Greg James is named as godfather of Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo's baby as he emerges victorious in Radio 1's Giant Face Off
The latest challenge from Radio 1 saw Team Greg and Team Jamie tasked with deciphering a series of clues leading them to different areas of the country.
Once a location had been determined, the race was on to collect a flag with each opponent's face on it - and most flags wins.
After a tense few days of sending their teams as far afield as Barry, Derry and even the Shetland Islands, as well as a literal race to the finish in Newcastle, Greg emerged victorious with 10 flags to Jamie's nine.
But the challenge came with consequences, with Jamie set to take over as host of Radio 1 Breakfast if he had won.
However he lost, and the Made In Chelsea star's forfeit was that he had to name Greg as the godfather of the unborn baby he is due to welcome with wife Sophie.
Hours before, Jamie had told Sophie live on air that godfather Greg was a possibility if he lost.
Speaking on the show, he said: 'So I just got a message from Sophie my wife saying "How are you, just checking in".
And i said before that I actually haven't mentioned the fact that you potentially could be godfather of my child so I thought I might tell her now. [Phone rings] I'm actually terrified...'
After a few niceties, Jamie broke the news, saying: 'You know how I've been doing this sort of Giant Face Off with Greg all week where I need to win! Yes?
He continued: 'Just quickly, I haven't told you this... I'm going to keep it very brief. There are forfeits at the end. Greg's is hilarious... I get to take over the Radio 1 Breakfast Show when I win.
'I have a forfeit as well. Um... just very blase... if I lose Greg becomes the godfather of our child.'
After a period of silence, Sophie replied: '... Absolutely, wonderful'
'So you're happy for Greg to...,' Jamie began before Sophie added: 'Godfather Greg, I can't wait. It's got a ring'
Hours before, Jamie had told Sophie live on air that godfather Greg was a possibility if he lost. Speaking on the show, he said: 'So I just got a message from Sophie my wife saying "How are you, just checking in"
'She seems fine with it?' Greg said tentatively, before Jamie added: 'Hmm, yeah I know Sophie very well. Once she's off air it will be a different conversation, I think.'
'Thanks honey I just want to let you know that I love you!' before Sophie jumped in with: 'Ahhh, make sure you win!'
After saying 'I love you' twice with no response from Sophie, she hung up and the radio station erupted in laughter.
Confirming Greg's win on Instagram on Friday, a clip showed him running down a bridge in Newcastle to collect his flag after the pair received their final clue from a band live on air.
Arriving at the bridge, Greg was greeted by two flags attached to it with his and Jamie's face on them.
He was then handed a pair of scissors to cut Jamie's flag down, leaving his remaining and thus winning the game.
Sophie and Jamie, aged 36 and 30 respectively, announced earlier this year that they were expecting a baby together.
But Sophie revealed on her and Jamie's newly named podcast NearlyParents, that she has struggled with some aspects of her pregnancy.
She confessed that when her second trimester hit, she felt like she was 'dying' and was dealing with a lot of hormones that made her frequently feel irritated.
'This girl has gone from a bit of a b***h to don't come near me,' she quipped.
'Up until week eight, I was smooth sailing. No good aversions, no sickness, so much energy, I was like what is every talking about this is unbelievable.
'Week eight hit and everyone's starting to grate to me a bit. Like that man sat next to me on the plane breathing, like is it illegal if I punch him in the face?
'If you're a fan of the podcast, I love you so much but you're not going to like me if you meet me at the moment.'
Jamie said he struggled to get his head around Sophie's mood changes with pregnancy, recalling: 'I asked Sophie if she had any cravings and she said, ''No, the only craving I have is hating you''.

