The Inbetweeners’ Hannah Tointon gives birth to first child with fiance and co-star Joe Thomas
Our favourite real life couple from The Inbetweeners have become parents with Hannah Tointon and Joe Thomas welcoming their first child together. Hannah, 34, and Joe, 38, met and fell in love on set of the cult classic Channel 4 series in 2010, in which they played on-screen boyfriend and girlfriend Simon and Tara, and have been together since. The couple typically keep their relationship out of the spotlight which is why it has no doubt come as a surprise to fans that, not only was Hannah secretly pregnant, but she’s already given birth without announcement. Hannah’s sister and former EastEnders actress Kara kindly spilled the beans while appearing on Ashley James’ Mum’s The Word podcast recently. ‘My sister’s just had her first,’ she announced. Just in case you were wondering if Kara was referring to another sister, Hannah is in fact her only sibling. Sharing brand new information about the new parents’ pregnancy journey, she continued: ‘What’s funny is that on Joe’s side there’s only boys, even during the scan they accidentally said “he” at one point, so they’d gone along thinking it’s a boy. ‘Everyone playing the shape game etc said she’s having a boy, so when they eventually had a boy, it was really brilliant, but it knocked them for six.’ ‘So they hadn’t even decided on a girls’ name, they left it as a surprise,’ Kara added. Hannah and Joe moved in together in 2012, two years after meeting on The Inbetweeners, and got engaged in 2017 with Joe popping the question. In 2018, Joe shared an insight into how he and Hannah approached working together on their film The Festival, which was released that year, while also being in a long-term relationship. ‘I’ve just got used to it, she’s just in everything because my brain

Beyoncé surprises absolutely no one as Renaissance takes rightful place at number one in the charts
She’s done it! Beyonce has claimed her fourth UK number one album with Renaissance – but missed out on the number one single.The Queen returned with a bang last month as she released her eagerly-awaited seventh studio album – her first since 2016’s Lemonade.It has enjoyed absolutely massive acclaim from both her fans and the critics, and this popularity has now culminated in Renaissance hitting the top spot in the charts.And that’s not all: so successful is the house music album that it outsold its closest competition three to one, despite being hit by certain controversies.However, despite the stunning success of Renaissance, Beyoncé’s lead single Break My Soul failed to break the top spot.It reached number two on the singles chart following tough competition from Afraid To Feel by LF System.Break My Soul is Beyoncé’s highest-charting solo song since If I Was A Boy, which topped the charts and took over the airwaves in 2008 – a whopping 14 years ago.She did, however, get to number one as a featured artist thanks to Lady Gaga’s Telephone in 2010.Break My Soul has yet to have a music video attached to it, though the music icon did tease fans with a ‘cliquebait’ trailer for the upcoming video.In a newly released four-minute 30 seconds visual, Beyoncé starred for just 20 seconds at the start, while the remainder of the video featured a black screen with the album’s name.While her appearance was short it was certainly sweet as the music icon still managed to make a big impact by wearing a risque silver body harness that just about protected her modesty, strappy silver heels, smokey eye shadow and bright red lipstick.There’s plenty more success to come from Queen Bey in the nearfuture however, with fan-favourites Cuff It and

Tina Fey claims Kevin Spacey ‘hit on her’ at Saturday Night Live after-party
Tina Fey has opened up about the moment that Kevin Spacey ‘hit on her’ during a Q&A session.The 30 Rock actress was taking part in an ‘In Conversation’ event as part of the Netflix Is A Joke festival in LA over the weekend, and was joined by close pal Amy Poehler.In the segment, held at the YouTube Theater on Saturday, they picked audience questions from a bowl and had a chat through them.Diving right in, the first question posed to the pair was, ‘Who is the most random person to hit on you’.Parks and Recreation star Poehler joked that John McCain made a move, to which her co-host replied: ‘You’re sort of his type. An Arizona blonde.’Recalling her own bizarre experience, Fey continued: ‘This is the kind of weird thing that used to happen to me…‘One time when he was hosting SNL, at the after-party, it was late and Kevin Spacey tried to hit on me.‘I was like, “Who is this for? Who is this little performance for?” she asked.She did not go into further details on the incident, but Spacey hosted SNL twice – once in 1997 and for the second time in 2006.The former House of Cards actor was accused of sexual harassment and improper behavior by multiple men in 2017.Following the allegations, which he has refuted, he came out as gay in a lengthy statement in October of that year.He has kept a low profile since the claims emerged, but was pictured filming in Turin last June, for Italian film L’uomo che disegnò Dio (The Man who drew God).Elsewhere in the In Conversation session, Fey also reflected on the time she tried to set Poehler up with James Marsden at a drunken afterparty.‘You were newly single, and I knew he was newly single,’ she told her Mean Girls co-star in front of a packed audience.
