    ‘Against all odds she hung on in there’

    Spencer penned a lengthy caption to accompany the heartwarming post.

    We were told on more than one occasion that there was little hope.

    “Seven months ago our mum was involved in a freak accident which left her fighting for her life…,” he wrote.

    “We were told on more than one occasion that there was little hope if any but against all odds she hung on in there and thanks to the two heroic surgeons in the third pic and countless others at @chelwestft she left hospital today after 218 days on the ward,” he then continued.

    “The staff labelled her a minor miracle but they are the miracle workers. My family are eternally grateful for their incredible work. Never give up,” he then added.

    Spencer supported by his followers

    Plenty of Spencer’s took to the comment section to gush over the amazing news.

    “The best news,” GMB host Susanna Reid commented.

    “Buzzing for you all,” Gary Lineker’s son, George, gushed.

    “Sending love and thoughts,” Claire Sweeney then added.

    “She’s a tough bird,” Jane Moore then wrote.

    “I’m so happy to see dearest Marion finally walking out of there. My love to all of you and big love for Mazza, who is truly one incredible lady!!” another follower said.

    Peter Andre’s wife Emily ‘finding it tough’ as daughter Millie leaves primary school!

    Peter opened up about the big changes

    Peter Andre has spoken about a “bittersweet time” for himself, wife Emily and daughter Millie, in his new column.

    Mysterious Girl singer Peter Andre, 52, his wife Emily, 35, and their family are celebrating some major milestones this summer.

    And it appears it’s left them all feeling a bit emotional…

    Peter Andre on ‘bittersweet’ time

    Writing his column for New! magazine, Peter spoke about how their daughter, Millie, has left primary school, something that was described as the “end of an era”.

    It’s been quite sad.

    “It’s been a bittersweet time recently – Emily and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary this month, but it was also Millie’s last week of primary school before she heads off to secondary school in September,” he wrote.

    “It’s been quite sad to see her prepare to say goodbye to the school she’s attended since she was little. I try to look at it like they’re growing up and it’s great, but Emily has found it tough. Millie is her firstborn, so I totally understand why she feels so emotional about it,” he then added.

    Peter and Emily rule out having any more children

    Peter’s sad admission comes not long after his wife, Emily, revealed that they won’t be having any more children together.

    Emily and Peter have three children together, Millie, Theo, and Arabella, whom they welcomed in April 2024. Emily is also stepmother to Peter’s children with ex Katie Price, Junior and Princess.

    Speaking on Giovanna Fletcher’s Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast, Emily spoke about having baby Arabella.

    “It’s absolutely cemented now, but we always said it would be the last anyway. We don’t have any more bedrooms for starters, so that’s a good enough reason,” she said.

    “The car is full. We don’t even have a seven-seater anymore because Junior and Princess can drive,” she then said.

    She also added that the age gap between the kids means they’re not in competition with each other.

    “Like the younger ones understand that there’s a different set of rules for the older ones because they’re grown-ups,” she said.

    Emily shares rare insight into parenting Katie Price’s kids

    In the same podcast, Emily opened up about parenting Junior, 20, and Princess, 18.

    “I’m not their mum, and that’s something I always have to make sure I tread carefully with. I always see it, I think I would see it a bit more like being a big sister,” she said.

    “I don’t know if that’s the right way to look at it, but I think, you know, I always try and give them guidance, but I wouldn’t overstep that,” she then continued.

    She added that she also tries to “support them like I would do with my own kids”.

    Loose Women chaos as Brenda Edwards and Janet Street-Porter clash over Coldplay cheating scandal!

    Viewers decided Brenda ‘needs anger management therapy’

    On today’s (July 21) episode of Loose Women, panelists Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards clashed live on air.

    For Monday’s line-up, viewers were welcomed by Charlene White, Katie Piper, Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards. On the show, they discussed a range of topics, including the Coldplay kiss cam scandal, which has been making headlines globally.

    Loose Women panelists Janet Street-Porter and Brenda Edwards clash

    For those who need a recap, the married CEO of American tech firm Astronomer, Andy Byron, was captured with his arm around a woman’s waist on one of the big screens at Coldplay’s gig in Boston last Tuesday (July 15).

    The woman was not his wife, but in fact his co-worker Kristin Cabot. As seen on film, Andy quickly let go of Kristin and crouched down, while she covered her face with her hands.

    As the story continues to make front-page news, Andy has resigned from his role following backlash.

    Why should having an affair mean you can’t run a very complicated AI company?

    In the wake of the news, Charlene asked her fellow Loose Women panelists if he made the right decision.

    Brenda strongly believed it was, stating that Andy “brought it on himself”. Janet quickly butted in and expressed her disagreement: “I’m sorry! He’s the boss of an AI company. Why should having an affair mean you can’t run a very complicated AI company?”

    As they continued to talk over each other, Brenda explained that she met her ex-husband at work, stating she wasn’t “disputing” that relationships can form through work. However, she firmly believed Andy shouldn’t have been at the concert with the other woman, and that he “knew” it was wrong.

    Charlene interjected: “Allegedly!” Brenda then raised her voice, shouting: “Unless they’re coming back saying that’s AI!”

    “Be out and proud if you’re gonna do it!” she continued.

    Katie, on the other hand, defended the pair, saying the public are making “assumptions”, expressing that we know what has been happening behind closed doors. She also sympathised with the children who have been targeted online with memes.

    “He should have thought about that!” Brenda insisted.

    Viewers react

    Following the debate, viewers were left divided.

    “Brenda needs anger management therapy,” one user wrote on X.

    “Pipe the [bleep] down Edwards, she’s really annoying,” another person shared.

    “Would someone please tell Brenda to stop shouting? She seems aggrieved about every single thing, a third remarked.

    “”He was dancing with her’ Brenda, SHE was also dancing with HIM,” a fourth said.

    ‘Totally agree with Brenda’

    Many, on the other hand, completely agreed with Brenda’s point of view.

    “Brenda is the only one who has a normal opinion on this,” one said.

    “Totally agree with Brenda,” another shared.

    “We are all Brenda. The other women are too scared to be honest – allegedly,” another remarked.

    Users noticed the lack of interest in their latest venture…

    Married couple Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz can’t catch a break as they complaints poured in after they made a joint Instagram account for their dogs.

    The pair, who tied the knot in 2022, remain in the headlines following numerous reports of a feud between Brooklyn and his famous family.

    While nobody has confirmed the reason for the reported feud, the cause of the rift is the supposed tension between Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz, and the Beckham family.

    As more continues to unfold, Brooklyn has faced backlash for allegedly distancing himself from his family. However, in a new update, it appears the backlash hasn’t stopped…

    “Always here for a doggo account” one said.

    They’re all too cute, poodle baby gang!” another shared.

    “Actually too much cuteness,” a third expressed.

    Katie’s attack

    Katie was the victim of horrific acid attack in March 2008 when ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch ordered a man – named Stefan Sylvestre – to throw acid over the star.

    Sylvestre was given a life sentence in 2009. He was released on licence in 2018. Lynch, meanwhile, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 16 years in May 2009.

    The following year, the model bravely gave up her right to anonymity. This was in a bid to increase awareness about burns victims.

    Katie has since brought the public along on her ongoing medical journey. This has involved more than 250 operations, countless skin grafts and the removal of her eye.