Millie Mackintosh strips down to tiny bikini for birthday selfie as she celebrates on family holiday
Millie Mackintosh stripped down to a tiny bikini as she posed for a cheeky birthday selfie whilst on a family holiday. The 36-year-old former Made In Chelsea star has been enjoying the sun with her loved ones over the last couple of days. Taking to her Instagram on Sunday, Millie showed off her incredible physique in the mirror as she flaunted her toned abs. Millie posed in the cream two-piece, wearing a fedora hat and carrying her wicker bag in one hand with her phone in the other. She announced it is now officially Leo season in a photo dump on her socials, sharing snippets from their trip, although she hasn't shared the location. 'Vacation mode,' she wrote alongside the photo. The doting mum-of-two, who is married to Hugo Taylor, enjoyed a quiet meal with her loved ones on the beach. She was joined by her daughters Sienna and Aurelia as they sang happy birthday and watched their mum blow out candles. Millie wrote: 'It's Leo season. And just like that another 365 days older, wiser, and ready for what the universe has in store for me. Thank you for all the birthday love.' In recent days, Millie opened up about her dog helps keep her sober after she spent years battling alcohol issues. She spoke openly about her issues with alcohol before going sober in 2022, and has since released a book about her struggles, entitled Bad Drunk. And now in an interview with the Sunday Times, she has explained how owning her pug, Luna, as given her an additional focus. She said: 'When you have a dog you're not waking up with a hangover, you're waking up and going for a walk along the river or meeting up with other dog owners. 'Having Luna helps me talk to people; I can be quite socially awkward. And I find when you've got a dog and another person's got a dog, you just have something to talk about.' Millie, who is married to former Made In Chelsea co-star Hugo Taylor and is a mother to two daughters, admitted she 'barely recognises the person she used to be' as she shared a 'drunken' throwback snap in a candid Instagram post. She went sober more than two years ago following the realisation that she had become an 'angry' drunk. As an MIC original, Millie's early scenes on the show often revolved around partying and drinking leading to flare-ups with fellow cast members which she has since claimed got in the way of her relationships. Continuing to raise awareness of sobriety and how much her life has changed for the good since going alcohol free, Millie wrote: 'Now vs. Then. 'Looking back ten years, I barely recognise the person I used to be—drinking heavily, always hungover, and completely lost. 'I was stuck in a cycle of self-medicating, not realising that the change I so badly needed was waiting for me on the other side of discomfort. 'Choosing an alcohol-free life has been the best decision I've ever made. It's the ultimate life hack—realising that I have the power to say no. 'Not because I have to, but because I get to. Sobriety isn't a sacrifice; it's a privilege, a gift I've given to myself, and one I'll never take for granted. 'The journey from bad drunk to alcohol-free has been the most transformative thing I've ever done. And hearing from so many of you who are on this path too means so much. 'Your messages about my book and your own experiences remind me why this conversation is so important. 'If you're navigating this too, know that you're not alone—we're in this together. How are you feeling about your own journey right now? Let's chat. ✨' Millie decided to go and see a sober coach, who helped her and has now steered clear of booze for more than two years.

