Who is Ms Rachel?
SHE'S arguably the most famous person on kids' TV at the moment, and has just had a whole line of toys and booked released for her fans.
But just where did Ms Rachel come from, and how did she find fame?
Ms Rachel's real name is Rachel Griffin Accurso, and she worked as a music teacher in a public pre-school in New York before starting her YouTube channel.
The Songs for Littles channel was created after she discovered there were barely any resources for her son, who had a speech delay.
The tunes, made up from classic children's songs and nursery rhymes, with a twist, were composed by Rachel and her husband - Broadway composer Aron Accurso.
She also started on TikTok, where she acquired over two and a half million followers by March 2023.
She has also faced her fair share of controversy, such as when she offered to sell Cameo videos to raise money for Save the Children - mentioning the Gaza Strip, Sudan, Ukraine, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Rachel said she was "bullied online" for the move, and has since disabled comments on some of her Instagram, TikTok and YouTube posts.
The highly-anticipated Ms Rachel toys were released in September, and are expected to be one of the biggest sellers this Christmas.
To which she replied: "Just once!"
"What juju did Ms Rachel activate to get all these kids hypnotised into action???" another questioned.
With someone else replying: "I'm not a mum but let me tell you... I had my baby nephew while my brother and wife was out of the country and Ms Rachel saved my life!"

We went on what we thought was a normal cruise but were surrounded by swingers trying to have sex with us, it was awful

A WOMAN who thought she was going on a romantic cruise with her partner was left stunned after she realised what was really going on. Robyn-Jay was looking forward to her 10-day cruise, but that excitement quickly faded when she realised many of the holiday makers were swingers. 2 Robyn-Jay and her partner, William, were approached by swingers on the trip Credit: 2 Robyn-Jay said she would never go on a cruise again after her experience Credit: Taking to That's when things began to take a turn and as they decided to sit in a booth and people watch when a man came up to them to ask if they "wanted a third", Robyn-Jay claimed. But the strange encounters didn't end there, as on the second night Robyn-Jay claimed a woman called their room and tried to hook up with the couple, despite having never met them before. According to Robyn-Jay, the woman needed to know their room number, which they didn't share, to be able to call, which made the couple feel uneasy. READ MORE ON CRUISES The pair said they could also hear couples from other rooms on the ship shouting at each other from their balconies. "It's not that they were friends, they were trying to arrange hook ups," she said in the viral video. But it was what allegedly happened next that drew the line for the holidaymaker. She explained that one night she got all dressed up to enjoy some of the entertainment the cruise put on. Most read in Fabulous After finding a quiet place to sit with her partner, Robyn-Jay claimed she noticed a man sat at another tabled was staring at her. "This was something different, this was a whole other level. I felt so uncomfortable in my skin, it really gives you that horrible feeling inside," she said.

She went on to explain that her partner, William, soon noticed and called the man out on his behaviour before he got up and left with his wife. The holidaymaker went on to claim that she even saw an older man act inappropriately towards a young girl on the ship and he was overly touchy with her. "I just really think [cruises are] a place for a bit of lawlessness and I think people go there knowing that and I honestly dread to think what goes on in the eyes of other people," she said. After sharing her experience, people chimed in to share their experiences on cruise ships, and many thought Robyn-Jay got unlucky. "I've just been on a Marella Cruise and never experienced anything like this," one person said. And a second agreed: "Been on a few cruises - not my experience," they commented on the video. "This could have happened absolutely anywhere, it's not because you were on a cruise. It's also completely common knowledge that cruises are swinger's paradise," someone else wrote. And someone who claimed to work for a cruise company added: "This is a well known thing on some cruise ships. "Unfortunately you have experienced some awful behaviour and some people should understand that not everyone's a swinger. Not all cruise lines behave like this." Pros and cons of going on a cruise ship Whether you're considering a long holiday, working remotely or even living on board a cruise ship for a few months or years, here are the pros and cons from a former cruise shipper. Pros Travel the world, learn and experience new cultures Meet new people Don't have to think or worry about room cleaning, or food Cons Internet connection can be painfully slow and expensive Limited luggage allowance so have to wear the same clothes on rotation Having no control of where the ship would go next and the possibility of visiting the same ports Having the same onboard entertainment, on-demand movies, and little choice of TV channels No fresh newspapers or new books unless someone adds them to the library Relatively the same food week after week unless major menu changes occur seasonally. Occasional rough seas, bad weather and viral outbreaks while inboard.

Move over Labubu!—TikTok falls in love with Ireland's answer to viral craze

Move over, Labubu—there's a new tiny obsession in town, and it bleats. A U.S. influencer's video has gone viral after they stumbled across a hand-knitted sheep bag charm in a small Irish souvenir shop, promptly christening it the 'La Ba Ba.' In the clip, which has racked up tens of thousands of views TikTok, the influencer encourages their followers to switch things up and start collecting these cozy critters instead of the usual viral toys. Move over, Labubu—there's a new tiny obsession in town, and it bleats. Pic:Irish knitters might not have seen this one coming, but the La Ba Ba is already on its way to becoming the next must-have travel trinket. 'The fashion police called. Labubus are out; Labaabaas are in. Sorry, I don't make the rules,' the user Hungry Haley wrote, with many taking to the comments to share their excitement at the cuddly accessory. 'I'm definitely buying a lababa when I'm home in 2 weeks. I've been influenced,' one Irish native wrote. 'I NEED A LABABA!! HOW DO I GET ONE?!?!?' a second penned. 'Finally a trend I can get on board with,' a third shared. The makers of the now-famous sheep, Erin Knitwear, were quick to spot the viral moment. The Cork-based company, run by siblings Caroline, Billy and John has been handcrafting woollen accessories for over six decades. They promptly reached out to the influencer directly and in a follow-up video, they extended an invitation to visit their main store in Cork aka the homeland of the La Ba Ba—to see where the fluffy charms are born. We love when a plan comes together, and the plan is supporting Irish businesses!
