Nicola Adams shares tough reason for split and opens up on co-parenting
Olympic gold medalist Nicola Adams has admitted that her ex-girlfriend Ella Baig's career on an adult website put a strain on their relationship as she opens up on 'difficult' break-up and co-parenting their son.
42-year-old Nicola, who was the first British woman to clinch Olympic gold in the ring at the 2012 Olympics, parted ways with 27-year-old Ella at the beginning of the year after seven years together. Their relationship came under strain due to the nature of Ella's OnlyFans career.
The couple began dating in 2018 after meeting each other on a night out and hitting it off. After a few years of dating, they decided they wanted to have children and opted to use fertility treatments.
Ella went on to give birth to their son Taylor in July 2022 via caesarean section. It comes after Princess Andre says she's 'independent' from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row.
Since their split this year, Nicola has admitted that Ella's career on OnlyFans did in fact have an impact on their relationship.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the boxer said: 'I have always been incredibly supportive of Ella's career and the choices she has made, including her work on OnlyFans. However, as much as I respect what she does, I can't deny that it has had an impact on our relationship.'
She also revealed that it is difficult going through a breakup in the public eye, but they are doing well at navigating co-parenting.
She added: 'Co-parenting has been really good, because our son's always at the top of it. It's always difficult doing breakups, especially when you're in the public eye - and it's not something that you always you want to be public. But I guess once you've been [in the public eye] it always ends up being that way... but we've navigated that quite well.'
She added: 'I've always believed in handling things with respect and maturity, and we shared a lot of good memories together, and I'll always be grateful for the good times. And I guess the main thing is our son now, and we see ourselves as, like, pretty good co-parents. I think... I feel like we've got good co-parenting girls here. I'm just happy that he's happy, and it hasn't really affected him that much.'
It follows after Nicola lifted the lid on her new career move after she revealed that she has been taking acting lessons and is now set to make her acting debut in a film next year.
Nicola is set to star in The Gun on Second Street alongside Poppy Delevigne and Bruce Willis' daughter Rumer. Alongside her upcoming film, Nicola is also starring in a BBC children's show titled High Hoops, which is due for release in November.

Great British pentathlete to study astrophysics while pursuing Olympics dream
A Great British pentathlete is to study astrophysics at university while aiming to compete in the Olympic Games, having achieved high A-level grades. Sebastian Forrest, 18, from Gloucestershire, studied at Millfield School and is celebrating his results – an A* in Maths, A in Physics (Engineering), and B grades in Further Maths and Chemistry. He will now go on to study astrophysics at the University of Bath while aiming to participate in the Olympic Games in Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032. Millfield School said Seb was the youngest elite modern pentathlete on the world-class programme, gaining UK Sport funding, at the age of 17. The athlete has also represented Team GB in international appearances, competing in U17, U19, Junior and Senior events. Seb earned multiple podium finishes, including winning gold at the 2024 European Cup in Barcelona. His performance there led to his selection to represent Great Britain at competitions including the Senior Hungarian Open, U19 European Championships, U19 World Championships in Lithuania, and the Junior U22 World Championships in Hungary. Speaking of his decision to attend Millfield for sixth form, he said: 'I joined Millfield because having everything on campus made training and studying much easier. 'With dedicated sport specialist coaches for each discipline, I knew I was in the perfect environment to succeed.' Seb is passionate about maths and physics, with his interest in space leading him to pursue an astrophysics degree. Alongside his studies, he will continue to compete at elite level in modern pentathlon. Antonia Cord, head of modern pentathlon at Millfield, said: 'We are incredibly proud of Seb and all he has achieved. 'His work ethic and commitment to both sport and academics are remarkable. 'He genuinely enjoys the challenge of balancing both, and that's what makes him stand out. We look forward to seeing him continue his journey in modern pentathlon beyond Millfield and wish him every success in the future.'

