Former Strictly star Kara Tointon has welcomed a baby boy into the world.

The new arrival is her and her fiancé Marius Jenson’s first child together, and they are over the moon to have finally met their little bundle of joy.

The EastEnders alum confirmed the news to Hello!, bubbling with excitement.

“On Thursday at 11:04am, 3.2 kilos of happiness joined our lives,” the actress raved.

And while the happy couple are doting over their little one, some of the family members have been fairly protective of the newest member.

“Kara and I couldn't be happier and our four legged companions Elfie and Winston have been guarding our new family member since.”

How sweet!

Fans were shocked when the mum confirmed the baby news, for she only announced she was expecting last month.

Speaking of both her upcoming wedding and pregnancy, she said: “It’s an incredible time. It’s the biggest life changing moment when you have this little human being coming into your life that you are yet to meet.

It has been quite the year for the pair as they enjoy life in their love bubble.

They have been together for two years and get on well due to their many shared interests like art and music.

In fact, their first date was at the Royal Academy of Arts, where Marius confessed he took Kara in an attempt to impress her.

Kara found Marius charming and immediately fell head over heels.

“For me it was always about meeting the person that you know is the one you want to share this experience with,” she said.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Our hearts are breaking. 

One Strictly couple, rumoured to be in the throes of a passionate love affair, have poured cold water all over the whispers.

Yes, Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell have addressed rumours that they are an item. 

While their amazing chemistry is what's been sparking rumours of a romance, it is something that Joe strongly denies. 

Boooo!

The 27-year-old said,  "There's nothing in it – if we were dating everyone would see it.''

He continued, "Rumours like this have gone on throughout the show's history. I understood before signing up that it's something people really get into."

It seems that people speculating about his love life is not something the YouTube vlogger is a big fan of. 

He said, ''Obviously it's a bit weird to be drawn into that stuff for me. It's not nice – it's something you can't control."

Dianne was pictured heading to Joe's flat training, which obvs added fuel to the fire.

In a YouTube video that came out later, Joe says, "We're getting the video in early this week, check us out. It's the end of the week and we're already smashing it out. Go team Joanne. As you can see, Dianne and myself. We're in my house."

He joked, "Dianne's around my house, I can't believe it. That can only mean one thing, Dianne's around my house for a YouTube video, it must mean we're going out with each other."

Dianne added, "It must mean that. Hello, boyfriend."

Well, we better not rush out to buy our hats any time soon.

Strictly continues this Saturday on BBC One at 7:05pm.

BBC newsreader  Kate Silverton has become the latest casualty of Strictly Come Dancing.

The 48-year-old and her pro dancer partner Aljaž Škorjanec took to the dance-floor in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom with a beautiful American Smooth, yet they found themselves in the bottom two alongside cricketer Graeme Swann and his partner Oti Mabusse.

While this is Graeme's third dance-off in four weeks, the four judges opted to save him unanimously. 

Doesn't make sense, does it?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

News flash! Kate and Aljaž are the latest couple to depart the dance floor, ending their Strictly journey on a high

A post shared by BBC Strictly (@bbcstrictly) on

Graeme and Oti gave an energetic performance with their Couples' Choice Theatre and Jazz routine, however many fans were shocked at the choice to give Kate the boot as Graeme's routine seemed to lack technique. 

The judges seemed to like the more showbusiness-style as opposed to Kate's rather simple ballroom dance.

Bruno said, “Purely based on what I saw I have to go for the couple that gave the more accomplished and overall stronger performance.''

“And for that reason, I think Graeme and Oti.”

Kate then broke down in tears after she was announced as the eighth celebrity to leave the competition.

And the fans didn't waste any time in taking to Twitter to air their frustration that the judges seem to be making the wrong choices a lot lately.

One wrote, ''It's got to be time to say goodbye to Graeme Swann, hasn't it?! I prefer Kate and Aljaz but that's a different story! #Strictly.''

Another said, "So sad to see Kate leave. Thought she was the better dancer in the dance-off. #Strictly.''

While others fumed,  "So disappointed at the #Strictly result! Kate is one of my favourites! No idea how Graeme keeps getting through these dance-offs, he’s terrible! He’s seen off all 3 of my favourites now!"

Another angry fan tweeted, ''judges…ever gone to Spec-savers?''

What do you think – right choice or have the judges lost the plot this series?

Joe Sugg continues to perform well on Strictly Come Dancing, and it’s clear to see where he gets his moves from.

