Pregnant Katherine Ryan shares huge update on having fifth baby
Katherine Ryan has ruled out the idea of having more children after her next one is born.
The comedienne, 42, is currently expecting her fourth child with husband Bobby Kootstra but has been so busy on the road with her tour for almost a year, that she has no idea how a conception has even taken place. During an appearance on Wednesday's Lorraine, she told stand-in host Christine Lampard:"It's been a busy tour. I've just been doing my show for 10 months so the math is not mathing. This might have happened in Norfolk, I don't know. But yes, this is my fourth child and I think that's enough."
When Christine joked that follow in the footsteps of other celebrities like David and Victoria Beckham in naming the child after the location was conceived in, she confirmed that it 'would fit in' with the sort of monikers that she is thinking of for the little one. Meanwhile, Katherine, who is already is already a proud mum to teenage daughter Violet, 15, as well as son Fred, three and daughter Fenna, has a small role in The Bad Guys 2 and was thrilled to be a part of the new animation because it was finally a project that was suitable for the whole family.
She said: "My kids loved the first one, so finally, they're proud of one of my projects. A lot of my work is not appropriate for the pre-schoolers, however, going to the cinema, they had the attention span, there was popcorn, the whole day was magical." But, in the end, Katherine joked that despite her 'pivotal' role in the feature, she is not so sure that her children recognised her voice when they watched it and were more taken with the other characters."
The update from Katherine comes just days after she admitted that she was convinced of the gender of her unborn child as she gave fans a glimpse of her home. As she leaned on her bannister and filmed herself, Katherine told the camera: "I could not have picked a better time to get a full length mirror in the corridor. Just got me feeling great..."
Katherine, who recently landed a huge role on the upcoming reality series Real Housewives of London, then walks to another long mirror placed on the other side of her hallway as she shows off her blossoming bump and tells fans: "This has got to be a boy," in reference to her unborn baby.
"We don't know," Katherine insists, pre-empting questions about if she and Bobby have found out the gender of their third child together. She then adds: "We never know. A lot of people ask me and it's like, come on. Come on. I try my best to, like, spice up the look.
"I got some extensions put in by my friend Reberto – the best – to voluminous the hair that I've decided is not blonde enough so I went to see Sam Burnett, who got me back to my bob but like..."
Katherine then zooms into her bump and lifts her vest top before ending the video with the word: "Honey".

Forget Smurfs, take your children to see Bad Guys 2 this summer
The perfect heist shouldn't be limited by pesky logistics. In theory, then, it's something animated characters can pull off better than anyone. Your Clooneys, Cruises, Pitts or Bullocks may have a bunch of swanky capers studding their résumés, but the opening sequence of The Bad Guys 2 out-dazzles them all. Out in time for the summer holidays, this sequel to DreamWorks' 2022 hit about a quintet of animal outlaws will make kids feel cool and parents cool for taking them. It starts with a flashback to the good old days – by which it means, the bad old days, when this now-reformed gang of five (a wolf, a tarantula, a shark, a piranha and a snake) were unrepentant criminals. A head-spinning car chase through Cairo – after the heroes have glitter-bombed the palace of a rich sultan – is a spiffing showcase for the visual style, which uses computer animation (fusing 2D and 3D) to look as hand-drawn as the filmmakers can pretend. As a yahooing Mr Wolf (voiced by Sam Rockwell to sound eerily like Clooney) makes his getaway with the crew, we really kick into gear. The animation style is a Hanna-Barbera/Looney Tunes throwback, a comic book being sped up and slowed down. It's frisky and inspired. There's a plot, too, which is a good deal less sluggish than Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, while also being almost needlessly intricate if you decide to bother following it. (Basic version: a gold-lusting trio called The Bad Girls lure our heroes into one last job, and they fall for the ruse.) There's really no need to over-concentrate, though. We're in this for the set pieces, the razzle-dazzle, and anarchic comeback vibes, backed up with muscle by Daniel Pemberton's music (of Ocean's 8 fame). We accept the esprit de corps between these creatures, all much-maligned figures in the animal kingdom, and the gambit that they're good guys deep down. We still want to watch them do bad things. Craig Robinson's Mr Shark is nominally a master of disguise – somehow no one sees through it, even when he's donning a moustache and wig to pose as an Italian florist, say. The script defaults to easy running gags of this ilk (Mr Piranha emits toxic green gas when he's nervous). This is the weak spot: coarse material it knows kids will lap up. It isn't wrong. It just misses the verbal wit of, say, a Brad Bird (who wrote and directed The Incredibles and Ratatouille) to seduce the rest of us with devil-may-care suavity. Even so, anyone interested in animation needs to pay attention to what these films are doing. The writing formula may be crude, but the whiz-bang aesthetic is sensational.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps review – A-list cast struggle to make the script flow and drama feels undercooked
