Booby Tape founder Bridgett Roccisano's savage revenge act following shock split from husband three months after their baby was born
The Booby Tape businesswoman, 34, has baptised her four-month-old daughter Elle in an intimate service in Italy.
The entrepreneur revealed she christened Elle at Basilica of St John Lateran in Rome surrounded by her immediate family.
However, Bridgett's ex husband Joshua was noticeably absent from the ceremony.
'We had the great honor of baptising our beautiful Elle in an intimate ceremony at the Pope's own cathedral, the magnificent Basilica of St. John Lateran,' she wrote.
'To welcome her into the faith in such a historic and sacred place was an unforgettable blessing that we will cherish forever.'
She also revealed Elle wore the same dress she and her sister Bianca wore on their baptism day.
'Seeing Elle wear this dress on her special day was such a beautiful and meaningful moment for us,' Bridgett said.
The Booby Tape businesswoman shocked Melbourne A-listers when she confirmed earlier this month news reports that she had separated from her partner after two years of marriage.
'I've always chosen to be open and honest with you all and with recent articles and speculation surrounding my marriage, I felt it was important to address this with you all,' she wrote.
'I am saddened to confirm I am going through a separation.
'This year has brought more change than I could have ever imagined. Becoming a mother has been the most profound and beautiful gift of my life.
'While I am devastated and disappointed the journey hasn't unfolded the way I envisioned, as family is everything to me, I've discovered a strength within myself that I never knew existed for both my daughter and I.
'Elle and I may be walking a different path now, but it's one filled with support and most importantly, stability and love.'

She concluded: 'While I wish I could share more about this extremely difficult time, I need to protect Elle, especially knowing my daughter may read this one day.
'I hope you can understand and respect our privacy during this incredibly challenging time.'
Days later, the businesswoman shared a heartfelt thank-you to her followers.
'I just wanted to take a moment as I wish I could respond to every message that has come through. To say thank you to everyone who has reached out to me during this incredibly difficult time,' she began.
'Your kind words, messages and support have meant more than I can put into words. It's truly been so incredibly overwhelming.
'Even in the hardest moments, knowing I'm not alone at a time where it's very easily felt has made all the difference.
'I'm so grateful to have such thoughtful, genuine and most importantly loving people around me.'
The shocking split came just months after Bridgett welcomed a baby girl in April.
The entrepreneur married Joshua in a fairytale wedding at St Patrick's Cathedral in East Melbourne in April 2023, a year and a half after he proposed in London.

Did Cristiano Ronaldo's fiancée Georgina Rodriguez debut a SECOND engagement ring?
Cristiano Ronaldo 's fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez, appeared to debut a second engagement ring in a new series of snaps posted on Instagram on Wednesday. The Argentine-Spanish model, 31, posed in a skimpy white Alo set, including tiny white shorts and a matching bra, while sporting a massive rock on her finger. But the ring appeared to be different than the massive 10-carat oval diamond that Ronaldo proposed with last week. Instead, it was a giant square-cut set on a silver band, raising the question, did he give her another rock? However, it doesn't appear to have been gifted to her by the sports star as she's previously been spotted wearing it in various Instagram pictures. The bling definitely rivaled her engagement ring, which she debuted last week, looking to be almost as many carats, if not larger. She showed the ring off in multiple photos, striking poses with confidence by the Red Sea shore, capturing a stunning sunset behind her. The couple announced they were set to wed after almost a decade together in an Instagram post on Monday evening. The Argentine-Spanish model, 31, posed in a skimpy white Alo set, including tiny white shorts and a matching bra, while sporting a massive rock on her finger Confirming their engagement, the model wrote: 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.' According to New York City gemologist and founder of The Clear Cut Olivia Landau, Rodriguez's oval ring is worth 'several million dollars.' 'It features an oval diamond estimated to be over 10 carats, possibly as large as 15 carats,' Landau told the Daily Mail at the time. 'It appears to be flanked by two smaller oval diamond side stones, each approximately 2–3 carats. The setting is platinum with double claw prongs on all four corners,' she continued. 'Depending on the quality, the ring and center diamond are likely worth several million dollars.' Ronaldo has been dating Rodriguez since 2017, after they met at the Gucci store where she was working as a sales assistant. That same year, they also announced that Rodriguez was pregnant with the soccer player's fourth child - a daughter named Alana Martina. Then, in 2021, they announced that they were expecting twins - but tragically, their baby boy passed away during birth. However, their daughter, Bella Esmeralda, survived. Now, after tackling parenthood together, it looks like a wedding is next up on the list for the couple. 'I didn't think at the beginning that [the relationship] would be this strong. That I would fall in love with her,' Ronaldo shared during the first episode of his soon-to-be-wife's Netflix reality series, I Am Georgina. 'I didn't expect it honestly. But after a while I felt that she was the woman of my life,' he said.