Georgia Toffolo's husband James Watt forced to deny claims she is pregnant as she shares a post promising 'major news' on romantic getaway
Georgia Toffolo 's husband James Watt has hit back at speculation she is expecting her first child after sharing a post teasing 'major news' on Instagram. The couple are currently away on holiday in Iceland and Georgia shared a selection of snaps from the romantic getaway, which included a salmon fishing trip. Underneath the gallery of images, one person commented: 'Are you pregnant?', to which Georgia's husband retorted: 'I don't think she is'. Several people commented underneath the exchange that it was inappropriate for anyone to ask the former Made In Chelsea star such a personal question. Georgia's 'major news' was actually that she had finally caught her first Atlantic salmon, which she revealed she had already tried many times in three countries. She sweetly captioned the photos: 'Making memories with my forever person'. Georgia and James looked as loved-up as ever in the snaps, as they gave an insight into their getaway which included picturesque walks and fishing. The former I'm A Celeb star looked typically chic, even in her fishing gear, which included a jumper and waterproof dungarees. Another look saw her sport a striped top underneath a cream knit sleeveless jumper, accessorising with a burnt orange head scarf and shades. The couple were also joined by two black Labradors. Georgia and James said 'I do' on a fishing boat earlier this year. However, they ditched their fishing attire for much more glamorous ensembles for their church service. The reality star looked out of this world in a strapless corset dress and flowing veil, while James opted for a classic navy suit. The couple settled their pre-wedding nerves with a slice of jam on toast and a cup of tea in James' granny's kitchen. She sweetly captioned the photos: 'Making memories with my forever person' She captioned her post: 'So relaxed and happy. Pictures taken at James' Granny's house just before the church yesterday. We really did it our way!' Sharing snaps of their special and unique day, Georgia revealed she travelled to the church in a transit van and held some daffodils freshly picked last minute in the morning. The bride almost suffered a fall as she slipped over the bottom of her dress while walking to the same church James' grandparents married in. James wrote on his Instagram: 'Georgia and I got married today. 'Some key details: 1st March 2025 57.6722° N, 2.3372° W (Gardenstown, Northeast Scotland) 6°C, 17-knot winds (because Scottish weather never disappoints) Spaniel ring bearer 'Guests - whoever could get there with 24 hours notice, Scottish honeymoon incoming 'Married in the same church my grandparents were married in' The pair got engaged in October after the millionaire proposed with an exquisite eight carat triple-diamond studded band estimated to be worth £200,000 during a romantic getaway in Greece for Georgia's 30th birthday. And after the BrewDog founder previously insisted that the pair would be tying the knot this year, it appears that the couple were true to their word - though guests only had 48 hours notice to attend. Georgia looked stunning for her big day, slipping into a cream, fleece off-the-shoulder dress - perfect for keeping her warm in the chilly Scottish weather. The I'm A Celebrity star styled her blonde locks into an elegant up do' and added dainty diamond earrings and a flowing white veil to her bridal look. Perhaps not very bridal were the chunky brown boots she donned with the outfit, though this may have been for health and safety reasons amid their photoshoot on the boat. Meanwhile, James himself rocked an unconventional wedding outfit, donning a cream beanie hat and a thick cream jumper worn beneath blue fishing overalls. The couple certainly appeared to get in the spirit of things, with Georgia and James pulling different expressions as they got to grips with some lobsters. Georgia's post was greeted with a plethora of delightful comments from her fans and celebrity pals, who were equally shocked and overjoyed at her big news. After sharing her images to social media, Georgia shared a video to her Instagram stories shortly after walking down the aisle, excitedly remarking: 'We just got married!' Georgia, who was sat in a car next to James - who at this point was clad in a smart, dark suit - said to the camera: 'It was so unchoreographed! We just came out the church and were like "wait, where do we go now?" So we just sat in the car!

