Isabel had a particularly awkward encounter with a fan at the gym (Picture: Instagram/isabelhodgins/adamwhitehead13)
Asking a woman about a pregnancy she hasn’t explicitly confirmed is an absolute no-no, but just that happened to Emmerdale’s Isabel Hodgins.
Isabel and partner Adam Whitehead recently welcomed their beautiful baby, a daughter named Georgie Grace, who was born on February 11.
Taking to Instagram, the two announced the birth with a reel, showing Isabel in the throes of labour, before cutting to an adorable black and white snap of her cuddling her brand new bundle of joy just a few weeks later.
Amid keeping fans up to date on her mothering journey, Isabel recently shared a further reel, detailing her return to the gym that was flooded with warm and supportive comments.

@sandrahicks839 commented: ‘Isabel, you are an amazing mum and mother, I think its wonderful that you want to do this, take your time, because this is your time now, lots of love from a big fan.’ @lorrainewilson7874 added: ‘Go mama. Slow and steady though. Your body grew a wee human and birthed her’
@janette.adair.31 said: ‘Go girl go…you are smashing motherhood, take care small steps’, while @ajd2701 wrote: ‘You look fab, I remember having my son and I decided I wanted to be fit and healthy so I could play football with him, run around and play all the silly games he wanted to’.

Not all of her interactions were as soft and sweet, though.
Isabel took to Instagram and posted a selfie to her story, captioned: ‘Had someone come up to me in the gym today and ask when I’m due…slightly awkward for both of us when I said I had her 7 weeks ago.’

Big no-no.
Fans, as ever, flooded the post to support the new mum: ‘Happened to me! Awkward! But I smiled! It was there for a very good reason’, said one, with another adding: ‘Oh my goodness I’ve done that!! I was very embarrassed.’

Isabel has been incredibly active on social media, detailing her new reality as a mum, with fans loving the super sweet content she shares.
Last week, Isabel created an adorable reel, taking fans through a morning with Georgie, captioned: ‘Mornings with my little miss’.

Giving viewers an insight into her new daily routine, Isabel showed her gorgeous daughter wriggling on the bed, plenty of nappy changes, feeding and a couple of outfit swaps.
A host of Isabel’s co-stars flooded the comment section with kind words and lovely messages, with Danny Miller, who plays brother in law, Aaron Dingle, said: ‘Oh hello!!’, to which Isabel replied with a slew of laughing face emojis.
Lawrence Robb, who plays Mackenzie Boyd, wrote: ‘Song choice’, with clapping emojis, while Laura Norton, who plays Kerry Wyatt added: ‘Unreal’.
With Isabel celebrating her first mothers day this year, Adam curated a beautiful tribute on Instagram for her, posting a carousel of images, alongside a heartfelt caption.

‘Your first Mother’s Day,’ he began.
‘As if I didn’t already think you were amazing…but watching you become Georgie’s mum has opened my eyes even more. The love, patience and strength you show every day is incredible. We’re so lucky you’re ours.’
Emmerdale viewers recently saw Isabel’s alter-ego, Victoria Sugden, decide to head to Portugal for a fresh start with step-mum, Diane Sugden (Elizabeth Estensen) and son Harry, after the guilt of killing half-brother, John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth), and blackmail from Joe Tate (Ned Porteous), saw her give up her share of farmland to him.
It comes as multiple professional dancers are set to leave the BBC dance show ahead of the 2026 series
Carlos Gu has said the stars of Strictly Come Dancing are like ‘a family’ as multiple professional dancers are set to leave the show ahead of the 2026 series.

While not asked directly about the departures, the reigning champion, who lifted the coveted Glitterball trophy with former footballer Karen Carney during the final of the BBC One dance show’s 2025 series, has spoken for the first time since a number of departures were announced.
With months to go until Strictly 2026, a number of professional dancers have been confirmed to be leaving the long-running entertainment show, which is also looking for new hosts after Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman said their goodbyes to Strictly at the end of the last series back in December.
Last week, Michelle Tsiakkas was flooded with support as she confirmed her axe from the long-running entertainment show. The professional dancer, who joined the BBC One dance contest back in 2022, was rumoured to be among those set to leave the popular programme this year.
The rumours were further fuelled when she pulled out of the upcoming tour, which, as mentioned, will see a number of the show’s pro dancers hit the road this April and May for a string of shows, including two performances in Salford, at The Lowry Lyric Theatre, and four performances at the London Palladium.

