Health watchdog NICE has revealed a “landmark” initiative today to vastly improve the care of those exposed to alcohol in the womb.Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) affects around 3% of the UK population - three times as many as autism - yet more than half of Brits (53%) have NEVER heard of it.FASD is a neurodevelopmental condition that arises from alcohol exposure in the womb, with 428 associated conditions linked to “devastating consequences” - from brain damage to physical and developmental issues.Today, The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) said that any child thought to have been exposed should be given an assessment.Any child confirmed to have been exposed should be sent for a neurodevelopmental assessment, and those confirmed to have FASD should be given a management plan for their needs.It also said women should be given early advice not to drink in their pregnancy, and have their alcohol consumption noted on records.This is part of a 20-year fight by campaigners and families living with FASD, who feel they have been largely “unsupported”.The spokeswoman for National Organisation for FASD, Joanna Buckard, said: “The NICE Quality Standard is a major leap forward in the fight to reduce alcohol-exposed pregnancies by giving women the information and support they need and, vitally, to create brighter futures for those with FASD and their families.“Too many people with FASD up to now have been left undiagnosed and unsupported, with sometimes devastating and avoidable consequences.”Professor Raja Mukherjee, who heads the FASD National Specialist Clinic and was on the NICE Quality Standard Committee, said: “FASD is a complex condition which affects brain and body.“There are over 428

Loose Women is known for its fair share of arguments - and there have been plenty to choose from over the years.Presenter and actor Denise Welch is not short of having an opinion or two on the ITV show and has been involved a couple of heated discussions since joining the panel.This week Denise and Coleen Nolan clashed over banning Valentine's Day cards in schools.Denise said: "I doubt if we did a survey that not getting a Valentine's card would be a cause [of poor mental health], I think there's far more practical ways of looking after mental health than banning cards." In recent years she has caused a bit of controversy by claiming the media have been "fear-mongering" during the coronavirus pandemic."Everything that I do is trying to find a parity between how we deal with physical illness and how we deal with mental illness on the same level," she said.Not scared to voice her opinion, we have taken a look at some of the standout moments of Denise's time on Loose Women.Denise has previously shared her inspiring story of the time she decided to stop drinking, finding the booze in her life "destructive".Carol McGiffin then explained that she doesn't think she would be able to stop, prompting Denise to say she thinks her friend drinks "too much".Denise said: "It’s not just about hangovers, you have had breast cancer as well and I think that you should not drink as much because you’ve had that.

Loose Women star Coleen Nolan has revealed she was tricked by her boyfriend in a Valentine's Day surprise.The Celebrity Big Brother winner has been dating her current beau Michael Jones since last year.During the latest episode of the ITV daytime show, Coleen revealed she had plans to spend Valentine's Day alone after she was told by Michael that he wouldn't be able to make it to London to see her.However, a delighted Coleen confirmed that Michael had been bluffing and turned up after all.Coleen said: "I was sitting outside having a cup of tea, contemplating being on my own on Valentine's Day and thinking, 'he's definitely going to be single at the end of this'."I looked up and this guy was walking towards me and I looked back down and I must have looked up about five times and it still didn't register until the last minute that there he was and he turned up to surprise me." She added: "He told me was working and apparently, he's had it planned for ages."Honestly, it was the loveliest, loveliest surprise."After dating in secret for a number of months, Coleen and Michael went public with their romance in January.The pair met online last year after Coleen was encouraged to match on a dating app with Michael by her Loose Women co-star, Brenda Edwards.Of the surprise, Coleen confirmed she 'upended the table' she was sitting at in shock when Michael unexpectedly appeared.She said: "The guy I was sitting next to, I went from being really quiet and looking at my phone to literally nearly upending the table when I realised it was him."I jumped up screaming and this guy was like, 'woh'."God, it was a fabulous day.

Eastenders star Shane Richie, who proposed to her just before tucking into McDonald's."He just said, ‘Shall we get engaged then, or what?’" Coleen recalled his less than suave technique.“The first thing we did was go for a McDonald’s - renowned for its intimate atmosphere - before finding a branch of H Samuel and buying an engagement ring for about a 100 quid.“Not exactly Romeo and Juliet, is it?”She added: "I’d always had visions of him getting down on one knee, a rose between his teeth, somewhere like Paris or Venice.“Not upright in flaming Uxbridge with a McDonald’s around the corner!"Despite not quite receiving the red carpet treatment from Shane, the 56-year-old revealed in her brand new book, Live, Laugh, Love, that he still made her "giddy" and that she still accepted with great delight when Shane popped the question.Taking a jokey swipe at his youthful lack of experience in how to woo her, the twice-divorced star added: “I was quite young when I married Shane and his proposal would have put Rudolph Valentino to shame...“[However] I was just 21 when we got engaged and, despite the lack of moonlight and roses, I was giddy with excitement. We both were."Recalling that the pair were "head over heels in love" at the time, Coleen revealed: “It was who I was with that mattered, not where we were or whether he was down on one knee."At that moment in time, the only person I wanted to be with was Shane and, to be perfectly honest with you, he could probably have put a Hula Hoop on my finger in a pub car park and I’d have gushed, ‘Oh, yes, please!’“Listen to me, getting all gooey-eyed.

Loose Women presenters Denise Welch and Coleen Nolan went head to head as they got into a heated debate about whether schools should intervene with Valentine's Day cards being exchanged between kids during school time.
