Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers' ex Talia reveals health update on son Oakley after gruelling seven hour surgery
GEORDIE Shore star Aaron Chalmers' ex Talia Oatway has given fans a health update on son Oakley after he underwent another surgery. Their son Oakley has Apert Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes fusion of the skull, hands, and feet bones. 3 3 MTV star Talia opened up about her three-year-old son's gruelling seven hour hand surgery on social media, but the difficult they experienced when trying to fit a cannula. On an Instagram Q&A, she told fans: "The operation for the hand went really well and the skin grafts went really well but getting Oakley to sleep and trying to put a canula in was quite a lot. "The anesthetist came to see me the next day and said she understands why I don't want people on a ward trying to put a canula into Oakley because his veins are pretty much impossible. "She basically said that she nearly had to cannulate on his head, which they've always avoided. "Eventually they did get it in on his feet, he's got quite a lot of marks on his arms and feet. "This happens with children and adults, when you've had surgery after surgery... your veins sort of become broken and very difficult to cannulate, which can be shocking in an emergency situation. "She basically said I need to ask a consultant anesthetist to put a cannula in him and not a doctor on a ward." One fans asked if Oakley would have more operations. Talia replied and listed the surgeries that her little boy may need. She said: "I honestly couldn't tell you as he's had a lot of emergency ones. "From the top of my head will be - another hand surgery, fundo surgery, upper end endoscopy, cleft pallet, mid face surgery, teeth removed (this happen before midface surgery), a surgery for the skill which got removed last year due to infection and feet surgery." Earlier this week, taking to her Instagram story, Talia posted a sweet image of Oakley and penned: "Today was a really hard experience with trying to get Oakley to sleep. (In theatre) "He started to lash out at me which is understandable as he doesn't understand why we are here or what is about to happen at the time. "We both got really upset and especially when the sleepy gas mask was on, he was fighting against me and the staff. "I know he's getting older and more aware. With Oakley having autism it makes situations more difficult. "Next time he will need a pre-med as it was far too much for me and him to deal with. "He is a trooper today and is resting. Waiting for antibiotics through his canula." Aaron and Talia welcomed Oakley into the world in February 2022. Last week, Talia sparked concern after revealing their son couldn't stop being sick ahead of his crucial surgery. She also previously took to Instagram to post a proud video of her son taking his first steps and shared an update with her followers. Alongside the clip, she wrote: "Oakley has been using a walking frame for a few months now. "He's had some shoes made for him as it's impossible to get shoes that fit his feet." Fans rushed to comment on the upload, with one writing: "He's a legend. Well done Oakley." Another said: "So emotional, what a little beauty, well done Oakley and to mummy!" The former couple also share Romeo, four, and Maddox, three. They got together in 2017 but split just months after Oakley's birth. What is Apert Syndrome? APERT syndrome, also known as acrocephalosyndactyly, is a rare disorder that is named after the doctor who first discovered it in the early 20th century. It is a genetic condition and is caused by a mutation of the FGFR2 gene. This affects how cells in the body - namely bone cells - grow, divide and die. Children born with Apert syndrome have a characteristic appearance, which is caused by the bones in the skull and face fusing and not growing in proportion, according to Great Ormond Street Hospital. It can increase a child's risk of hydrocephalus, which results in pressure building on the brain, and it can also cause Chiari malformation, where the base of the brain is squeezed. Other complications include breathing difficulties and heart problems, which require life-long monitoring. The condition is said to occurs in one in every 65,000 to 88,000 births and a child's outlook can vary greatly depending on the severity of symptoms 3

Bikie gang boss who was jailed for assault makes huge move relating to Conor McGregor's new business venture
A former bikie gang boss has revealed he is in talks with Conor McGregor 's Bare Knuckle Fight Championship to headline the controversial fighting competition's upcoming event in Perth. Matthew Floyd who is understood to have been the former leader of WA's Lone Wolf bike gang has sought out a permit from the WA Combat Sports Commission, according to The West Australian. He is now awaiting the outcome of the application, with the Commission holding an emergency meeting this week to make a call on whether he will be authorised to fight in the event, which has been scheduled to arrive in Perth on July 19. Under the Commission's criteria, fighters are required to be of good standing and follow the Commission's code of conduct in order to receive a permit to fight. It is understood that he could square off against former Geordie Shore star Aaron Chalmers in the event. The West Australian said that Floyd was hoping the Commission would see how much of an opportunity this was going to be for him. 'It's at RAC Arena, it's a life-changing opportunity, financially, and also the person I'm fighting against . . . he fought Floyd Mayweather,' he said to the outlet. 'It's my way, it's a living, it's an income, you shouldn't be able to tell a man whether he can work or provide for his family or not. 'It's all these people sitting in their chairs stopping people from making an honest living.' He added that he hoped the Commission would look past his criminal history. Floyd was jailed in his early 20s over ecstasy tablets. He'd later rise to become the leader of the WA Chapter of the Lone Wolf bikie gang. But he'd be thrown back into prison for a further six years after he was charged with assault and kidnapping of known paedophiles. Since then, Floyd has turned his attention to the boxing ring. He also recently called out Tommy Fury for a meeting in the ring. He owns and operates a gym in WA and is helping many young fighters stay out of crime while actualising their potential as fighters. Meanwhile, Sports Minister Rita Saffioti also explained she would not step in to cancel the event, if the Commission handed Floyd a permit. 'The advice to me is that with very strict protocols and criteria that the event, if the organiser were to meet that, that it could be conducted in WA,' she said. McGregor is a co-owner of the fighting championship and recently was pictured standing with Floyd and boxing coach Phil Sutcliffe. He has also vowed to one day fight in the promotion. 'Yes, the warrior spirit burns inside me,' he said. 'If you think I'm up here giving these speeches and leading these men into battle and I wont step in there myself, think again,' McGregor declared. 'For sure, Conor McGregor will fight in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. Mark my words.' Concerns have been raised over the safety of fighters competing in bare-knuckle events. However, Floyd has assured those with doubts over the sport that there were greater risks in boxing. 'I've got in plenty of street fights and, you know, felt like it hurt, but you'd only ever feel it the next day,' Floyd added. 'In boxing, you get the thump, you feel like your whole head just goes, and it might go black for a bit — I feel like that's from the glove.' The event, though, is still waiting on the green light from WA Combat Sports Commission chairman, Bob Kucera. He told the ABC that fighters were waiting for permits to be issued while a decision on whether the event would proceed as planned would be made by June 7. He also allayed concerns over the safety of the event, telling ABC radio, that participants are 'not people like you see in Northbridge where it's just a couple of drunks on the street having a go.