His grandmother Phyllis was a talented ballroom dancer in the 1940s, often frequenting the famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom.

And even though Joe had no prior dance training before his time on Strictly, the dancing gene has shown itself time and time again.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Joe (@joe_sugg) on

“I feel like I must have picked up something from my nan because she gave it a go back when she was younger and must have been good at it, having danced in Blackpool,” he told the Press Association.

Joe is close with both of his grandparents and has featured them in his hilarious and relatable Youtube videos.

In this video, his grandad is bustling around the kitchen being noisy af when Joe stops talking and zooms in on his flared nostrils.

"Am I being too noisy?" his grandad asks. And Joe replies, "No, it's fine" in that passive aggressive tone we know all too well.

But like grandparents do, they offered Joe cupcakes and all was forgiven. 

And now, the 27-year-old can't wait for his grandmother to come watch his next dance with partner Dianne Buswell,

Travelling over 200 miles from Wiltshire, the 96-year-old is overcoming her chronic hip pain to watch the Youtuber's Blackpool performance.

Joe said, “She doesn’t really move very well. She’s in her chair a lot of the time and she’s got really bad hips but she has agreed that she will come up and watch me.

“She’s been so proud, so supportive of me the whole way. She loves it, especially the ballroom stuff. If I could do a ballroom [dance] in Blackpool that would be really, really nice for her."

Maybe the Youtuber will chance his arm and perform her beloved ballroom dance.

Either way, we are excited for Joe's next performance with Dianne. They are the perfect pair!

Every year on Strictly Come Dancing, rumoured flings and confirmed couples are a given.

Look, everyone's probably shifting everyone, tbf. 

This year, there have been whispers about Ashley and Giovanni as well as Joe and Dianne (although the latter are deffo dating.)

However, the latest possible romance revelation is one that has taken us by surprise.

Pro dancer AJ Pritchard has hinted at a future romantic relationship with his dance partner, Paralympian Lauren Steadman.

OMG.

A post shared by A J P R I T C H A R D . (@aj11ace) on

The 24-year-old spoke out about their partnership and it seemed that he might see a future with Lauren.

He said, "I am very protective of Lauren because we have worked so close together. There are different things that she will talk about in training that she would never talk about on camera.''

He continued, "It’s for that reason that we have grown so close together and we will be friends for life and who knows in the future….You never know what is going to happen."

Hmm, sounds like he fancies her to us. 

He also discussed that Lauren had been struggling with her confidence for the first few weeks of the show, and was self-conscious about her arm.

He is delighted with the positive response that the have received from the public, as the pair have become firm fan favourites. 

He said, "The amount of messages we get sent in by young kids who are born with one arm and they say, ‘Seeing you on TV makes it more normal for us to have an arm like this’. It’s so inspirational and it’s what she wanted from week one and she is achieving it.'' 

Fans picked up on the growing chemistry between the pair as the weeks have gone on. 

People took to Twitter to say how much they wanted them to start dating.

One wrote, ''Anybody else thought Lauren and AJ were about to snog at the end of that waltz?! #strictly.''

Another said, ''I think he has a crush…''

It's the dramz  that just keeps on giving.

Comedian Seann Walshe might have been booted off Strictly Come Dancing a few weeks ago not long after he was pictured kissing married pro dancer partner, Katya Jones.

However, now it seems that the pair are to hit the dance floor together again, at the show's grand finale.

The news has come as quite a blow to Katya's husband Neil, who is also a pro dancer.

Poor aul Neil. 

Reportedly, Neil ''will be gutted as when Seann was voted off the show, he was glad to see the back of him.''

The general atmosphere on the show has been happier since the 32-year-old's departure and ''things are back on track in his marriage – so he’ll be gutted when Seann is back on set.''

Seann and Katya's drunken kiss was blamed on too much booze and the Russian dancer made a statement after it hit the media, claiming that it in no way reflected her marriage to Neil.

A Strictly spokesperson has said that, "Every year all of our celebrities are invited back for the grand final at the end of the series. This year is no different and we look forward to reuniting them all once more.”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Rebecca Humphries (@beckshumps) on

Meanwhile, Seann's former girlfriend, actor Rebecca Humphries, has spoken out about how she has been rebuilding her life after Seann's cheating was exposed. 

She revealed on Instagram that she has penned a piece for Vogue Journal entitled, Rebecca Humphries On How Kindness Has Been Revamped In 2018.

