And now Megan, 32, has hinted at their next milestone as she told her legion of followers that she “wants to tone” ahead of their wedding.

The cooking fanatic posted a video of herself making some pasta and wrote: “Really need to get food in for Sunday roasts sooner wounded that we’re not having one tonight. Left overs it is!!!!!

“Also fyi. To clarify I’m not losing weight I want and need to tone and also I have a pouch belly from my c section scar. So time to get my booty in gear. Can’t wait!”

In the video, she could be heard saying: “I’m trying to be a bit healthy now, because our wedding is coming up.”

Megan said her friend will give her a regime ahead of her wedding as she said: “I know I’m slim but I’m not toned.”

The star also said she doesn’t need to lose weight and wouldn’t do a diet as she grated cheese onto spag bol.

The mum-of-one also spoke about having cellulite and fans praised her honesty, as one wrote: “You are such a breath of fresh air.. more influencers need to take a leaf out of your book.”

It comes days after Megan was forced to slam ‘pathetic’ trolls after her she was ridiculed for ‘leaving her baby to sleep alone.’

The TV star scorned her critics and announced that she is refusing to respond to negative comments from fans.

The new mum was trying to encourage her son Landon to go to sleep on his own and has been sharing videos of their progress.

She said that she wanted him to sleep independently so she could be more productive during the day.

“He needs to be able to go down on his own for a nap, I need to be able to do some things during the day,” she told fans.

After lots of crying, her little one eventually went to sleep – with Megan excitedly exclaiming how proud she was.

Whilst she was met with sympathetic messages of reassurance, she was also criticised for leaving him to cry.

“How do you just watch him cry? Wanting you? Wanting to hug. If you can’t get things done that’s normal with a baby under 6 months. Get help,” one wrote.

“I’m sorry but this is so sad. Over 1 I get it. But this, this right here. I don’t get why people have kids just to let them cry out at months old,” they added.

A second wrote: “You need to educate yourself about how this affects a babies brain. This is not judgement…this is experience and knowledge talking.”

LOVE Island’s next bombshell can be revealed as a gorgeous Casa Amor bombshell from series three.

She’s a true All Star after dating famous YouTuber Jack Maynard since shooting to fame alongside Olivia Attwood and Amber Davies.

Love Island’s next bombshell can be revealed as Danielle Sellers[/caption]

The Sun can reveal that the girl heading in is Danielle Sellers, who made a play for Olivia’s partner Chris Hughes back in 2017.

But since then she’s become a firm favourite among the Islanders and lives in Manchester – so is likely to have crossed paths with current cast like Scott Thomas and Grace Jackson.

Danielle is a former Sun page three girl.

A source said: “Danielle is smoking hot and is the ideal age for Scott as he’s drifting apart from Tina after the explosive Vegas row with Luca.”

Back in 2017, we told how the blonde bombshell had been seeing I’m A Celeb star Jack.

This was despite him growing close to Made in Chelsea star Georgia “Toff” Toffolo while in the jungle.

Jack and Danielle had been seeing each for around seven months and were introduced by Jack’s pop star older brother Conor.

Things are said to be so serious that he spoke to her on the phone the night before he went into the jungle.

A source said: “Jack and Danielle had spent a lot of time together over the past seven months. They’d quietly attended industry events together and made no secret among pals of how close they were.

“Jack has been making it sound like he’s single since he’s been on the show but he’s been saying different things around Danielle.”

That year, she entered the Love Island villa on day 26 as a Casa Amor bombshell.

The beauty was joined by Chyna Ellis, Ellisa-Jade White, Amelia Peters and Shannen McGrath.

Danielle caught the eye of Jonny Mitchell and he chose to recouple with her in the main villa.

However her Love Island stint was very short-lived as she was dumped three days later by Marcel Somerville, who is currently in the All Stars villa.

LEAVING a busy A&E to make saucy videos is not how many people picture their career progression.

However, one woman made this exact move and now rakes in millions of views on adult platforms.

Getty

Adult actress Serenity Cox recalled how she went from work as an A&E nurse to creating saucy videos[/caption]

instagram/serenitycox.official

The content creator, who goes by Serenity Cox, spoke about her experience on the Holly Randall Unfiltered podcast.

She explained that the unexpected pivot in her professional life came after she wanted to spice things up with husband in the bedroom.