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (12A), 114mins ★★★☆☆ 3 THE first challenge for this Marvel superhero reboot of a reboot of a reboot was to clear a very low bar. It had to be better than the forgettable 2007 effort starring Chris Evans and the earnest 2015 remake with Miles Teller. I never got to see the 1994 original because it was so bad that it wasn't released in the UK. So is this fourth time lucky? Almost. The ever reliable Pedro Pascal plays genius scientist Reed Richards, leading a team of remarkable humans who had their DNA altered in strange ways when they went into space. Reed has an elastic body, his wife Sue Storm can make herself invisible, Ben Grimm clobbers as The Thing and Johnny Storm is the Human Torch. Futuristic gadgets So let's start with the positives. I am truly grateful to director Matt Shakman for dispensing with the whole 'origins' bit. How the quartet got their powers is dealt with in a very swift news reel. That means the running time is kept below two hours, which makes a welcome change from the current trend for bloated blockbusters. The Fantastic Four also looks great, with its mixture of retro 1960s styling and futuristic gadgets. The set designers have set a very high bar. Vanessa Kirby as the inspirational Sue, Joseph Quinn as the handsome Johnny and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as gentle giant The Thing are all very talented. And they keep this light and amusing. Sadly, the charisma of The Bear's Ebon is wasted behind the CGI costume. And the cast struggle to make the script flow. A lot of the drama feels forced or undercooked, particularly Johnny's rivalry with his brother-in-law Reed. More problematically, the baddie Galactus is about as scary as a stationery sales rep — no offence to The Office's Ralph Ineson, who is tasked with voicing this maudlin giant with an unexplained desire to destroy planets. With Earth's very existence at stake, the storyline should have put me on the edge of my seat. But instead, I just sank back in the chair and enjoyed the film's super- impressive visuals. With any luck this version of The Fantastic Four is just finding its feet, and the next time it will really live up to its name. THE BAD GUYS 2 (PG), 104mins 3 ★★☆☆☆ ONE of the rules of cinema is that sending normally Earthbound characters into space has an even lower success rate than one of Elon Musk's rockets. Moonraker and F9 are two examples of how going beyond the Karman line leaves a vacuum where the plot should be. It was way too early for this likeable animated kids movie about a gang of thieves to resort to such overblown ideas. In The Bad Guys 2, the master criminals led by Mr Wolf (Sam Rockwell) are trying to go straight after serving their prison sentence. But no one wants to hire a bunch of ex-cons. No matter how hard Mr Snake, Mr Shark, Ms Tarantula and Mr Piranha attempt to do the right thing, they end up deeper in trouble. The comic timing is off with gags failing to land among the frenetic pace. The slapstick moments pass before they've even been set up. Kids, though, are sure to enjoy the constant stream of ever bigger and more extreme chases. I'm sure they'll laugh their heads off at the fart joke which is the one funny moment. But you'd have to be a very good guy to sit through this with them. BRING HER BACK (18), 104mins ★★★★☆ 3 THE term 'chewing the scenery' normally refers to an actor seriously hamming things up. In the case of this spine-chilling movie, a character does literally chomp on a kitchen worktop. It's one of many deeply disturbing moments in Bring Her Back that felt so real that my shoulders shuddered uncontrollably. The above phrase certainly should not apply to actress Sally Hawkins, whose malevolent Australian foster parent Lara raises this movie way above the standard horror fare. She undermines the bond between orphaned siblings Piper (Sora Wong) and Andy (Billy Barratt). Lara plays it all lovey dovey with Piper, while secretly doing her best to break Andy's spirit. The brother and sister have no idea what their foster mum is up to, but the audience should have a pretty good one due to the film's title. Bring Her Back would have garnered top marks if it wasn't for the well-worn horror movie plot turns that give so much of the game away. It is reprieved by the ending, which takes an unusual course. Expect a sequel.

