OPENING her eyes in the post-op recovery ward, groggy from the anaesthetic, Amy Kane, 35, put a hand to her belly. It took a moment for the mum-of-three to realise the 6lb apron of loose skin (the weight of a newborn) that she had to stuff into her pants had disappeared. Then, touching her chest, she realised her ‘granny boobs’ - which she described as “long floppy socks with golf balls in the end” - had gone too.

Looking in the mirror, Vicky quickly checks every inch of her body, ensuring it’s the deepest possible shade of mahogany brown, then smiles when the salon receptionist exclaims at the depth of her tan.

Sitting in the middle of the chaos is Garry, also 39, proudly showing off his creation. But it’s not shelves - instead it’s a kids’ toy box.

“BABY,” squawked my pet parrot, Tiki, as I walked past his cage. “Baby, baby.”One-year-old Tiki was a prolific talker after my boyfriend of more than two years, Gavin, 25, and I spent time training him, dishing out honey-coated seeds every time he managed to say a word. Tiki mostly mimicked us and would constantly repeat phrases like “night, night” and “I love you”. But we never said “baby” to one another, so I was flummoxed… and more than a little worried.

SHAMELESS mum-of-three Whitney Ainscough is raking in £480,000 a year by showing her one million followers on social media how to get as much cash as possible from the benefits system.

BEFORE leaving the house Spencer Stevenson would pull on a hat and bend his head low. It was 1996 and the then 21-year-old university student had become “a recluse” after losing his hair prematurely. “It was a huge blow, psychologically,” he says. “It was traumatic.”Until his teenage years, Spencer had a head of hair so luscious that people nicknamed him The Hoff after Baywatch star David Hasselhoff, who had a similarly full mane.

COLEEN Rooney claimed that being married to Wayne has at times made her feel "like a single parent."As a solo mum to Mabel, seven, I was gobsmacked to read the 38-year-old mum-of-four reveal life's like a constant "WWE wrestling match" with her boys and that she was often left "juggling" her home alone whilst Wayne was away playing football. Coleen, speaking toWestlifesingerNicky Byrne, 46, on the most recent episode of his podcast, compared her life to that of a single mum. Ridiculous.