Serenity, who had worked for a nurse for 16 years, was based in a trauma centre in Toronto, Canada, at the time.

She revealed that she has been married her husband for eight years, initially starting out as a monogamous couple.

“We’ve always had a really fun sex life but in the last four years, we decided to go down a new path,” the adult star said.

“Over the years that we’ve known each other, our bedroom roleplay always came back to these hot wife themes.

“A hot wife is usually a female partner of a married couple who is encouraged and supported by her husband to go out and have sexual relations with other people.”

The couple would roleplay these scenarios over the years but it wasn’t until the Covid lockdown that they decided to make it a reality.

Using the comfort of social distancing, Serenity eased her way into meeting up with other sexual partners but sexting on dating apps before having “crazy sex” with her husband.

“That was the first step into evolving our sex life into not just role play but involving other forms,” she said.

“I started talking to more and more guys and eventually my husband [told me]: ‘I’m OK if you want to meet up with one of these people that you’ve been talking to for a bit.'”

So in 2020, they officially became a “hot wife couple” with Serenity going out on dates, which she often filmed, and then enjoying sex sessions with her husband when she returned home.

After after a while of taking these “filthy, exciting videos” the couple met friends who were comfortable taking it to the “next level.”

This involved Serenity’s husband being present as a videographer, filming the interactions.

They posted some of their videos online and they gained a lot of traction, which she said “drove the fire to keep on going.”

She described the decision to upload the clips to an adult subscription site as “almost a joke.”

When it became really popular, she dubbed the success to good timing.

They started their own channel on the site and despite making some money, the couple still regarded it as just a hobby.

The couple figured out how to geo-block the people in their area to protect their privacy.

However, their videos soon went viral and people within their social circle found out.

Serenity, who was still working as a nurse at the time, recalled having a “brief moment of panic” at the news coming out from a collegue.

However, she stood her ground when her work advised her to take down the content.

She even joked about how enthusiastic and excited her workplace lawyer was to have something to look into that didn’t involve medical malpractice.

And while she didn’t lose her job over the content, Serenity eventually left her work as producing adult films proved to make more money.

But she shared her wishes to one day return to working in the medical field.

“I don’t think I’ll have difficulty getting back into it, they’re so desperate for nurses, I don’t think they’ll say no,” she said.

Serenity explained that she would like veer away from emergency rooms if she were to return, focusing instead on an area of personal interest.

“I’m always interested in how I can combine the two branches of my life into sexual health,” she said.

The content creator revealed that she volunteers at a sexual health clinic every week to help educate others on how to protect themselves.

And as for her marriage, she said the unexpected path she has taken with her husband from a monogamous marriage to business partners in the adult entertainment industry has helped them.

“We definitely have a stronger bond, we’re just a lot more open with each other about how we’re feeling,” she concluded.

EIGHT in 10 cancer survivors say the illness has given them a new outlook on life – valuing family and time above money and material possessions.

A poll of 500 adults who have had cancer found almost two-thirds (64 per cent) said what they value has changed.

A new poll has found that nearly two-thirds of cancer survivors say they have a fresh outlook on life[/caption]

Before their diagnosis, making sure their family was comfortable (39 per cent) and earning more money (36 per cent) were major motivators.

Now, their focus has shifted more onto family (80 per cent), their health and wellbeing (62 per cent) and experiencing new things in life (48 per cent).

Dr John Burke, chief medical officer at AXA Health, which has commissioned the research and created a practical guide to help those with life after cancer, said: “Serious illness can have an impact on our outlook.

“It can realign what is and isn’t important in life, so it’s only natural there might be changes.

“Family and friends can go a long way in supporting you through the experience along with the guidance of medical professionals who can support you in navigating life during and after treatment.”

Some of the most popular lifestyle changes people have made are walking more (45 per cent), upping their exercise levels (42 per cent) and focusing on their diet (39 per cent).

A significant number (44 per cent) are increasingly likely to seek help from others to deal with tricky challenges than they were prior to their diagnosis – with only seven per cent less inclined now.

And 80 per cent feel better equipped to deal with the difficulties of life since their experience with cancer.

A huge 77 per cent said it was important to rely on others through their journey, with family (73 per cent), medical professionals (56 per cent) and friends (46 per cent) being the people who they relied on the most.

And partners (56 per cent), friends (32 per cent) and mums (31 per cent) were those most impacted by the cancer diagnosis.