Lorraine Kelly fans desperate to know where to buy her 'beautiful' summer holiday dress
Lorraine Kelly was seen wearing a stunning summer dress from Boden as she jetted off to Zimbabwe - and some fans may have recognised the piece from the presenter's ITV show All too often, TV presenters wear an item once in the studio, never to be seen again. But Lorraine Kelly was recently spotted outfit-repeating a gorgeous summer frock that eagle-eyed fans recognised from her eponymous ITV show. The 65-year-old presenter sported the Boden Chirstabel Cotton Midi Dress in a 'gallery blue and walled garden' print as she jetted off to Zimbabwe. Priced at £126, the dress has been a hit with shoppers and has even been hailed as the 'perfect summer dress'. The ITV host was first seen in her Boden dress on last Friday's episode of Lorraine, and then again over the weekend as she embarked on her African adventure. Made from airy cotton, the dress is designed in a fit and flare style to complement the figure, falling to mid-calf length. The V-neckline ensures the wearer stays cool, while the detachable self-tie fabric belt creates a slimming silhouette. The dress also features side seam pockets, reports the Express . For a limited period, customers can use the code W7CX to snag the piece for £107.10 - a tidy saving of 15%. ASOS' Hope & Ivy midi smock dress offers a similar design, but its clever panel-waist cut provides a flattering look without a belt, priced at £95. New ASOS customers can enjoy a 10% discount and free next-day delivery using the code: NEWHERE. The Blue Floral Border Print Pocket Midi Dress from Roman has received a full five-star rating from customers. Priced at £42, this 'flattering' dress is perfect for a laid-back holiday ensemble. It features a wrap V-neckline, stripe border trim and practical side pockets. The airy, short sleeves add a dash of charm to the outfit, while the stretch-shirred waist guarantees comfort throughout the day. Lorraine's Instagram followers were quick to comment on her Boden frock , with one commenting: "Safe travels. Love your dress, where is it from please?" Another echoed the sentiment, asking: "You had that dress on your show the other day. Where is it from? Love blue." The Christabel dress also comes in a slightly darker "glacier blue and ornate vine" shade or a "pink and wildflower bouquet" print - both retailing at £129. One satisfied customer left a glowing five-star review, writing: "This dress is perfect for summer. The material is lovely and soft. It isn't lined, but that makes it perfect for Mediterranean holidays." Another shopper praised: "Beautiful dress, super light and airy fabric. It fits really nicely and is just the epitome of a summer dress." However, the V-neckline could pose a problem for those with larger busts. One reviewer pointed out: "Gorgeous shape of skirt, but this dress is not for anyone with bigger busts as the waist of this dress is too high," while another added: "Beautiful print though possibly a bit much for petites. Main issue was that the waist was too high even in petite size." Another shopper garnered praise after donning the Boden dress for a 'posh lunch', sharing: "It's so comfortable to wear and did not crease." Customers can check out all available sizes of the Boden Christabel Cotton Midi Dress, here.
