the incredible teams at Disney+ and Dorothy St Pictures to bring our next chapter to viewers across the globe. Navigating our lives with a baby on the way has opened up a whole new stage of our relationship – we can't wait to give you a front row seat!' A spokesperson for the couple declined to comment. Last night a spokesman for Disney+ declined to comment. 8 8