She wrote, “Tales and accounts which have since been splashed throughout the entrance pages by full strangers about essentially the most private, deeply heartfelt side of my life.”

She continued, “However maybe the largest shock (no imply feat), has been of the 1000’s of people that recognised the Marvel Girl behind that assertion was on the similar time standing within the ruins of a shattered actuality – and their rush to supply humour, perspective and life-force to assist rebuild it.''

Strictly continues this Saturday on BBC One at 6:45pm.

Alfonso Ribeiro and his wife Angela Unkrich are expecting!

The former Fresh Prince of Bel Air star made the announcement on Instagram today.

Angela is lined up behind her two sons with a big smile. Both boys have on white tops that they’ve stuffed to look like a baby bump.

The Strictly Come Dancing star is matching both of them, cradling her own and very real bump.

Many fans have commented with congratulations to the happy couple.

“Where is Tom Jones to sing a song?” said a fan in reference to the actor’s iconic Carlton dance.

“How exciting. Congrats to you and your family,” said another.

This will be the happy couple’s third child together. They share two sons – Alfonso Lincoln Jr and Anders Reyn.

Alfonso also has a daughter named Siena with ex-wife Robin Stapler.

Congratulations to the parents, and we can’t wait to meet your little boy or girl!

Love Island host Caroline Flack is returning to Strictly Come Dancing.

And the English presenter is going to have a special partner this year.

The Strictly star dazzled audiences with her winning performance in 2014 and it appears she has been dying to return to the show ever since.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Caroline Flack (@carolineflack) on

According to The Sun, the TV presenter will make her debut on the Christmas Day special of the dance show.

She will be paired with Neil Jones as his first ever celebrity partner.

The professional dancer is over the moon at the opportunity to dance with Caroline and cannot wait for her big return.

Neil and his wife Katya Jones have made tabloid headlines since the Strictly cheating scandal news.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Neil Jones (@mr_njonesofficial) on

Katya was photographed kissing her dancing partner Seann Walsh after a night out.

Neil has yet to comment on the scandal and instead remains focused on his role on the show.

“Caroline jumped at the chance” of returning to the BBC show, a source told The Sun.

“She expected to be paired up with pro dancer Pasha Kovalev again, but Strictly bosses were inundated with requests for Neil to finally get a celebrity dance partner.

“It’s their way of showing Neil they support him and are ­grateful for the dignified way he handled the situation with Seann and Katya.”

We can’t wait for the Christmas Day special this year and have high expectations for the dynamic dancers.

They are going to make quite the pair on the dance floor.

This weekend’s episode of Strictly Come Dancing was no doubt one of the most-watched episodes in the show’s history. People couldn’t help but tune in to see how comedian Seann Walsh and his professional dance partner Katya Jones performed following their kissing scandal last weekend.

Many people felt like the pair should solely be judged on their performance and it looks like their energetic Charleston won the public over because the pair managed to avoid the dance-off.

There’s no doubt the duo were stunned when Tess Daly confirmed that they had been voted into next weekend’s show.

Seann and Katya’s reaction said it all. They were truly shocked by the results.

Katie Piper and Charles Venn competed in the dance-off with campaigner Piper losing to the Casualty star.

Many viewers were furious by the results and it seems like one of the judges was too.

Rumour has it Craig Revel Horwood was not impressed with the results.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by BBC Strictly (@bbcstrictly) on

A source told The Sun: “There was a lot of anger backstage on Saturday. The feeling from the professionals and judges was that Seann and Katya deserved to go — but they weren’t even in the bottom two.”

“Craig was vocal in the last week about his thoughts on Katya and Seann and there was no change after the show.”

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Darcey Bussell (@darceybussellofficial) on

They added: “He made it quite clear he felt they should have gone and that, if it hadn’t been for poorer performances, they would.”

Do you think Seann and Katya deserved to make it through to next week’s show? Or should the pair hang up their dancing shoes?

Seann Walsh and Katya Jones have been at the centre of quite the media storm since photos of them kissing were published last Sunday.

We can’t help but wonder should we just focus on their heel leads and top line? Or should Seann discuss the scandal in public?

The pair may have apologised, but the public is understandably furious by the cheating scandal.

Seann gave a half-hearted apology on It Takes Two, where he failed to say sorry to his former girlfriend Rebecca Humphries.

“First of all, I would rather not be having to address this publicly but I feel like I have to,” he confessed.