Strictly Come Dancing 2025 cast: BBC decision has ruined it
Strictly Come Dancing has just ruined series 23 for me with its latest casting decision 😣 Sign up to our Arts and Culture newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Strictly Come Dancing has announced its 10th celebrity. After a strong start, the decision has tanked the season for me. This is why the latest announcement has left a bitter taste in my mouth. Strictly Come Dancing has started to reveal the celebrities who will be taking part in this year's edition. It began with a bang as Nitro from Gladiators and Dr. River Song were unveiled as participants. However, it has now taken a turn that has left a bitter taste in my mouth with the 10th announcement of the season. Former The Apprentice star, businessman and social media influencer Thomas Skinner has joined the cast. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It might sound like a perfectly adequate addition and one that feels like it should have happened years ago. But for me, personally, it has ruined what enthusiasm I had for the show. BBC has just ruined Strictly Come Dancing with latest cast decision Thomas Skinner has joined the cast of Strictly Come Dancing | BBC I quite liked Thomas Skinner during his time on The Apprentice, he had buckets of charm and came across really well. His appearance on Celebrity MasterChef created one of the all-time great reaction gifs. If he had simply faded into the background, perhaps popping up on a TV show or another from time to time, he would have remained a fond figure in my memory. Unfortunately, that is not what has happened. He has become an increasingly loud and polarising figure on social media. If you have spent any time on X (formerly Twitter) in recent months, you have likely come across posts from the BOSH man (although Big John might have a stronger claim to that title). Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Mixed in with posts about his family, business and favourite cafe, Skinner has dabbled in politics. For example, earlier this year he wrote: 'I don't think there is many in government you can trust in my opinion. It's all smoke and mirrors. Lies & corruption. This country needs to be run by the people, for the people.' Websites like The Telegraph, New Statesman and The Spectator have hailed him as one of the most important voices on the right. He has used terms like 'the woke brigade' to decry the 'death' of the English fry-up and pints on a Friday night. Skinner appeared on a Spectator video with former Reform MP Rupert Lowe titled 'How to Save England' in July. It is a pernicious idea that our country needs 'saving' at all. Skinner has also played into the growing right-wing narrative of the UK being 'unsafe' in his social media posts, once claiming his mates had 'no choice' but to flee to Dubai because of how 'lawless' the country has become. I'm sure the tax incentives played no part in those decisions. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad He was quick to express his support for US President Donald Trump, after he was re-elected in November. The Daily Mirror reports that he blasted Foreign Secretary David Lammy for criticising Trump. He wrote: 'I love Trump, I think he is brilliant, that's my opinion. I think it's good he is back in charge, it will be good for the UK economy.' Just this week he posted about meeting with the Vice President of the US, JD Vance. He wrote: 'Here is a pic of Me and Vice President @JDVance towards the end of the night after a few beers🍻 I'm overdressed in my suit, but when the VP invites you to a BBQ, you don't risk turning up in shorts an flip-flops😂 Cracking night in the beautiful English countryside with JD, his friends and family. Once in a lifetime. Bosh.' It comes in the same week that Donald Trump called in the National Guard on the capital city of Washington D.C. and ICE continues to round up people for deportation. Same-sex marriage is also at risk of being overturned, with the Supreme Court formally asked to overturn it this week. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Have we learned nothing from allowing Nigel Farage on I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here? Making figures who dabble in the far-right (or are overtly in the case of Farage) seem 'reasonable' is a massive mistake. Thomas Skinner might not be an MP for Reform or a politician per se, but he has been dabbling in right-wing talking points more frequently. Giving him a spot on prime-time TV could lead more people towards his social media platforms, potentially letting them be sucked in by the narratives spun around how 'unsafe' our country is. After the first spate of announcements, I was excited - especially once La Voix was confirmed. But personally, the addition of Skinner has ruined it for me and left a bitter taste in my mouth. Social media reacts to Thomas Skinner's Strictly reveal I am not alone in my disappointment in the decision to cast Thomas Skinner. Many took to social media to express their concern after he was announced for series 23. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad One wrote: 'Well this has killed my mood after the excitement of La Voix.' Another added: 'First voted out I beg, what a disappointment.' A person joked: 'Who's next? Ghislaine Maxwell?' Another concerned user added: 'Farage next year?' One user on social media wrote: 'It's August, we don't play April fools.' Another echoed: 'Is this a joke?' In a salient point, a person said: 'Thought they didn't want political figures on the show.' And another echoed: 'The BBC and ITV's obsession with platforming right-wing grifters (never left wing) plays a major role in the current political landscape. They know exactly what they're doing.'