Katie Price brutally mocked by BGT's Francine Lewis as she reignites rivalry with cash counting video parody and plastic surgery jibe
Katie Price was brutally mocked by impressionist Francine Lewis on Wednesday when she reignited their rivalry on social media. The comedian, who rose to fame on Britain's Got Talent in 2013, parodied a cash-counting video which was released by the TV personality's ex Alex Reid this week, and ridiculed her plastic surgery. Former cage fighter Alex, 50, shared a clip on Instagram on Monday that showed Katie, 47, who at the time had been declared bankrupt, counting a wad of notes. In response to the clip, Francine tapped up her face and shielded her eyes with a pair of oversized sunglasses while counting money. Mocking Katie, said: 'So I've just got back from Turkey. Yes! I have had another facelift, oh God, I can't believed it!' Making reference to the model's boyfriend JJ Slater, she continued: 'JJ, I think my mum was right - I did go too tight this time. Oh well! What do you think? I love it!' Francine an Katie became friends in the 90s before their relationship became rocky when the impressionist began to mimic Katie on the stage. Daily Mail has contacted Katie's representative for comment. Earlier this week, Alex leaked a video showing Katie appearing to count wads of cash, and told his followers he's 'exposing the truth' about the model, whom he was married to between 2010 and 2012. A friend of Alex's told The Sun that he decided to post the video online after repeatedly seeing four seemingly innocent words in a series of statements shared by Katie's team last week. They went onto claim that Alex's work opportunities dried up in the wake of his split from Katie, and he's grown tired of seeing her flaunt a luxurious lifestyle while he lives 'month to month'. Last week, Katie hit back at her ex Peter Andre after he shared a statement accusing her of 'baseless lies' over the past 16 years. The statement in question said: 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. 'This was in the past, and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was.' Alex's friend said he was 'crushed' when he read the repeated phrase that is ex 'Katie was at peace.' The source went onto claim that Alex has grown increasingly frustrated with Katie since their 2011 split, after she took a string of public swipes at him, and particularly his cross-dressing alter-ego Roxanne. Alex also reportedly grew irate at seeing Katie show off a £1700 YSL handbag after jetting back from Turkey following yet another facelift, as well as a Van Cleef and Arpels necklace, which retails for £14,000. It's also alleged that Katie has not paid a penny of £175,000 in damages and legal costs Alex was awarded after he sued her for showing a sex tape of him on Big Brother spin-off show Bit On The Side without his consent. Daily Mail contacted representatives for Alex Reid and Katie Price for comment. The video Alex shared, which is believed to have been filmed in 2020, shows Katie saying she is 'enjoying counting' the wads of money in front of her during a conversation with her daughter Princess Andre. There is no suggestion that Katie didn't declare the cash. In the video she brags: 'There's loads here… I'm just sorting it out.' A representative for Katie Price told Daily Mail: 'This is a video that was shared with Katie's Trustee in Bankruptcy several months ago and Katie has fully complied with the Trustee's investigations into the same. 'The cash featured did not belong to Katie and the property referred to was dealt with in the financial settlement proceedings arising out of Katie's divorce from Peter Andre. 'Katie's Trustee in Bankruptcy is aware of the property and has undoubtedly investigated whether the same ought to be comprised in the bankruptcy estate.' A source close to Peter also said: 'Peter has seen the video and is totally disgusted, even more so because his young daughter has been involved in it.' His representatives added: 'Peter will be dealing with this with his lawyers.' Alongside the video, Alex said: 'For years, I've watched as stories — many false, exaggerated, or deliberately twisted — have been pushed out into the public. Fake news isn't just a headline, it destroys lives, reputations, and families. 'This has been years in the making. Countless hours of collaboration, gathering evidence, and finding the strength to finally stand up and say: enough is enough. 'I have stayed quiet long enough. Now is the time to speak. This isn't about gossip, this isn't about drama - this is about the truth. 'The announcement I'm about to make will challenge the false narratives and shine a light where it has been needed for far too long. The time for speculation is over. The truth is about to come out.'

