Love Island’s Jourdan Riane has confirmed her breakup from Danny Williams in an emotional open letter.

The reality star stressed that she has to respect herself before anyone else in the moving read. She explained that she enjoyed her relationship with her Love Island co-star but explained that she has boundaries.

“I don’t regret the decisions I’ve made as far as choosing to give someone a chance however, I have boundaries. In a relationship there are things I won’t tolerate. Lack of respect, disloyalty & dishonesty are amongst those things,” she wrote.

“I know people will come with the “I told you so”, “you should’ve listened” (maybe it’s true) & more than likely snigger/laugh at my situation.,” she added.

However, despite her heartache, Jourdan said that her mum raised her to be a strong woman and to “always give the benefit of the doubt and let people prove themselves to you”.

Jourdan explained that this is exactly what she did but things didn’t work out with Danny, “I went into this with a genuine heart & real intention to make it work. The love was as real as the hurt is now.”

Earlier in the week, reports said that Jourdan had confronted Danny about flirting and messaging other women behind her back, but he denied and laughed at her accusations.

Shay Mitchell is already being mum-shamed, a mere week after giving birth to her first child. The mum has come under fire after she attended Drake’s birthday party. 

Trolls are attacking the mum for leaving the house… I know, we can’t believe it either. God forbid the new mum wanted to step outside.

The new mum is entitled to have fun. Just because the You star is a mum, doesn’t mean she shouldn’t have a good time. She is still a human.

The Pretty Little Liars actress and her beau Matte Babel were spotted having a ball at Drake’s birthday party. A source told US Weekly,  “Shay looked absolutely amazing, definitely not like she had just given birth. She was dancing and living her best life, and her and Matte were having so much fun together.”

However, the mum-shamers were furious at Shay for leaving her daughter at home, despite the fact that the newborn was being looked after by a friend/family member.

Users shared harsh comments on Shay’s first photo of her baby girl.

One said, “Disgusting…leaving your newborn only days after her birth.”

Another wrote, “Mother of the year award right here! As if you seriously could leave your baby to go party?”

“You literally just had her and you’re more worried about clubbing with Drake?” another said.

Shay was quick to hit back at the abusive comments and stressed that she didn’t make the announcement on the day of her daughter’s birth, alluding to the fact that her daughter is older than the public believed.

She replied to one comment saying, “Days? Lol honey, just because I posted on that day doesn’t mean she was born on that day.”

We’re so glad Shay is sticking up for herself and ignoring the hatred.

Christmas is all about spending quality time with your family, but it is also about eating all of the chocolate and turkey sandwiches within arms reach.

Cadbury Heroes are a staple part of our diet during the festive season so we were only delighted when they announced two new additions to their collection.

They have added two NEW Cadbury favourites- Crunchie Bits and Dinky Decker- to bags and tubs of Heroes.

Cadbury Heroes are ideal for sharing with family and Cadbury Ireland want to ensure that your loved ones are home for Christmas.

In a recent survey, 57 percent of parents said they worry that their children spend less time with their family than they did when they were young.

27 percent said that they are so busy, that on an average day they don’t spend any time with their kids.

Cadbury Heroes wants to call on families to help reverse these statistics, and unlock everyday moments of connection, no matter how big or small.

You can get involved in the #HeroesReunitingFamilies campaign by filling out a Pledge Certificate and vow to spend one hour with a family member you’ve been missing. You can do whatever tickles your fancy, whether that’s watching Friends reruns, going for a walk in the park or sharing a bag of Cadbury Heroes.

Step out of your comfort zone for just one hour and see where it takes you- who knows, you might even find a new hobby.

You can post your pledge on social media and tag @CadburyIreland so they can see who is taking part in the heartwarming campaign.

Now, we’re off to buy a year’s supply of Cadbury Heroes.

We are a little bit too excited about the Lizzie McGuire reboot, especially after Hilary Duff posted a behind-the-scenes snap.

