I'm a football WAG – haters tell me to hide my baby bump but I refuse to look like a tent, flaunting it is cute
Jilly Cross, from Glasgow, is married to ex-Rangers and current Motherwell star Andy Halliday.

She regularly posts her outfit choices and shopping hauls for her army of followers on social media (@jillyisabella).
And since sharing the news that she's expecting her first baby with Andy this year, Jilly has enjoyed styling outfits around her growing bump.
In a recent video, the mum-to-be - who has her own fashion brand Dula - paired low rise jeans with a white flowy crop top and blazer.
While most fans gushed over "how glowing" she looked, one hater commented: "Is it mandatory to have your belly out in every video when you're pregnant?
"We get it, put it away.
"I'm not hating. It's my personal opinion."
But Jilly instantly hit back with her typical humour and says she refuses to be left looking like a tent.
In a clip, showing off her bump in a white co-ord, she said: "Now aside from the fact that we had beautiful weather over the weekend, 23 degrees, I'm assuming you're from Britain, and you decided to spend that indoors commenting hateful things on people's TikToks. Could never be me.
"Although you said it's not hateful, it's not hate comments and it's just your opinion, I love when people say that. 'I'm not being a hater, it's just my opinion, like I'm entitled to it', it's just another way to say I'm an a***hole. But that's cute. Each to their own."
Pulling her skirt up to cover her bump, she then continued: "You can't tell me that looks good and that's how you want me to walk about?
I was dating the same guy for just over a year and he was hiding a secret pregnant wife - he even made jokes about her & lived by a fake name
"I look like a tent from Decathlon, I look like a tent that was left in the Glastonbury Fields from last year.
"You want me to walk about like this?
"This is giving your bed sheets on the washing line, so I won't be doing that, it's not stylish of me."
Jilly then insists "you can't tell me this isn't cuter" as she pulls her skirt waistband down again to sit below her bump.
"Much more stylish, much more freeing, and in the heat that we're having, I don't want to overheat", she said.
Jilly's clip has racked up almost 250,000 views with people jumping to her defence.
One person said: "Something absolutely chilling about telling a woman who's pregnant to 'put it away'."

"It's actually impressive the things that upset people these days", wrote a second.
A third cried: "DO NOT PUT IT AWAY!!!!! I demand to see the bump I'm loving seeing you style it."
"God forbid you style yourself well while pregnant", fumed a fourth.
A fifth gushed: "An absolute queen, I am screaming."
Meanwhile a sixth said: "You look beautiful you are carrying precious cargo why not show it off."
It comes after her footballer beau revealed he had to have his "phone on loud" on the sidelines in case Jilly went into labour while he was playing for Motherwell.
'I want to be there for the birth of my first baby — but hopefully she can hold off", he joked.
But he added: 'The time has come and we're absolutely delighted that we've got the first baby on the way. The timing is good at the end of the season.
'I will have a couple of weeks off to spend every day with my wife and the baby. I'll get to do as much as I possibly can before the madness of next season starts again.
'We've got a really good network of support with both our families being from Glasgow.
'We've got mums and dads, brothers, sisters and cousins around who can help out where possible."
We told earlier how Jilly was branded the " Lidl of WAGs" by a cruel troll.
But the red-haired beauty immediately got the last laugh with her funny comeback.
Replying with her typical humour, Jilly sarcastically hit back: "Do you mean Lidl as in little, like skinny? Wait, do you think I'm really skinny? [screams]."