Michelle’s exit announcement came after it was first revealed that Karen Hauer and Nadiya Bychkova will be leaving Strictly. Karen announced last weekend that she was leaving the show after 14 years, marking the end of her reign as the longest-serving professional, and days later, Nadiya announced her departure after nine years. Then, Luba Mushtuk also confirmed her departure from the show.
Speaking to the Mirror, Carlos said when asked about the friendships made on Strictly: “We’re honestly a family, we always check in on each other. I have a few very close friends like Amy [Dowden], Katya [Jones] and Nikita [Kuzmin]. The work can be hard, but if you have great people around you, with brilliant energy, it makes the job a lot easier. The judges are great, too. I’ve known Shirley [Ballas] and Motsi [Mabuse] for over two decades, because they used to compete.”
He was also asked about the hosts vacancy, and whether it’s a role he could fulfil: “Ha ha, I could never be a host. But I do like judging – in the nicest possible way – so maybe I’d make a good judge one day.

“Tess [Daly] and Claudia [Winkleman] were iconic, irreplaceable almost, but the show carries on. I’d like it if we could go back to when the show first started with Bruce Forsyth and have one male, one female. I like that combo. Janette [Manrara] and Aljaž [Škorjanec] would be my top choice.”
The actor, 42, played Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), later reprising the role alongside Tom Holland’s iteration of the character in the 2021 crossover movie Spider-Man: No Way Home.
It has been speculated that Garfield could again team up with Holland in the new film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set to hit cinemas in July.

Appearing on Capital FM’s Breakfast Show this week, Garfield was presented with a still from the Brand New Day trailer, in which Holland’s Spider-Man is seen jumping at a group of enemies.
Fans had speculated that the large empty space under Holland’s character would, in the final film, be filled with other incarnations of the character. (In the past, Marvel Studios has been known to edit shots in trailers to conceal the inclusion of certain surprise characters.)

Garfield described the suggestion as a “bit of a reach, to be honest”.
“Like, what do you mean there’s room for other characters? It’s literally just space underneath Spider-Man,” he said.

“There’s room for more characters in every frame of the film, probably.”
When pressed on the subject, Garfield continued to downplay the suggestion – while noting his own refusal to deny that he would feature in the film.
“This is absolutely ludicrous, conspiracy-theory-level attempt at investigative journalism,” Garfield joked, adding: “You notice that I didn’t say I’m not in it, though.”

While the involvement of Garfield – and original Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire – is yet to be confirmed, the trailer for Brand New Day gave fans a glimpse at many of the characters returning to the franchise.
This includes Zendaya’s “MJ” Jones-Watson, and Ned Leeds, played by Jacob Batalon. The film will follow on from the events of No Way Home, in which everyone in the world had Peter Parker’s secret identity wiped from memory.

Mark Ruffalo will appear as his long-running Marvel character Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, while Jon Bernthal will play Frank Castle (aka Punisher), a character he previously played on his own TV series.
Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) is also set to appear in the film, playing a character rumoured to be X-Men’s Jean Grey.

The town also has regular markets with a wide range of items on offer
It’s not just our university and stunning architecture that we’re known for here in Cambridgeshire, we also have some pretty great places to live. Several Cambridgeshire towns have grown in popularity in recent years as more affordable places for London commuters to live – and let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to live here?

One of these towns is St Neots in the beautiful Huntingdonshire countryside. With the idyllic River Great Ouse running alongside and stretches of breath-taking countryside nearby, the town is attractive to nature lovers as well. These two factors combined make it an ideal place to live.
St Neots Railway Station connects the town to London King’s Cross, Peterborough, Horsham via London Bridge, Redhill, and Gatwick Airport. A train from St Neots to King’s Cross takes under an hour, so it’s the perfect location for commuters who want a slower pace of life.
St Neots is also only a 10-minute drive from Paxton Pits Nature Reserve, which is a beautiful 78-hectare nature area of lakes, meadows and woodland. The reserve has accessible trails that are popular with dog walkers and a visitor centre where you can indulge in a coffee or ice cream after a walk.
You will also find Grafham Water, about 15 minutes from town, which is a reserve known for its incredible views and walks. It is England’s third-largest reservoir and has a nine-mile track where visitors can ride a bike or take a gentle stroll.