Emotional Zoe Ball reveals how gardening helped her navigate grief after death of her boyfriend Billy Yates
Zoe Ball has opened up about how gardening helped her navigate grief after the death of her boyfriend Billy Yates. The BBC broadcaster, 54, sat down with her co-host Jo Whiley for an emotional chat during the latest episode of their podcast Dig It on Tuesday. The duo were discussing how gardening can help people through different struggles in life, when Zoe revealed it became a safe space to remember her late partner Billy, who passed away aged 40 in 2017. The cameraman took his own life after a long battle with depression, with Zoe revealing she'd been 'in shock for two years' following the loss. 'People bought roses for me when I lost Billy and Billy had tattoos up his arm of roses,' Zoe, who also lost her mother last year to cancer, recalled. 'When we lost him a lot of loved ones went and got the rose tattoo for him so people bought me roses to grow for him, which was such a lovely thing. 'And we've talked about, you know, lost loved ones and how wonderful it is when these plants come to life and you know they are always with you. The radio presenter continued: 'So that was where it started and I love that garden, it just became a place for me to take time at the end of the day and be able to breath in and breath out. 'And then you learn how wonderful is to grow something yourself. 'I realised how good it was for me and how much I loved it,' she added fondly. In May, Zoe paid tribute to Billy as she marked eight years since his tragic death. It has been a turbulent time for the radio host, who lost her mother in April last year following a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Following the death of her mother, Zoe decided to step away from her BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show to spend more time with her family. Zoe also took time away from her show, which was the Saturday afternoon slot at the time, when Billy passed away. Alongside a picture of Billy on his motorbike wearing a pair of shades, she wrote at the time: '8 years forever in our hearts Billface #mateswithyates.' Zoe's 15-year-old daughter Nelly replied in the comments she 'missed him every day', while also sharing her own tribute online. Nelly posted a picture of Billy on her Instagram Story and wrote: '8 years'. Zoe received supportive messages from other friends, including presenter Gaby Roslin who shared a white heart underneath the post. Other comments said 'big love' and 'much love' as friends sent well wishes to the star. Last year to commemorate the occasion, Zoe shared a selfie of Billy and wrote: '7 years. Kisses in the sky.' In an emotional interview on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs in February 2020, Zoe spoke of Billy's death and the grief she endured after he took his own life. Zoe discussed the cameraman's struggle with mental health and revealed that Billy lived with depression for most of his life. Speaking to Discs host Lauren Laverne about the ordeal, she explained she watched him suffer with mental health and has encouraged anyone else struggling to reach out for help. Zoe said: 'I think it's so isolating to be trapped in your mind like that, when you doubt yourself, you doubt everything you've ever known. You doubt your family love you. You doubt your friends care for you.' But she insisted there is always help available and that 'it's important to share there is hope.' Zoe remembered the man she loved and said 'he was so full of love and would help anyone in need', and insisted he should be 'remembered for his life, not his death,' Speaking of the song Do I Love You by Frank Wilson, which she dedicated to Billy, Zoe said: 'This track will always remind me of him. He loved to dance and loved to laugh and he brought so much into my life. She added: ' I wanted to play a piece of music for him that reflected him as a human.'