Insiders reveal Kelly Osbourne's final promise to Ozzy
Hidden behind her father Ozzy's trademark round sunglasses , Kelly Osbourne fought to keep her composure as she held up her grieving mother. With her arms around her for support, Kelly watched as a heartbroken Sharon crouched down to place a single rose on a mound of floral tributes in front of thousands of fans who had lined the streets of Birmingham to pay their respects to the Prince of Darkness on Wednesday. Clearly overwhelmed by the crowds, Kelly took a moment as she hugged her brother Jack at the Black Sabbath Bridge site which fast became a memorial for the beloved heavy metal icon after his death, aged 76, last week. It was a particularly poignant moment for Kelly, 40, whose stoicism was a nod to her late father and the touching promise she had made him. 'The last few days have been a tough ride, but Kelly has been focused on executing plans with her mum,' an insider told the Daily Mail. 'Of course there have been tears, but she promised her dad - who openly spoke about not wanting people to mourn but rather celebrate his life - that she would not crumble in public.' The Black Sabbath legend 'always pushed them to 'celebrate what people have done in life, not [expletive] worry about what's next,' and his daughter has embraced his ethos. However, while Kelly has been trying her best to do exactly what her rocker father would have wanted, she is worried about her mother. Those close to the family are said to be extremely 'concerned about the impact this is having on Sharon,' adding that 'she and Ozzy were such a unique couple [and] them being apart it is heartbreaking'. Insiders previously disclosed to the Daily Mail the growing concerns for Sharon, 72, who has dealt with her own health issues over the years, including a colon cancer diagnosis in 2002 that led to surgery and chemotherapy. The music manager, who has been vocal about her life-long struggle with body image issues, also recently revealed she has struggled to gain weight after stopping popular weight-loss drug Ozempic. Sharon and Ozzy had a tumultuous, high-profile relationship that was well-documented by the media and their reality TV show, The Osbournes. The couple first met in 1970 when Sharon - the daughter of Ozzy's then manager -was only 18. At the time, he was married to his first wife Thelma, with whom he had two children, Louis and Jessica. After Ozzy left Black Sabbath, Sharon took over as his manager, and their epic love story began, with a wedding in Hawaii on July 4, 1982. They weathered countless affair allegations - one of which pushed Sharon to overdose - and celebrated their 43rd wedding anniversary on July 4, one day before Ozzy's farewell concert, Back to the Beginning. But 'Kelly will now be there for Sharon,' because of the 'very unique bond' she shared with her father. The Mama I'm Coming Home singer previously told Rolling Stone they were 'like two peas in a pod' and gushed about their unbreakable bond, admitting, 'If I've got a favorite kid, it's Kelly' while joking that his other children knew how he felt. One of Ozzy's biggest dreams was that Kelly would find love like her brother Jack, who married his second wife Aree Gearhart 14 months after welcoming their daughter Maple. Jack, 39, is also a father to daughters Pearl, 11, Andy, seven, and Minnie, five, from his first marriage to Lisa Stelly. 'Ozzy was Kelly's biggest champion in her career and in love,' the insider said, adding while he might be remembered as a 'tough rock star, he was really an emotional teddy bear when it came to the kids.' 'One of his hopes was always that Kelly would find the right partner and fulfil her dream to start a family,' they said. 'For years she had been the doting auntie to Jack's babies and as aunt and granddad they had enjoyed that experience together.' Kelly's partner Sid Wilson, 48, a member of the band Slipknot, proposed at the end of her father's final gig as a fitting farewell. They first met when Kelly was 13 and Sid was 20 during Ozzfest, the heavy metal festival founded by her parents. The loved up couple confirmed their relationship in early 2022, after knowing each other for more than two decades. Just months later, they announced they were expecting their first child. Their son, Sidney, arrived in November 2022. 'When Sid got together with Kelly and they had their son, there was huge joy for Oz,' the insider continued, adding that during his toughest days of feeling unwell and in pain, spending time with his grandson and Kelly helped keep his spirits up and 'bolstered the bond' with his beloved daughter. 'He used to sing to Sidney and play silly games,' they said. 'This was a huge comfort for Kelly, who saw her dad's physical state declining.' Now all eyes will be on Kelly's son, who Ozzy proudly declared 'could become the one to follow him into music'.

The hit song lyrics that Mike Posner says aren't ‘true anymore'
Singer Mike Posner has disowned the lyrics of his 2016 hit song "I Took a Pill in Ibiza", as 'none of them are true anymore'. The 37-year-old musician, whose track topped the UK charts for four weeks, originally wrote the song after taking ecstasy with DJ Avicii in Ibiza, opening with the line: 'I took a pill in Ibiza to show Avicii I was cool'. Posner expressed pride in his personal transformation over the past 11 years, emphasising self-love and a shift away from behaviours he once engaged in to seek approval. He detailed overcoming significant physical and emotional challenges, such as climbing Mount Everest, leading to his healthiest relationship. The song generated controversy upon its release in 2016 due to its drug references, drawing criticism from Ibiza tourism chiefs and prompting questions about the BBC's decision to playlist it.

Elton John and Spin̈al Tap release new version of Stonehenge – and correct stage prop disaster
Elton John and Spin̈al Tap have joined forces on a new version of the band's song Stonehenge – and have finally corrected one of the great scenery-based mishaps in classic rock. The song, performed in the 1984 rock-mockumentary This Is Spin̈al Tap, is at the heart of one of the film's most cherished scenes: when the band, having made a mistake when commissioning an 18ft Stonehenge stage prop, have to make do with an 18in version being lowered from the rafters. After some hired dwarves caper around it, the band's David St Hubbins complains that they looked likely to crush it underfoot. No such problems with the new version made for the long-awaited sequel Spın̈al Tap II: The End Continues, which will be released 12 September in the US and UK (and 25 September in Australia). In the scene, released today along with a recording of the song on streaming services, the band put in a considerably more triumphant performance, complete with full-sized standing stones and the return of the dwarves. Appearing in a cloak from beneath the stage is Elton John, who takes over the lead vocal, singing lyrics such as 'Stonehenge, where a man's a man / and the children dance to the pipes of Pan' with the requisite po-faced grandeur. John is one of a number of starry cameos in the film, along with Paul McCartney, Questlove, Metallica's Lars Ulrich and more. Michael McKean reprises his role as St Hubbins alongside Christopher Guest as Nigel Tufnel and Harry Shearer as Derek Smalls, heading up a supporting cast filled with British comedy stars such as Nina Conti, Chris Addison and Kerry Godliman. The film will have the documentary film-maker Marty DiBergi (played by Rob Reiner) following the group as they prepare for a final reunion show. The first trailer was released earlier this week. An accompanying soundtrack album has also been announced. Elton John will appear again on Flower People, while McCartney joins them for Cups and Cakes, and country music couple Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood perform Big Bottom.
