The series was filming at the start of 2024, but quickly had to stop production later in the year as Daisy went into labour early.

Speaking to OK! she explained: “I was pregnant when we started filming and then my son was born seven weeks early, so we had to stop filming right in the middle.”

She added: “I have a brilliant son, but it was really stressful.”

However returning to filming also came with issues as when the production did continue for the second series, Daisy looked totally different.

Daisy explained: “It was a bit mad, because since we filmed the last series and this series, I’ve had my lips done. I’ve lost about ten stone.”

Daisy also revealed the news of her third child to fans via her Instagram, as she shared a video from the neo-natal unit.

She captioned the clip: “What a bloody week…

“You came a bit earlier than we expected and gave me the worst post op constipation that i nearly had to phone the samaratins but my god you are perfect.

“I cannot thank @deliverysuitegrh enough. The way you looked after us through such a scary time was above and beyond. you are all bloody superstars. I am so blessed. Welcome to the world little Benji, ya nutter Born 06/06/24.”

The video also included sweet clips including Daisy meeting her son for the first time as she was pushed by a nurse into the neonatal unit where she broke down in tears when she saw her little one. 

She was seen crying “hi bubba” as she reached into his incubator to touch him.  

Benji is Daisy’s first child with her boyfriend Anthony Huggins, Daisy already has two other children daughter Pip, five, and son Jack, three, with her ex-husband Will Weston.

Filming did resume on Am I Being Unreasonable? to conclude the second series.

The series was the brainchild of Daisy and co-writer and co-star Selin Hizli, with the pair coming up with the storyline during the pandemic.

Daisy previously shared in an interview: “For me I always wanted to write something with Selin because I think she’s the most talented person I’ve ever met, I mean second to me, I am massively talented (laughs) but there’s nobody else who makes me laugh like her.”

Selin added: “I knew you were just at home doing nothing because so was the rest of the world. So I knew you couldn’t come up with a good excuse so I could just force you to be my friend.”

LORRAINE Kelly blasted Wynne Evans as a “nutter” as she gave her take on the shamed Strictly Come Dancing star’s sleaze scandal.

The Scottish host, 65, spoke out during a small segment on Wednesday’s Good Morning Britain, where she previewed her upcoming ITV daytime show.

Lorraine, known for her cheery giggle and beaming smile, took a more sombre tone as she told how her programme would feature chats with Strictly fans who had attended the current tour.

She revealed how the chats came after opera singer Wynne was axed from the live concert dates after his sexual jibe towards former BBC One show pro Janette Manrara, 41 – which was caught on both film and camera.

It has emerged how he is fighting to save his Go Compare job and BBC travel show.

On Tuesday, Wynne broke his silence on being booted off the tour and told fans: “I am deeply sorry.”

Now the broadcasting veteran, who fronts her Lorraine show on most weekdays, has given her take and said: “What kind of person says that anyway, but what kind of nutter does that when they are being filmed?

“I don’t understand it.

“I am constantly baffled.”

Later, as she discussed the incident on her own show, she branded Wynne a “complete clown.”

SHOW SHOCK

Wynne let slip his shock remark at the start of the Strictly live tour shows before pulling out of the Glasgow performance, citing an ankle injury.

The BBC Wales presenter was heard suggesting a threesome with mum-of-one Janette, using the derogatory term “spit roast.”

It came at a photocall to launch the Strictly live tour, when the Go Compare singer reportedly made a suggestive face at actor Jamie Borthwick as Janette moved between them — which is when he allegedly made the joke.

An image shows Wynne, wearing a blue top, glancing over his right shoulder at Janette, who can be seen standing next to him gazing at the floor.

He has since issued an apology and told The Mail on Sunday: “My language was inappropriate and unacceptable, for which I sincerely apologise.”

BBC and Strictly Live producers said: “We have made it clear to Wynne we do not tolerate such behaviour on tour.”

At the time, Janette’s spokeswoman said she had been “unaware of this comment.”

Wynne was then spotted brushing off the scandal as he was seen singing on stage – despite being unable to dance.