The actress has started filming the series in none other than the Big Apple and she looks incredible.

Hilary took to Instagram to mark the first day of filming. Hilary wore a yellow and black houndstooth two piece (which we NEED) and a mustard coat for the first day of filming. The actress was full of smiles as she posed on the set of the Disney+ production.

“I have said this before, but for me coming back when she's 30 and she's not in a marriage and she's not having a baby and she's not doing all the things that I have already done in my life, that story is really exciting for me.”

"I think to myself, where can we go? What are the struggles of a 30-year-old right now? What are the pressures that life throws in front of a woman who is 30 and doesn't have all the things yet?

“Maybe there is something bad happening on her 30th birthday in the first episode? Maybe she's going to be in her childhood bedroom in the first episode? I don't know! There's all this fun! We want to give fans what they want, but we also want to have a completely new show,” she added.

The Lizzie McGuire reboot is expected to air on Disney's new streaming service, Disney+ in 2020.

Bookworms, we have some wonderful news.

Jojo Moyes’ book The Last Letter From Your Lover is being made into a Netflix movie.

The streaming service confirmed the exciting news and even announced the cast for the adaption. And trust us, you’ll be extremely happy.

Felicity Jones, Shailene Woodley, Ncuti Gatwa, Callum Turner and Joe Alwyn will star in the romantic movie.

The Last Letter From Your Lover is a heart wrenching tale set in modern-day London. The dual-narrative story follows Ellie (Felicity Jones), a journalist who finds the love letters of star-crossed lovers from the 1960s.

The love affair is so enchanting that Ellie decides to find the couple, Jennifer Stirling (Woodley) and Anthony O’ Hare (Callum Turner) so she can find out if they ended up together.

Moye’s book Me Before You was also made into a film in 2016 and if The Last Letter From Your Lover is half as moving as that then you’ll certainly need the tissues by your side when it lands on Netflix.

A release date has yet to be released but keep your eyes peeled!

Kimberly Wyatt and her husband Max Rogers welcomed their third child earlier this month and they have finally revealed their tiny tot’s name and gender.

In an interview with OK! Magazine, the doting mum announced the birth of their baby boy.

The parents decided to call their baby boy Ford Senna Rogers, but they will address him as Senna.

Max explained why they picked such a unique name for their little one, “I’ve always wanted the name Ford because my big career break was getting the cover of GQ with Tom Ford. Then my dad was a racing car driver, and so his middle name is Senna after F1 driver Ayrton Senna."

A royal etiquette expert has explained some of the more confusing royal style rules to news.com.au, and we can't even process how strange this is.

With a rake of high profile events in the Buckingham Palace calendar, The Duchess of Cambridge and the Duchess of Sussex have the chance to wear the finest jewels in the world. 

Apparently, Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are banned from wearing diamonds during the day, which we think sounds pretty unfair.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by  (@meghanmarkle_official) on

Both women possess some beautiful jewellery of their own, and from their late mother-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales.

The pair are frequently given permission to wear select pieces from the royal collection, as well as their own. Basically, they own a shed-load of bling.

However, it turns out that the Duchesses are fairly restricted in what jewels they can wear at specific times during the day. Etiquette teacher Myka Meier has given us the lowdown.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by @the_royalfamilies on

“Other jewels are worn pre-6pm,” Meier told news.com.au, which explains why the duo are normally only seen sporting stones like pearls and topaz, or minimalist precious metal pieces during the day as well as their engagement rings.

The Duchesses are meant to avoid looking "flashy" before the evening time, for some reason. 

“Before 6pm, you’ll see metallics, gemstones, pearls, sapphires," explains Meier.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by  (@princess.diana.forever) on

"At night, you’ll see the diamonds come out, and that’s in order to not come across as flashy in your appearance.”

Considering their lifestyle is fairly different to our own, we don't think not wearing jewels while the sun is up will suggest that they're just like us.