‘Ask me to seduce your boyfriend!' Model spills secrets as a ‘honeytrap for hire' who women get to test partner loyalty
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A GLAMOROUS honeytrap model hired by anxious girlfriends to test if their partners are truly loyal has revealed her tricks of the trade. Dubbing herself the "ultimate temptation", Lana Madison helps women catch cheating boyfriends by flirting with them to see if they'll make a move. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Lana Madison is a 'honeytrap for hire', seducing boyfriends to see if they'll cheat Credit: Jam Press/@onlylanamadison 7 The model has made hundreds of thousands of dollars from modelling online Credit: Jam Press/@onlylanamadison 7 The model charges $5,000 for her honeytrap services Credit: Jam Press/@onlylanamadison With over 76,000 followers on social media, girlfriends are lining up to hire Lana - desperate for the peace of mind that her services can provide. Lana, 29, said: "They slide into my inbox and ask me to flirt with their boyfriend to find out if he'll cheat." She added: "Spoiler alert – a lot of them will. I didn't plan to become a real-life honey trap. "But once a few girls online saw what I look like and what I do for work, they realised that I'm the ultimate temptation." Lana made $150,000 from men via online donations - cash she used to pay for her jaw-dropping figure. The so-called "honeytrap for hire" said: "If your man resists my advances, he's solid – and if not, well, then you've got your answer. "I'm not out here ruining relationships – I'm just giving women the receipts." Lana, who charges women $5,00 a pop to deploy the all-or-nothing test, said she doesn't advertise her secret job - but it has spread like wildfire through word of mouth. Test results can sometimes be provided to women within just hours of firing off the first risqué text. She revealed: "Sometimes all it takes is one selfie and a flirty emoji. I made £100k in just ONE month on OnlyFans - I thought my family would disapprove, but their next move left me stunned "I've had guys try to meet up the same night. It's honestly shocking how fast they fold." She even told how one client later broke down in tears after seeing her boyfriend's gobsmacking texts. "I knew it, I just needed proof," she told Madison. Despite the tears, Lana touted her services as an honest way of giving women sound minds rather than them "living in the dark". Lana follows her own rule-book too - drawing the line at in-person meetups, and also making sure each girl knows exactly what she'll write before she hits send. 7 Girls are rushing to pay for her services Credit: Jam Press/@onlylanamadison 7 She left one client in tears Credit: Jam Press/@onlylanamadison She said: "It's wild how many men don't even hesitate to give in to temptation. "I don't reach out to anyone on my own. These women come to me and honestly, I get it – I'd want to know too." She also said: "Some girls tell me, 'If he cheats on me with you, at least I know he has taste' – which is kind of sweet in a roundabout way. "Others will thank me for saving them from wasting years of their lives with a love rat." Lana, who was raised in a Catholic household in Texas, said that her life is almost unrecognisable from her teenage years. She said: "I was awkward, quiet and ignored - I used to walk through school hoping no one would notice me. 'Now I get paid to be the girl no one can stop looking at - it's a full-circle moment. 'If being hot pays the bills, then I'm cashing every cheque." 7 She is originally from Texas Credit: Jam Press/@onlylanamadison 7 Lana told her secrets Credit: Jam Press/@onlylanamadison