He also shared images of his bruised ankle in a story on Instagram after his injury threw preparations for the live show into chaos.

Dad of two Wynne is sadly no stranger to a TV scandal.

Wynne previously came under fire in last year’s Strictly series when he was seen groping his dance partner Katya Jones, but they dismissed it as a joke.

WYNNE’S STATEMENT

Wynne apologised for his conduct in a statement on Tuesday and said: “I’ve agreed with the BBC that l’ll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing.

“I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection.

“Apologies to those I won’t get to see at the remaining performances and I’m grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me.”

According to insiders, the incident followed “repeated warnings about his behaviour” leading show bosses to remove him from the tour.

His BBC One show partner Katya has also broken her silence on his tour exit.

Away from the reality series, the scandal has cause heartbreak in Wynne’s home life.

The dad of two has been dumped by his girlfriend after he left her “humiliated” with is “lewd” conduct.

CORONATION Street star Simon Gregson has shared a health update after he was forced to deny splitting from his wife.

Simon and his wife Emma were hit with speculation they had broken up after Emma was listed as his ‘estranged’ wife in business documents.

The couple are very much still together[/caption]

But a source close to the 50-year-old actor has now confirmed the pair are definitely still going strong.

The actor, who plays ladies’ man Steve McDonald in the soap, has now posted a video to his 150,000 followers to update them on what’s going on with his health.

He said: “This is the as promised progress report, it’s going on for two weeks now.

“So with the CBD stuff and gummies and oil, I feel good. There’s an ease after stress that can build up.

“Three kids, three dogs and a cat, it’s a job and this gives me that nice calm and I’m sleeping a lot better before I go to bed.”

He continued: “It’s working, and I am feeling the benefits and I am pleased.”

A week or so ago, Simon said he’d been trying CBD to help with his anxiety, which is something he’s spoken about a great deal in the past.

Away from the Coronation Street set as years went on, Simon started suffering panic attacks and anxiety as he struggled to handle his fame. 

Simon explained: “We were kind of dropped in the middle of the ocean at fifteen and left to swim to shore. It had a massive impact on my mental health, looking back. 

“It makes me very upset, for the only reason that I’ve got kids the same age now, and the thought of them going through what I went through is horrible. It’s not nice.” 

Simon attempted therapy for the first time with the help of his father, who as a member of the police force, has an allowance for family members to get help for their mental health. 

However, he adds that they “didn’t know what to do with him” and he quickly gave up. 

He later explained he started self-medicating by ‘getting really really drunk’ which he says was ‘great’ and ‘not a problem’ – although acknowledged others around him may not have felt the same. 

Simon added he only started curbing his drinking when he met his wife and she laid down the law, admitting he would rather have been with her than drinking. 

But his anxiety remained, and in 2015 he was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, with the doctor saying it may have started around the time he started Corrie. 

Meanwhile, Simon and his wife are still very much together according to a source.

They said: “Simon and Emma have not split and are still very much together.

“Simon has no idea why Emma is listed as his ‘estranged wife’ in financial paperwork.”

It followed reports that Simon is facing having to sell his family home if he doesn’t pay back a £250,000 loan from his production company.

Simon has often praised wife Emma, who runs a tea rooms in Cheshire, for her support of his career on TV. 

Last year, the couple revealed that they were set up by one of his soap star colleagues. 

“We met 18 years ago in the pub in Eccles owned at the time by Beverley Callard,” Simon revealed, with Emma adding: “I used to go to Bev’s pub with my brother Michael and she was running a singing competition called Eccles Factor. Simon was one of the judges and Bev asked me if I liked Simon, ‘as he’s single and he likes you’.”

Simon asked Emma out on a date when they ran into each other at a charity event weeks later, and they’ve been together ever since.

MANCHESTER UNITED will reportedly consider entering the race for Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel if Marcus Rashford or Alejandro Garnacho leaves before deadline day.

Rashford and Garnacho are both facing the axe at Old Trafford, with head coach Ruben Amorim open to letting them go.

The duo have come under fire in recent months amid concerns about their attitude on and off the pitch.