According to Huntingdonshire District Council, St Neots is “the county’s fastest growing town”. It has a population of over 30,000 people.
It even has its own market, which has been hosted at St Neots Market Square since the 12th century. There is the Charter Market every Thursday and a farm and craft market on the second and fourth Saturday of each month.
At the farm and craft market, you can find everything from locally reared meat, poultry and game to chutneys, pickles and preserves. There are also plants, flowers, handmade soaps, cards, textiles and wooden crafts on offer.
Military planes – believed to be US Marine Corps Super Hercules – have now been spotted at Glasgow Airport.
Two US military planes have been spotted touching down at Glasgow Airport amid the war with Iran. The conflict has been raging on since February 28 when the United States and Israel launched a series of brutal strikes against Iran.

Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and several other Iranian officials were killed in the initial strikes. Iran later responded with missile and drone strikes against Israel, US bases and other allied countries in the Middle East.
Military planes – believed to be US Marine Corps Super Hercules – have now been spotted at Glasgow Airport. Photographs, supplied from passengers ready to jet off on their holidays, show the two aircrafts on the tarmac yesterday afternoon.
This comes after US President Donald Trump threatened to bomb Iran’s bridges and power plants on social media. On his Truth Social page, Trump ordered Iran to “open the f**kin’ Strait [of Hormuz]” – through which around a fifth of the world’s oil and gas transits – or otherwise face hell.
US military planes were also seen last month at the Scottish Government-owned Prestwick Airport – which has previously been a major hub for American forces jetting across the Atlantic. US Air Force cargo planes and massive C-17 Globemaster planes, as well as two C-130 Hercules from the Canadian Air Force, were pictured on the runway within days.
In February, our sister title, The Sunday Mail, revealed that US military flights had landed at Prestwick Airport 550 times in just 10 months. First Minister John Swinney followed this by saying he would consider banning US air force flights landing at the airport.
He said: “UK Government actions must be about de-escalating the situation, and I am also actively looking at what the Scottish Government can do to de-escalate the situation, including seeking urgent clarification from the UK Government about the military use of Prestwick Airport.”
Scottish Greens external affairs spokesperson Patrick Harvie previously welcomed Swinney’s comment that he would consider banning the US military from using Prestwick.
He said: “There is frankly no need to wait till he has details on the precise missions of specific flights – information he may never get. If he accepts that the war is illegal, which he seems to, then he should be doing the responsible thing and blocking US forces now.
“There is no excuse for letting Donald Trump’s military use Prestwick as a base for his aggression. When US forces are using government-owned airports at the rate they are, then it is clearly providing assistance to operations that the First Minister knows to be illegal and profoundly dangerous.
“The Spanish government has already blocked the US military, and we should be doing the same.”

Prestwick Airport was previously used to welcome Air Force One during President Donald Trump’s visit to Scotland. It was also used by Vice President JD Vance during his visit.

Last month, Keir Starmer agreed to a request to allow US planes to use British military bases to strike Israeli sites. But the UK Prime Minister said the UK “will not join offensive action” in Iran, adding: “We all remember the mistakes of Iraq and we have learned those lessons.”
Glasgow Airport and the Scottish Government have been approached for comment.

In a small polishing room off the Old Kent Road in south London, a young man stands in a haze of aluminium dust. His overalls are worn, the air heavy, the machinery far older than he is. Yet there is calm in the way he occupies the space, as if he understands its rhythm better than anyone.
This is Benjamin Bryde, an aluminium tray polisher at Kaymet, a manufacturer where metal is turned into objects that end up in some of the most refined rooms in the world.
Benjamin describes his craft with a directness that mirrors the work itself. “I’m a metal polisher from south London, specialising in refining aluminium surrounds for trays. My work focuses on achieving a flawless finish, ensuring every piece is smooth, clean and free from dents. It’s all about precision, craftsmanship and bringing out the best in the metal.”