Despite the remarkable resilience shown and their ambition to turn a negative into a positive, 70 per cent of those polled are understandably worried about the possibility of cancer returning, the study by OnePoll revealed.

The best pieces of advice from those who have survived cancer include be positive, live every day to the fullest and enjoy the little things in life.

GB para-athlete and cancer survivor, Amy Conroy, said: “The future can feel daunting, and those anxieties are valid. But try to stay in the now, in the present, and try to find gratitude in the smaller things.

“Be proud of yourself and always speak to yourself with kindness.”

Dr John Burke added: “A cancer diagnosis has a huge impact not only on the person affected, but also their friends, family and loved ones.

“It doesn’t always feel over after receiving the ‘all-clear’ so it’s important to have support navigating a new normal, too. That might be help with managing new worries, getting much needed sleep or setting health goals.

“Taking things easy and focusing on the future are ways to make things feel more manageable after undergoing cancer treatment.

“Providing people with support and guidance to navigate this stage of their cancer journey can make a huge difference, helping them to move forward and focus on the things that matter most.”

CLASSIC-winning trainer Hugo Palmer has broken ranks and declared the concept of trainers being paid for TV interviews as a ‘terrible idea’.

Respect, Hugo. Respect.

PA

Michael Owen’s trainer Hugo Palmer thinks it’s ridiculous trainers should get paid to give interviews[/caption]

For those of you that don’t know, a group of trainers – currently unknown but definitely including Dan Skelton – want to be paid for TV interviews during race meetings.

I know, I know. Bonkers. But that’s the truth.

If only trainers knew how I often have to beg – on many different shows – to get them airtime and, in general, promote their business.

Yes THEIR business.

Palmer contacted me after he read a message I put out on X, formerly known as Twitter, over the issue.

“Just read your tweet about trainers’ interviews – you are totally correct,” Palmer said.

“This is an awful situation and a terrible idea. We, as trainers, have an interest, some would say a duty, to do our best to promote the sport.

“We also need to promote ourselves! There are plenty of trainers who pay PR agencies to promote them and get them airtime which rather contradicts this idea doesn’t it?!

“Dan Skelton saying ‘the vast majority of trainers are behind this’ is totally incorrect.”

The trainers gagging for the cash are part of former BHB chairman Peter Savill’s breakaway group the Professional Racing Association (PRA), which has said the boycotting of interviews is not an “idle threat”.

The PRA has contacted media rights company Racecourse Media Group (RMG) on behalf of its membership, which it claims numbers more than 170 and includes many leading jumps trainers, asking for a payment of £500,000 this year in return for agreeing to give interviews from February 1.

The PRA has, we are told, also contacted Sky Sports Racing with a proposal, although it is not known for what amount, while ITV is also aware of the situation.

You might say to yourself that in some sports leading players are paid to talk. It’s the truth.

But racing is different.

Every interview a trainer gives is a potential sell. In other words, it’s their free shop window to promote their stable and their success and allow possible racehorse owners to see their personality and worth.

Imagine any other business that gets free sale advertisements. Every business would bite your arm off for that like a ‘walker’ in the The Walking Dead.

Not racing. Oh my.

Palmer, one of a three-member Presidential Triumvirate of the National Trainers’ Federation, added: “This idea has been dreamt up in desperation as a way to try to fund the PRA. It’s so appallingly naive – if media companies agreed to it, surely it would just be sliced off their media rights budget which in turn racecourses would slice off prize money.”

Savill has said that any argument trainers should just be grateful for the exposure was “laughable”.

He continued: “Imagine a movie producer saying to Leonardo DiCaprio that we won’t pay you, you should be grateful for the exposure we provide.”

With respect, what utter codswallop.

If DiCaprio wasn’t paid he gets nothing.

Trainers are already being paid by owners. Most of the income a trainer has is from the people who send them a horse, in general around £25,000-£30,000 a year per animal.

If just one person watching an interview with a handler eventually sends them a horse, then I think it’s fair to say it was worth the chat!

Paying a trainer to talk about the sport which allows them to exist is clearly crackers.

But just imagine it happens. Presumably if they are paid, part of the contract is that trainers will tell us what we want to know.

And equally would you pay them all the same? A sliding scale for good talkers?

So what would you pay for who?

If the maximum was £100 per interview, here are a few suggestions:

-£5 George Baker. Pays the interviewer for bigging up new Epsom yard and Bahrain.