Amorim blasted Rashford’s lack of effort in training at the weekend and said that 63-year-old coach Jorge Vital would be more deserving of a place on the bench.

He insisted: “I’d put Vital on the bench before a player who doesn’t give the maximum every day. I’ll not change in that department.

“It’s always the same reason. The reason is the training. The way that I see what a footballer should do in training,  in life, every day.  If things don’t change, I will not change.

“Same situation for every player — if you do the maximum, if you do the right things, we can use every player.”

Meanwhile, Chelsea have expressed an interest in signing Garnacho before deadline day.

If either player leaves United within the next week, the Red Devils could attempt to sign Tel from Bayern Munich.

Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg claims Man Utd could enter the race for the forward in the next few days depending on outgoings.

It is understood to be an open race for him, with Chelsea also heavily linked.

It was revealed earlier this week that Tel, 19, wants to leave Bayern Munich this month.

He is allegedly prepared to assess all of his options before making a final decision on his future.

Several clubs are understood to be interested.

GEN Z get the most bang for their buck when it comes to experiences and holidays abroad – using loyalty points to make their money go further.

A poll of 2,000 Brits found more than a third (34 per cent) of adults born after 1996 and 26 per cent of millennials have used points to help fund their overseas travel, compared with just 10 per cent of boomers and 11 per cent of Gen X.

A survey found that three quarters (70 per cent) of Gen Z said they wouldn’t be able to afford a holiday if it wasn’t subsidised via a rewards incentive to get the price down[/caption]

Of those who have funded their travel abroad, 64 per cent of millennials had used points to get money off big-ticket expenses such as flights – compared with just 48 per cent of boomers.

New York, Paris and Dubai are among the most exotic locations the younger generation has visited using points to fund the trip.

This comes as Virgin Red launches its third annual report, The Points Index: Holiday Getaways which takes stock of the nation’s mood for trips abroad, while also looking at how public spending and behaviours towards loyalty programmes has changed in the past 12 months.

Andrea Burchett, chief loyalty officer and managing director for the rewards club, which commissioned the research as part of its annual Points Index report, said: “We’re seeing real trends with how people are spending their points.

“Millennials and Gen Z in particular, are demonstrating a remarkable ability to maximise the benefits of loyalty programmes by adopting a more tech-savvy approach.

“They are drawn to digital platforms, mobile apps, and gamified experiences that reward their engagement in innovative ways.

“For these younger shoppers, it’s not just about savings — it’s about the experience, the convenience of integration with their digital lives, and the opportunity to personalise their rewards.

“As we continue to cutback our daily essentials, this data shows consumers refuse to lose out on travel, particularly amongst Gen Z, and our sense of adventure has not been lost among Brits. Particularly those saving up for once-in-a-lifetime experiences.”

Almost three quarters (70 per cent) of Gen Z said they wouldn’t be able to afford a holiday if it wasn’t subsidised via a rewards incentive to get the price down, compared with just half (51 per cent) of Brits overall who said they are in the same position.

Of those using points towards subsidising travel, 88 per cent have used them towards flights, and a further 41 per cent for hotel stays.

It seems the older generation could be missing a trick when it comes to getting money off foreign travel, as more boomers and Gen Xers (both 97 per cent) collect loyalty points than millennials or Gen Z (83 and 77 per cent respectively).

Looking at their future travel plans, 27 per cent of younger respondents want to go on more adventures, based on their bookings in the past 12 months.

And 45 per cent are opting for more ‘once in a lifetime’ travel experiences, rather than smaller trips away.

While nearly half (46 per cent) of Brits are looking at ways to earn more points per spend, in a bid to recoup rewards to upgrade on holiday purchases like flights and hotel stays, the survey also found 46 per cent have changed their spending habits to mitigate the impact of the cost-of-living crisis.

And a huge 90 per cent of those surveyed confirmed they are part of a reward programme, with a quarter of those participating in five or more separate programmes, the OnePoll research found.

Maggie Hellicar, 39, her husband Carl and their one-year-old son Aiden managed to jet off to Disney World in Florida last year – saving £5,000 to upgrade to upper class flights using a combination of 115,000 points through Virgin Red and a companion voucher.