It’s a quiet job, repetitive on the surface, but rooted in skill and discipline. Watching him at work makes the idea of a handmade city feel real.
The photograph is part of a new series by Orlando Gili, who has spent months documenting the makers who still give the Old Kent Road – once known for being the first, and cheapest, tile on the Monopoly board – its industrial backbone. “This series celebrates London’s artisans and craftspeople – individuals who make their living through skill, precision and the art of working with their hands,” he says.
“In a world that’s increasingly defined by screens and automation, this series turns its focus to the people and trades that remain grounded in the physical, material realm – the makers whose expertise and creativity sustain a vital part of the city’s identity. This project aims to highlight the beauty of craftsmanship, and the enduring value of manual labour in an age of digitisation.”
The industrial environment in which they are crafted makes for a striking contrast to the refined places they end up
Kaymet became Gili’s entry point to the neighbourhood’s hidden workshops including London Stone Carving – one of the last commercial sculpture workshops in the city, and heritage marble specialists Diespeker & Co.

There was something about Kaymet’s polishing room that caught him immediately. “I was drawn to the polishing room, thick with dust, desaturating every surface. I lit and photographed Benjamin, aluminium tray polisher by day and musician by night, in a small window before work recommenced after a tea break.”
Kaymet has been producing trays since 1947, with its crisply tactile products stocked in stores like Harrods and used everywhere from the Royal Yacht to the kitchens of Michelin-starred restaurants including The Ledbury. “The industrial environment in which they are crafted makes for a striking contrast to the refined places they end up,” says Gili. “Showing the process allows viewers to appreciate the craft, and the people behind the product.”
The photograph stands as a reminder that London still makes things, and that the people who make them matter.

Having posted runner-up finishes in each of the past two seasons – he was second to Xander Schauffele at the 2024 Open at Royal Troon before falling to McIlroy’s play-off birdie in the Masters a year ago – the majors are his priority.
There’s an Open at Royal Birkdale in July, the venue where he announced himself by chipping in at the last to finish fourth as a 17-year-old amateur in 1998. But the Masters has extra resonance given his remarkable record there.
He has been runner-up three times, having shared second place with Phil Mickelson behind Jordan Spieth in 2015.
A record five times, including last year, he has held the first-round lead and on nine occasions has led or jointly led the game’s most glamorous tournament.

No golfer is owed anything by any venue or any tournament, but Rose is as entitled as anyone to call in some Augusta favours. Last year it was a three over par third round that proved his undoing.
He partnered Bryson DeChambeau, who played himself into the final pairing with McIlroy while Rose went backwards after holding the halfway lead with opening rounds of 65 and 71.
“I actually played way better than Bryson that day, but his short game was great,” Rose told me. “He turned a 75 into 69 and I turned 69 into 75.
“It was one of those days when you come off and realise you’ve given away too many cheap ones. I did live to rue that for sure.

“I had to pick myself up. I had to change my mindset coming into Sunday, reframe everything and not make it about the tournament, just make it about Augusta National.
“I had to remember how special Sunday is there no matter what position you are in. I played with a lot of gratitude on that Sunday which put me in a nice free mindset which obviously led to some great golf.”
While McIlroy was travelling on one of golf’s most dramatic rollercoaster rides, Rose slotted putt after putt, especially on the inward half. “Ten birdies on a Sunday at Augusta was seriously amazing golf,” said Rose.
“Holing that birdie putt on 18 to give myself a chance and then two great swings in the play-off.”

He was inches from making birdie in the shootout, unlucky that his ball did not tumble down the slope to the hole-side in the same way as McIlroy’s approach managed to do.
“That will provide good memories for me and a positive experience as much as it stings,” Rose said.
Ultimately the moment belonged to McIlroy, but Rose won plaudits not just for his golf but his gracious sportsmanship, embracing the victor despite the huge disappointment of yet another near miss.
“People were really kind to me after that,” Rose said. “I was just voicing how I felt.

“I had learned a lot from the 2017 play-off. I controlled what I felt like I could control. I made good swings. I executed under the pressure and sometimes you can’t make the ball do exactly what you want it to do.
“But you know if you’ve done a good job or not. So I think because of that I was able to be happy for Rory in the moment. And obviously to witness history, separate yourself from your emotions for a moment, it was a cool arena to be in.”
This will be Rose’s 21st attempt at Augusta. How fitting it would be this Sunday if he were he to find a way to come of age as a Masters champion.
