Proper news from Britain - News from Britain you won’t find anywhere else. Not the tosh the big media force-feed you every day!
Pixie Lott has revealed she would love a big family and hasn't ruled out having a third child, despite currently being pregnant with her second.
The pop star, 34, who celebrated son Albert's second birthday on Sunday, told the Daily Mail that parenthood has brought her even closer to model husband Oliver Cheshire, 37, and she loves the idea of expanding their brood even further.
As she nears the final weeks of her pregnancy, Pixie reflected on her body and all it has achieved, adding she's had 'fun' dressing her bump for festivals and photoshoots.
After battling sickness in her first trimester, she says she now has more energy than ever and even with her baby due any day, she's feeling great on her feet.
It comes after the singer shared the secrets to her successful marriage to husband Oliver, who she has been with for 15 years and married to for three.
The couple posed for a new photoshoot, showcasing their stunning home after moving out of London to focus on family life.
Pixie said: 'We only have a few weeks left until the baby is here. I'm on the home stretch now, it could be any day.
'We have been here before, but it also feels like a long time ago since we were in the newborn stage. I also don't know what it's like with two. Even the pregnancy has been completely different with a toddler.
'I tend to go with the flow, but I would love to have a big family. I love that vibe so I wouldn't rule out having a third baby.'
Reflecting on her pregnancy, Pixie added: 'I felt very sick during my first trimester, and I didn't have that during my first at all, which was a lot because I was working as well. I was juggling a lot.
'The second trimester I had a lot of energy, and I was playing festivals, so it went by really quickly.
'Obviously, your body changes so much so it's been fun dressing my bump. It's amazing what the human body does to prepare for a life. I feel really lucky because I have been able to perform at the same time.
'It's helped me along the way. I don't go to the gym or workout but dancing around on stage has been a really good thing.'
Pixie and Oliver first met in 2010 at a Vivienne Westwood event during London Fashion Week and they haven't looked back since.
Unlike many celebrity couples, they keep their romance largely private, with Pixie revealing that prioritising family life and communication is the secret to their lasting love.
Pixie said: 'The secret to our success, you just make it work. Ollie and I first got together 15 years ago, so it's been a long time.
'We got married in 2022, which was three years ago. It's true what they say, getting married is one of the best days of your life and we were on a high for ages.
'We were so young when we got together, we were always in different countries, but we made sure we always stayed connected.
'At first, it was with Blackberry messenger, and then FaceTime, we respect each other's jobs, and we make time.
'That is what we focus on, especially in the world we're in now, date nights, spending time together. It's harder nowadays for obvious reasons.
'It feels like we're partners now because we are in parent territory. We have always been busy people because of our careers and travel but now the priority is Albert, and we work everything around him.'
Like many working mothers, Pixie admits she often struggles to manage the demands of parenthood with her busy schedule.
She added: 'I try and bring Albert to everything but the juggle of everything is definitely a lot, sometimes I feel like I am splitting myself into five different people.
'I get baby brain, but I am so lucky because my mum and dad live close by. He isn't at nursery yet so to have their support, I feel very grateful.'
Pixie and Oliver's at-home photoshoot showcases their new abode, with high decorative ceilings, sleek leather sofas, and rich mahogany floors.
The singer admitted it took years to find their forever home, but when the perfect property appeared, the couple knew it was meant to be.
She said: 'Our home is also a part of our coming-of-age story. We moved out of London and into our first family home.
'We were always in London, for the past 15 years, so it was a big change.
'We had been dreaming of doing the move for a long time and had been looking. We love architecture so really took our time when we were looking. We found the one we really fell in love with.
'The reception area where we mainly spend our time, with the comfy sofa, is my favourite room, we put the fire on and I have my piano there, so sometimes that's where I write my songs too.'
Pixie is already planning her return to the stage after welcoming her second baby.
The singer is not only celebrating the release of her new single, Coming Of Age, which she previewed at festivals over the summer, but for the first time in her career, she is also releasing a Christmas track.
The festive song, still under wraps, will be performed at a special show at London's Union Chapel on December 17, with tickets on sale from Monday, September 29, at 10am.
Fans can expect a magical evening, with Pixie performing her biggest hits including Mama Do and All About Tonight, alongside Christmas classics to get everyone in the festive spirit just a week before the big day.
She said: 'I absolutely love Christmas, and I have never done my own Christmas show before.
'It will be extra special because it will be my first show back after having our second baby, it will be the baby's first Christmas, and I have a Christmas song coming out.
'I am getting festive ready, and I know it's early, but I have already started to watch Christmas films.
'The show is happening at Union Chapel, which is one of my favourite venues. It is a bucket list venue for me. It's beautiful, I love chapels and cathedrals, especially around Christmas.
'I'll be doing all the classics but my own music as well and the new song I have written especially for this Christmas. I want everyone to feel really festive.'