Revealing her tips and tricks, Maggie said: “The points do rack up if you can funnel as much of your spending onto things like the Virgin Atlantic credit cards.

“That gives you a slightly better rate when you spend, and there was also bonus points when you signed up.

“It was a case of spending money on the card, and then you’ve got competitions on Virgin Red which help give you points.

“Every little helps when you’re trying to rack up those points and you’re aiming to get enough for a flight or an upgrade.

“The other benefit you get is the companion vouchers with the credit cards.

“If you spend over a certain amount a year, it makes a massive difference if you’re looking to upgrade or book an extra seat – they’re really useful.”

Andrea Burchett of Virgin Red added: “It’s worth noting that this trend isn’t entirely generational, technology is a key enabler across the board.

“Older consumers are increasingly adopting digital loyalty tools, particularly as businesses simplify the user experience. Today, almost three quarters of Brits (71 per cent) said collecting loyalty points is now part of their everyday routine.

“This shows that while approaches may differ, the universal appeal of gaining value from purchases remains strong, whether that’s for travel, groceries or healthcare.”

AN OnlyFans creator who makes £12,000-a-month on the platform revealed that she’s been left unemployable.

She shared a warning to other single mums that content creation is “not all it’s cracked up to be.”

OnlyFans creator Tyler Wilson revealed some of the issues she faces now her content has gone viral[/caption]

Tyler Wilson, who posts under the name Bluu, turned to making explicit solo content after a car accident in 2019 left her unable to return to her nine-to-five as an estate agent.

Within the first month, the 26-year-old was able to take her son, aged 10, to Disney World.

This was thanks to her growing fanbase who collectively paid £100 a day for her explicit photos.

But she quickly found out about the “ugly” side of her career when a clip of her speaking on a podcast went viral on TikTok and she was “bombarded” by death threats.

She revealed that trolls even made calls to the police and recalled the “judgement at the school gates.”

Now, Tyler says she’s unable to go back to normal life after being left with “constant anxiety” – and still lives on her income from OnlyFans as she believes it’s her “only choice.”

“Within one week of my video going viral, I had the police called to my house multiple times, I had to take my son out of school, and someone smashed up my car,” the mum-of-one said.

“I was very fragile and vulnerable [on the podcast] – I literally went on, thinking it would make me an extra £1,000.

“It was a heated debate with someone who was against OnlyFans – I was reacting to him with a lot of emotion and trauma.”

She recalled the effect her career choice has had on her life.

“As soon as my account blew up, my entire family knew – and all the mums at the school gates had seen it,” Tyler said.

“It’s technically left me unemployable – I could end up losing my job if an employer discovered my content.

“I’m stuck in a rut where every time I need an income boost, I’d have to go viral again, or do a collaboration with another creator – I don’t want to do that.”

In July 2019, Tyler’s estate agent job came to an abrupt end after a car accident left her with a broken collarbone, spine and ribs.

She recovered in hospital for a month – but continued to need surgeries on her broken bones until May 2022.

Despite initially trying to go back to the office, Tyler found it “painful” – and switched to online-only work in estate agent management, earning £800-a-month.

“I was so worried about having to leave my job – I was just in a position where I couldn’t really work,” Tyler said.

“I couldn’t keep coming to work in a neck brace – it was crazy.

“It was like being stuck in limbo, the online job was OK money – but I needed additional income.”

Tyler says she didn’t know much about OnlyFans when she made the decision to sign up in August 2022.

She explained she thought it was like Facebook, where she’d be able to solicit business by messaging people’s accounts.

SWNS

The 29-year-old explained that she has received death threats and calls from social services over her content creation[/caption]

But she claims she didn’t realise she had to share her link for fans to find her – so created alternate, anonymous social media accounts to promote her content.

She quickly went from making £800-a-month to £700-a-week.

“It was never extreme stuff, just explicit solo content,” Tyler said.

“I earned my first £10,000 really quickly, which I spent on taking my son to Disney World, Florida, for two weeks.

“I also bought myself a £27,000 brand new Audi TT in cash.”