Louise Thompson proudly displays her stoma bag in a yellow bikini as she admits she notices people staring at it and urges others to 'be kind'
Louise Thompson proudly displayed her stoma bag in a yellow bikini as she admitted she feels people staring at her and urged people to 'be kind'. The former Made in Chelsea star, 30, who nearly died when giving birth to her son in 2021, revealed last April that she had been fitted with a stoma after years of battling with ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic bowel condition where the colon and rectum become inflamed and small ulcers develop on the colon's lining, which can bleed. A stoma is a surgically-created opening made on the abdomen, which is made to divert the flow of body waste into a medical device, which the person can then empty. But taking to Instagram on Sunday, Louise admitted in a candid post that she us wearing less bikinis and switching to swimsuits, in part because she notices people looking at her stoma. Louise went on to say that she feels confident having her stoma on show now, but gave advice to those unfamiliar with them to 'be kind', not judge and let people with them wear what they want in peace. Sharing a snap and clip of herself in the yellow two-piece, Louise wrote: 'I'm not a big bikini girl these days. I don't think it's a confidence issue, I just really enjoy the comfort of a swimsuit. It's very practical and dare I say it - when you reach your mid 30s I think practicality equates to sophistication. 'There's another thing. I don't LOVE people looking at me that much. Stoma or no stoma. It doesn't happen to me often now I'm a bit older and a mother (gone are the days of men checking me out on the tube or the beach), but regardless of circumstances - you definitely get more attention with a random black or grey bag glued to your abs. Unsurprising really. 'I have no doubt that if I saw someone in a similar situation as me I'd look on in fascination/with curiosity/appreciation for what they might have gone through. It's natural. We are intrigued by uniqueness. We intrigued by medicine and health.' She continued: 'On the note of appreciation I've actually been serving myself lots of self-appreciation recently. Yesterday I got out of the shower and went straight to my phone to write down the words "remember you can get through TOUGH shit, ur tough as nails'" on a WhatsApp thread I have with myself (where I dump all my creative [thoughts]) because I really believed it. I wanted you to too. 'Regardless of the above I feel no shame when I look at my body. I don't attach much emotion to it at all. It just exists. That's the main thing. It's a privilege to exist. Literally. Metaphorically. 'But I fancied giving my tummy a bit of tan time/vit d on holiday… so here she is. The old bod. Me and Winnie hanging out. Wearing her with pride. I think I've still got it. I feel good. I roamed freely in the villa. I didn't feel the need to display my tummy in the beach clubs because tbh I'm not really a big lie down and tan kind of girl anymore. I think I dress really well and v freeely and vvvv ME regardless of my stomach situ.' Louise added: 'I don't feel held back at all, but I know some do and I want to remind anyone out there that doesn't really understand what this is that lots of normal and nice people in the uk have them (100k) and to be kind. 'Don't judge. Let people wear what they want. Ask nice questions if you really can't help it. You might learn something cool. #stoma.' In holiday snaps from earlier this month, Louise showed off her incredible figure in the two-piece, before slipping into a black swimsuit. Louise and fiancé Ryan Libbey have been enjoying a short trip 'just the two of them' at the luxurious Maslina Resort on Hvar island. Louise recently opened up about suffering a 'horrendously debilitating' stoma leak while out in central London. Since her diagnosis, Louise has continued to spread awareness and proudly show off her stoma, which she's nicknamed Winnie, in a hilarious reference to Winnie The Pooh. However, taking to her Instagram on Wednesday, she revealed she'd had a leak the day before, which left her in tears and needing some time out by herself. She explained she had headed to Marylebone with her fiancé Ryan on his motorbike for an appointment and a coffee, before going to record a podcast. However, Louise explained that despite their 'great start', she suddenly realised her stoma bag had unfortunately leaked, forcing her to rush to the nearest hospital for supplies. Sharing several selfies of her and Ryan on their bike journey before everything went wrong, she wrote: 'Yesterday I found myself in a really depressing situation. 'l had a great start to the day. I had a medical appointment at @ in the morning with Ryan... we biked there to get ahead of the traffic and managed to shave off 20 minutes from the journey. 'Then was off to record a podcast with 2x good friends which has been in the diary for ages. Had a lot of excited energy in my belly following a c**p week of of c**p health. 'We got off the bike in Marylebone blissfully happy and headed to @watchhouse for some delicious coffee and cookies pre-recording because we were a smidge early, but then I felt something a bit wet in my pocket. I looked down and had had the most horrendously debilitating stoma leak.' She recounted how she was left 'too overwhelmed' to explain the situation, but Ryan had stepped in, while she was left in a bathroom for an hour waiting for staff to try and source any new stoma bags, while 'covered in mess'. Louise said: ' I had to hobble to the nearest hospital which was a private one so a bit awkward. I was actually too overwhelmed to speak when we got to reception so thankfully Ryan who I was with handled it for me. 'I then literally waited locked in a bathroom for an hour sat on the loo covered in mess whilst they dug around to see if they had any stoma bags for any of their [sic] inpatients.'
