BBC presenter shares unborn baby's gender after 'miracle' pregnancy
Pregnant Morning Live star Michelle Ackerley has shared her "miracle" baby's gender. The TV personality announced that she was expecting her first baby while live on air last month. The 40-year-old has now said that she is expecting to have a little girl this October. She and her husband Ben Ryan have described their future daughter as a "miracle". Michelle has been open in the past about her fertility struggles and being diagnosed with endometriosis. Endometriosis is when tissues similar to the lining of the womb grow on the outside of it causing inflammation and pain which can also cause issues with fertility. Michelle told Hello!: "I'm expecting a little girl in October and it feels very special. When I found out I was pregnant, I told my husband, and he said this is a baby miracle." Speaking about her struggles with endometriosis while also announcing her pregnancy, Michelle wrote on her Instagram page: "I can't believe it's nearly been a year since getting married and I honestly didn't think 12months on that I'd be writing a post sharing that I'm pregnant…. "I know this kind of news can be difficult to read for some so I understand if you would rather scroll past on this. I wanted to share though as my journey with endometriosis and infertility is something I finally felt confident to start speaking about more openly last year - realising how many other women were going through similar experiences. "Feeling part of a community - especially when it comes to women's health can really make a difference. Even at the very start of this year I was gearing up for yet another endo procedure and trying to come to terms with the mental & physical impact they can have. "It has been quite the emotional rollercoaster. The news of falling pregnant really came as a massive surprise to both of us. We still can't quite believe it. "And so in October, the start of a new chapter begins for @benryan7s and I, albeit with nervous and cautious excitement." Ben and Michelle have a 13-year age gap and had been dating for years before they got engaged in 2023. They then went on to tie the knot in 2024 where Michelle looked stunning in a silky halter-neck gown. Ben is best known for being a former rugby star and coaching the Fiji National rugby team when he helped them win a gold medal at the Rio Olympics in 2016. Michelle has risen to fame over the years for her impressive TV career. Her most recent roles include hosting Morning Live as well as previously working on The One Show, World's Strongest Man and Watchdog.

Strongman Tom Stoltman reveals plans to give new gym a Rangers-themed makeover – but his brother isn't happy
FORMER world's strongest man Tom Stoltman told how he's desperate to give his new gym a Rangers makeover. The hulk is a die-hard fan of the Ibrox side and regularly heads to home and away games. Advertisement 4 Tom Stoltman has been crowned World's Strongest Man three times Credit: instagram 4 Muscleman Tom is a die-hard Rangers fan Credit: AFP 4 The site of Tom and Luke's new gym Credit: YouTube/ Stoltman Brothers 4 Tom and Luke Stoltman, who are dubbed the world's strongest brothers Credit: Todd Burandt Tom is now creating a new state-of-the art strongman training centre in the Highlands with his brother Luke. And he told how his dream is to get it decked out in the colours of the Union Jack, to show off his love for the Gers. Tom, 31, said: 'Zinsser paint is giving us paint to paint the gym. I want red, white and blue. Luke wants green. 'What do you guys want it to be? Zinsser, please red white and blue - please, please.' Advertisement Beefcake Tom was the first Scot to be crowned World's Strongest Man and has clinched the title a record three times. Back in 2022 we told how he was evicted from the warehouse where he trained for events and kept equipment like his mammoth Atlas Stones. The landlord gave Tom and Luke just three days to clear everything out. They were forced to leave it outside their Stoltman Strength Centre gym in Invergordon, Easter Ross, because there was no room for it. Advertisement But now they have found the perfect location for a new site that will be a gym and have space for their bulky strongman training gear. Luke said: 'There's going to be every bit of equipment that you could ever want to train on for strongman or powerlifting. World's Strongest Man launches new career 'This is going to be the hub in Scotland for generating or growing the next strongest man in the world.' Tom added: 'It's cool. Very cool.' Advertisement Videos on the brothers' Youtube page show them renovating the 'manky' site. Their dream is to invite strongman competitors and wannabes from across the country to train. They also plan to hold competitions in the space at the back of the site. But Tom is very invested in the colour scheme and asked fans to back his plans to have it painted red, white and blue. Advertisement One said: 'Oh wow. It's going to look amazing once it's all done. Red, white and blue definitely. So excited for you both.' While another who is seemingly a Celtic fan joked: 'Some nice grass green paint, for environmental landscaping. Some white stripes on it would be nice too.' Tom travelled to the USA for this year's World's Strongest Man event and came second. He missed out on the top spot to rival Rayno Nel by half a point. He's always been a Rangers fan and regularly talks about how the club has a special place in his heart.