However in February 2023, Tyler was hit with an influx of trolling comments after her viral podcast appearance.

Some people even accused her of “ruining her son’s life.”

The police were called to my house so many times in just one week, following reports of ‘child abuse’ – it was a joke.

“The impact hit straight away – I spent ages replying to comments, when I should’ve ignored them,” she said.

“My son’s old school called me up pretty quickly to say they’d seen it – and I should probably avoid peak pick-up times in case any of the mums at the school gates kicked off.

“The police were called to my house so many times in just one week, following reports of ‘child abuse’ – it was a joke.

“I decided to stop actively posting on OnlyFans – but what’s on there is on there forever.

“And I’m still making an income from it – around £3,000 to £4,000 a week.”

The backlash generated from the viral clip kept going for three weeks but Tyler says she still feels the impact of the content being “inerasable” from the internet.

It’s an active worry for me that when he reaches a certain age, my son or his friends will stumble across my content.

Tyler Wilson

She and her son have since moved house to prevent trolls from finding her address – and she enrolled him at a new school.

“It’s an active worry for me that when he reaches a certain age, my son or his friends will stumble across my content,” she said.

“We have a good relationship and I’d never lie to him if he asked me about it – but I really don’t want him to go looking for it.

“High school is looking like another hurdle – but I know I’m in a position to homeschool if it comes to it.”

Tyler wants to warn other single mums not to be “tempted” by making extra income on OnlyFans despite still earning enough to live on it full-time.

“It is better than what I earned from my nine-to-five, but it’s more than passive income,” she said.

“In a moment of needing money, think about how the videos will likely stay online forever, it isn’t worth the anxiety.”

LIVERPOOL will look to cap off a sensational Champions League pool campaign when they face PSV Eindhoven.

Arne Slot‘s men have already coasted into the last-16 having won all seven of their games to this point.

Liverpool face PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday night[/caption]

The Dutch club are well-placed to join them, as they need only a draw to guarantee themselves a place in the play-offs.

Eindhoven – who beat Slot’s Feyenoord to the Eredivisie title last season – are in 19th place in the league phase.

They are three points ahead of Manchester City, who must beat Club Brugge on the same night to qualify for the play-offs.

Here’s everything you need to know about the match.

When is it on and what time is kick-off?

PSV Eindhoven vs Liverpool takes place on Wednesday, January 29, at the Philips Stadium in Eindhoven.

Kick-off is at 8pm.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on Virgin Media 2, with coverage starting at 7pm.

Those wishing to stream the match will be able to through the Virgin Media Player.

What are the teams?

Arne Slot is set to make a raft of changes from the side that hammered Ipswich Town in the Premier League at the weekend.

Cody Gakpo and Andrew Robertson are the only players to have started that game who have travelled to Holland.

This means that Caoimhin Kelleher will start, with the likes of Wataru Endo, Darwin Nunez, Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott, Kostas Tsimikas, Jarell Quansah, and Conor Bradley also set to feature.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, the Reds manager insisted his much-changed side will still be going gung-ho for the victory.

He said: “A very wise man once said to me, ‘I have never seen anything good coming from losing a football game’.

“We are not going into the game tomorrow trying to lose the game, we will do everything we can to try to win it, of course.

“The second thing is that because we mainly start with 13 or 14 players that have shared most of the playing time, the ones that haven’t played a lot it’s very useful for them to have 90 minutes.

“Because if we do get into injury problems, these players will have a bit of game rhythm then as well.

“So, it’s a choice that we’ve made for the long term.

“It doesn’t tell you anything about the results in the short term but definitely it helps us for the long term.”

PSV, meanwhile, will be without a number of players for the game.

Ryan Flamingo is absent through injury, while Ivan Perisic was not registered in time after joining the club in September.

Jerdy Schouten joins Sergino Dest, Malick Tillman and Couhaib Driouech as those ruled out with fitness concern, while Adamo Nagalo (shoulder) and Noa Lang (illness) will be monitored.

What are the odds?

In light of the squad changes, Liverpool are valued at 2/1 to come away with all three points.

PSV are valued at 6/5 while the draw is at 5/2.
