Adele Roberts Big Brother

Adele was one of the original housemates and RAPPED in her audition tape saying why she deserved a place. Bold move. She was popular with her fellow housemates but sadly not with the voting public and was booted out with 62% of the vote on day 43. Still, what a stint.

A bone fide Big Brother success story, Adele is a DJ on Radio 1's Early Breakfast Show. We don't envy her the 4am starts though. Ouch. In November 2019, Adele became an I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! campmate.

Kate has always been outspoken about her decision not to have children but launched her podcast with hubby Martin AKA Boj last summer, which explores “What happens when a woman who’s always known she doesn’t want children starts to wonder if she might want kids after all?”

Speaking to Hello! magazine about changing her mind, Kate said, "I have never felt more ready.

“For a lot of my life I did feel pressurised and I wasn't ready. You have to do what's right for you. I think I am going to be a much happier person knowing that I did this when I wanted to.

“I turned 40 in May and suddenly I felt grown up and like I was ready for something and I didn't know what it was. We realised we would have to start trying straight away to avoid having a newborn at the wedding. So we did. We gave it one shot. And it happened!"

Hubby-to-be Martin, added, “It didn't feel real because it was something I have wanted for so long and she always told me it wasn't going to happen. I was very happy, but also kind of blown away."