“I made a mistake which I’m very sorry for. I’m sorry for the hurt that I’ve caused. You never think about the extent of the damage that you’re going to do in a mistake that you’ve made.”

“I feel it’s also important for me to say that the people that know me the most, that love me, they know that I am not the person I am being portrayed as,” he added.

“I’m still sorry for what I did but it’s very important for me to get that out there.”

Rebecca claimed that Seann had been getting close to professional dancer Katya for weeks after she noticed a major change in his behaviour.

The pair says it was nothing but a drunken kiss, but should they be punished for their actions?

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Katya Jones (@mrs_katjones) on

Many people have asked for Seann and Katya to be kicked off the show, but should their personal lives affect their chance at winning the Strictly glitterball trophy?

He's a bad person, he made a massive mistake and damaged two serious relationships, but the Strictly producers have confirmed Seann and Katya will perform on the weekend, much to our disappointment.

Judging by his dance skills and the public’s reaction to this Strictly scandal, we can’t imagine Seann will be spinning around the dance floor for much longer.

Let's be honest all women are excellent multitaskers. You just never know when you'll need to do the makeup on the train while prepping for that early-morning meeting, grab lunch while doing two conference calls or WhatsApp while binge-watching Netflix (it's harder than it looks tbh) – you constantly need to be adaptable and as we know, be prepared for the unexpectedness that a hectic life brings.. 

Katie Piper, author, advocate and now Strictly star, is a woman who knows all about this.

The mum-of-two took to Instagram to reveal that she had been up since 5am with her youngest daughter Penelope.

In the utterly adorable post, in which she lovingly cradles her second child, she wrote: "After a 5am start someone has fallen back to sleep, my little Pea."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by K A T I E P I P E R (@katiepiper_) on

Despite the fact that she managed to get her to nod off in her arms, Piper lamented that she was still wearing her Strictly tan from Saturday night's first live show but said she'd no time to worry as she had to go to Sainsbury's anyhow.

"On a side note I wonder if this spray tan is going to look out of place when I go to Sainsbury’s later!" she added. 

How many of us have not even thought about a mirror before the weekly shop? Hungry kids (or, hangry feelings, generally) = priorities.  

Piper is no doubt, still on a high after the first Strictly show of its 16th season kicked off on Saturday – she performed a beautiful waltz with partner Gorka – but many fans thought that she had been under-marked, with judge Bruno advising her to relax more as he felt nerves may have impacted her performance. 

She penned an emotive post, thanking fans for their support, and her dancing partner for his patience.  

How STUNNING did she look on the night?

"You did it my darling, you did all the steps, you got to the end and it looked good. Now relax and don't overthink it. Don't worry about it too much, let him guide you because you can dance," Bruno said. 

This is one mum who should feel immensely proud – spray tan and all!

Strictly fever is well and truly in the air as we're mere days away from the first live show of the 2018 season.

For the last couple of weeks, we've been getting glimpses at the contestants, the professionals they'll be dancing with as well as other tidbits from the show.

The glitter, the gowns, bitchy resting face from Craig – it's all going to be gold. 

Strictly's structure has stayed more or less the same over the years; generally each couple chooses a ballroom or the more feared Latin dance (these are pre-assigned, they can be a Waltz or a Rumba and so on) each week, and they only have a couple of minutes to pull out all the stops and impress the judges with a perfect routine. 

 

A post shared by BBC Strictly (@bbcstrictly) on

The set list of dances has remained the same for the last several years, but today, the Strictly camp announced that this will be changing.

After the first few weeks of the new series – they will need time to find their feet – at least once celebrity contestant a week will be asked to perform a 'Couples Choice' dance alongside the other more traditional ones like the Cha Cha Cha and Salsa.

 

A post shared by BBC Strictly (@bbcstrictly) on

It will allow the couples to choose from one of three new dance styles we've not yet seen on the show – Contemporary, Street/commercial or theatre/jazz – which will showcase their celebrity’s skills best. This is now the 15th dance category in the show, and this addition is in place to add a more contemporary element to the glitterball surroundings, according to the organisers. 

The Couple's Choice is the first new dance category to be added to Strictly for nine years when the Charleston was adding in Series Seven.

This does mean, however, that they're be less of the traditional elements to some of the routines, so it's probably just as well that Len Goodman is no longer on the judging panel! 

The new series of Strictly Come Dancing airs on BBC1 on Saturday, September 8th.