£5 Dave Evans. Doesn’t really enjoy interviews. Risky!

£30 Rebecca Curtis. No reason needed.

£10 Jamie Osborne. But agrees to inform us which horses he is getting handicapped for Racing League.

£50 Stuart Williams. Promises to give out the one juvenile he will land a punt with on debut in the season ahead.

£100 Chris Gordon. Consistent visits to Ofcom. But entertainment value high.

£75 Charlie Appleby. Tells us the best Godolphin juvenile before they run.

£100 Aidan O’Brien. Reveals which of his runners this year will be the best he has ever trained.

£100 Ralph Beckett. Stable tour and political views crucial for certain podcasts.

£100 John Gosden. Regular fee to talk on anything going wrong in racing.

£20 Robert Cowell. To comment on his continued efforts to look like Bob Baffert.

£10 Charlie Fellowes. To talk about George Scott.

£10 George Scott. To talk about Charlie Fellowes.

£50 Nicky Henderson. For daily updates on Constitution Hill’s dinner plans.

£100 Paul Nicholls. To consistently tell us how good Dan Skelton is and how glad he is that he’s going to become champion.

£100 Sir Mark Prescott. Informs all on the horse or horses he ran over 7f as a juvenile, who are now chucked in the handicap and will run up a sequence over 1m6f as a three-year-old.

£100 Willie Mullins. But has to give away exactly which horses run in which novice at the Cheltenham Festival.

£75 Gordon Elliott. To declare Brighterdaysahead only runs in the Mares.

£50 Dan Skelton. On ulcers. And to tell us what he learnt from Paul Nicholls.

Imagine training for a syndicate. Lots of your owners – many elderly who can’t make it to the track – are watching their horse from home or work.

They hear nothing from their trainer on TV after a win because the handler wants to be paid to talk.

Yep, that’s the way to promote the sport and get new people involved. Well done all. Yeeehaaa!

HERMINIA HELL

Flight tracker Flightaware shows Heathrow has cancelled 26 flights, while another 37 are delayed, affecting up to 4,000 passengers.

A landslip near Darwen, Lancashire, means all National Rail lines are blocked, with trains between Bolton and Blackburn cancelled.

It comes after Calum Carmichael, 19, and Kacper Dudek, 20, were killed by falling trees.

And a 73-year-old British sailor remains missing at sea after his yacht disappeared in stormy weather off the coast of Lacanau on the southwest French coast on Saturday.

Meanwhile, nearly 300,000 homes were left without power over the weekend in Northern Ireland, with suppliers receiving two months’ worth of calls about issues in just two days.

A series of yellow warnings for wind and rain have been issued for large parts of England and Wales with more than 40 flood warnings in place.

After a Met Office warning for rain over parts of Wales and central, southern and northern England, ran until 6am today and there was little respite with much of the same area under a 24-hour warning for strong and gusty winds from the same time.

A warning for periods of heavy rain that could cause some flooding of roads and properties was in place for the West Midlands and most of Wales until 11.59pm on Monday with the Met Office predicting 20mm to 40mm to fall quite widely and 50mm to 70mm on higher ground.

Flooding saw stretches of the A36 and A303 closed in Devon and Wiltshire overnight, while National Rail said services were running normally between Taunton and Castle Cary after flooding.

Most of the 40 flood warnings, where flooding is expected, issued by the Environment Agency cover the south west and south coast, the two warnings issued by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.

Scotland is recovering from the effects of Storm Eowyn.

ScotRail said engineers had made “great progress” in removing debris and repairing damage, but several lines were unlikely to reopen for the start of services on Monday.

The Largs to Adrossan line will not reopen on Monday after an overhead gantry was brough down by a falling tree.

Avanti West Coast said services to and from Glasgow and Edinburgh had resumed, but warned of late starts and possible delays on Scottish routes.

A BEAUTICIAN body-shamed by her millionaire dad for years has won a £125,000 payout to spend on a boob job after being cut from his will.

Pirate radio “legend” Roger Howe died aged 55 in March 2020 after falling from a window.

Her dad Roger wrote his only child out of his will[/caption]

He left behind a £1,447,000 fortune, part of which was tied up in his radio engineering company BW Broadcast FM, but left his only child Jenna Howe out of his will.

A court heard Roger had a “toxic” relationship with his daughter and consistently “belittled” her when she was growing up.

The broadcaster also “called her names” and taunted her in a “nasty” way about her weight.

As a result, the 37-year-old developed bulimia and body dysmorphia and later became estranged from her dad.

When he made his last will in 2017, Roger left his fortune to his mum, Rosina, his sister, Tina Tucker, and his two nephews, Ross and Jamie Tucker.

The dad wrote Jenna out of the will and was “adamant” that she shouldn’t receive a penny – branding her “lazy, grabbing and bad to my parents”.

But Jenna has now been awarded £125,000 after taking the battle to Central London County Court.

The sum includes a £75 weekly “maintenance” payment for the next ten years to help Jenna get by and help wipe her debts and pay for replacement breast implants.

The court was told Jenna’s life had been ruined by Roger’s heartless neglect and cruelty throughout her childhood.

She suffered with drug addiction and is currently “destitute”, it was said.

Judge Mark Raeside said: “Throughout her life, she has been self-conscious about her body and I am quite satisfied that this should be paid for by the estate.

“She has had a body problem ever since she was a young child”.

The court heard that during Jenna’s childhood and teens, Roger consistently “belittled” his only child and taunted her about her weight.

On occasions, the “disciplinarian” dad would weigh his daughter in front of their lodger and even when she developed an eating disorder, he continued to “pick on her”.

Jenna said: “He was really nasty about my weight and talked about me calling me names, and was horrible to me.”

The court heard Jenna suffered with body dysmorphia, which caused her to get breast implants.

Her lawyer James McKean argued she should be awarded the cash to cover the cost of more surgery to replace these implants.

Jenna also told how her life “spiralled out of control” after she began taking drugs and that her dad did little to help her get back on track.

She said she had tried to reconcile with her dad over the years as she “longed for a relationship” and was badly rocked by his death.

Giving his ruling, the judge said: “The view I have come to is that, in the exercise of my discretion, a lump sum award should be made in her favour from the estate to meet Jenna’s present and future financial needs in light of her mental condition, which has driven most of those needs.”

He described Jenna’s finances as “precarious,” saying she still has heavy debts left over from a previous court clash with her relatives.

The effects of her mental conditions have made work almost impossible, the judge ruled as he said she now deserves a weekly income of £75 to keep her head above water.

He added: “She is only just getting by and has a right to maintenance.

“This is a case where she wishes to improve herself and this will no doubt help.”

Roger Howe was known as a technical genius in the field of radio transmitting equipment and was just eight years old when he built his own transistor radio.

By 15, he was building complex AM and FM transmitters, which he continued to develop throughout his time in school and into the beginning of his career.

At just 16 years old, he was making rigs for London pirate radio stations, including JFM, a specialist jazz funk station.

In his later years, he used his expertise to build a successful business which exported equipment all over the world and made him a millionaire by the time of his death.

THE HEATED rivalry between Manchester United star Lisandro Martinez and Fulham ace Adama Traore has been extended.

Martinez, 27, and Traore, 29, locked horns on Sunday’s Premier League clash between United and the Cottagers at Craven Cottage.

That was the second meeting between the two teams after August’s Prem opener at Old Trafford that saw Man Utd prevailing with a score of 1-0 thanks to Joshua Zirkzee’s winner.

Martinez and Traore posed as a key flashpoint following some intense challenges on the pitch.

And at some point the centre-back’s 5’9″ frame somehow managed to overpower his heavyweight Fulham opponent off the ball in the first half.

The Argentina international then went on to rub it in with a cheeky statement during a post-match interview.

Martinez said: “I sent him back to the gym. I learned from the first one where he killed me, I killed him back. He is difficult to play against and I learned from the first situation.”

Traore caught wind of the Argentine’s comments and hit back on social media.

The winger posted a pic of himself training and tagged Martinez with an ominous warning and a winky-face emoji.

Traore posted: “Don’t worry we will meet again.”

The ex-Wolves star kept his promise as he got the better out of some more intense challenges with Martinez, who at some point went in two footed on his much larger opponent.

The Spaniard took a swipe out of the defender on social media with a cheeky snap.

It showed the forward walking back to his half with the Man Utd ace left on the floor writhing in pain following a clash between them.

Traore posted the following casual caption on Instagram: “Tough loss. We deserved more, but we will keep working hard and improving.”

Nevertheless, Martinez got the last laugh on the latest chapter of their saga as he scored the winner on 78 minutes to lead United to an important 1-0 victory in west London.

A CASUALTY child star looked unrecognisable at Paris Fashion Week – but do you know who they are?

The hit BBC One medical drama has paved the way for a number of huge names, and this rising star is no different.

The star looked a far cry from her character in the medical drama[/caption]

Casualty’s Emily Carey – who played Grace Beauchamp-Strachan on the long-running show – looked a far cry from their character in the French capital

The star showed off chic style as they attended the Patou Menswear Fall-Winter 2025/2026 show at Paris Fashion Week.

Emily – who played the daughter of Connie Beauchamp and Sam Strachan – looked stylish in a burnt orange oversized blazer and matching trousers with a blue shirt.

They completed the look with white heels and a bright orange Le Petit Patou bag.

Emily’s Casualty character Grace, became the centre of some of the show’s most biggest storylines.

This included a horrific car accident that left them with a life-threatening subdural haematoma.

Their character also had a brief romance with a paramedic Leon Cook, after convincing him that they were an older med student.

Meanwhile, Casualty returned to our screens this month and with it came a new recruit.

Sexy Beast star Naomi Wakszlak now plays the role of Indie Jankowski, who is a new student paramedic at Holby City Hospital.

While she’s very much a junior, Indie is a force to be reckoned with and isn’t shy about making her mark.

Speaking about joining Casualty, Naomi said: “It’s a huge honour to work on BBC’s Casualty and join the incredible cast and crew here in making one of the UK’s best-loved series.

“I hope you’ll all love Indie as much as I do!”

Meanwhile, Roxane Harvey, Casualty’s executive producer said: “Naomi is an emerging talent who brings depth and authenticity to the role, seamlessly capturing Indie’s determination and drive to prove herself in a demanding environment.

“As Indie navigates her professional journey, viewers will witness her growth as a paramedic and the relationships she forms with colleagues, her boss Jan and patients.”

It comes after fans were reduced to tears as the drama’s Christmas special centred around the miracle of blood.

The episode featured real accounts from bereaved family members and those who survived thanks to blood donations.

LOVE Island legend Laura Anderson insisted she’s not being “tone deaf” after complaining about a business class flight with her young daughter.

The former flight attendant travelled to Dubai with Bonnie, one, and documented the journey through the airport and on the flight in an Instagram video.

Laura had her hands full from start to finish, skipping picking up a coffee because she simply didn’t haver a free hand or cup holder to store it.

Things were much comfier on bard the plane, however Bonnie still kept her on her toes.

Laura revealed the youngster “s**t herself” shortly after having some orange juice and nearly fell from a seat too.

In their private booth, Laura emptied toys onto a bed to keep her entertained and stuck a film on while she watch Anchorman.

She did her best to stem the potential for criticism about being “tone deaf” by adding a disclaimer to the post that began with her declaring: “I am aware sitting in business class is a privilege if someone chooses to do so.”

However, some followers’ sympathy still only went so far, with one commenting: “my heart bleeds for you Laura.”

While others compared their own flight nightmares with kids while fling in economy.

One said: “You should try cattle class with a child, I feel for anyone having to travel with children trying to keep them occupied in a confined space, you had room, she did well Laura x.”

Others defended the star, with one writing: “You do you, no need for justification. People do not need to follow you or read your posts they can scroll on by!”

Another said: “The fact that you felt you had to explain your choice is what’s wrong with society. You have absolutely every right to travel first class with or without a child. Travelling with children is hellish at the best of times, if there is something you can do to make life easier then do it!! All of us would if we had the pennies you go girl!!”

Laura replied to one fan and admitted she had a very different experience on a flight last year.

She said: “I flew Jet2 in the summer it was only 4hrs though and my mum was with me so we cried altogether while Bonnie threw her food at everyone.”

The mum-of-one explained that she upgraded because she saves money on accommodation by staying with her sister in the Middle Eastern city.

She said: “I would be happy to sit in economy if I had another adult travelling with me. A babies cry does seem somewhat more embarrassing in a premium cabin which is great.”

The reality star then explained how the extra space was helpful for solo parents travelling with kids and that families are welcome in the pricier part of the plance.

Revealing her tips for upgrading, she wrote: “You can do online in advance, at check in, at the gate or onboard with money or miles all prices are different. Of course the later you leave it there’s a chance it might be full. My crew mates always check for me the loads.”
