Marvel star and Brit actress wife reveal they are expecting their second child
MARVEL star Tom Hiddleston and his Fresh Meat actress wife Zawe Ashton are expecting their second child.
Zawe, 40, confirmed the news in an interview with British Vogue.
She showed off her bump as she posed in a series of gowns by designer Emilia Wickstead, who dressed her for the closing of the SXSW festival in London last night.
“I feel like I’ll be very held on an evening where, as an expectant mother, you can feel a little bit exposed,” Zawe told Vogue ahead of the red carpet event.
Fabio Wardley vs Justis Huni punch stats revealed with Aussie landing almost three times more power blows before KO loss
FABIO WARDLEY snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against Justis Huni.
The 30-year-old produced a stunning tenth-round KO to retain his unbeaten tag.
Wardley went into Saturday’s bout as the overwhelming favourite to take the vacant interim WBA title.
The heavyweight star was fighting infront of his hometown crowd in Ipswich, with Huni a late replacement for Jarrell Miller.
But it was the Aussie who dominated the bout from the off at a rain-sodden Portman Road.
The punch stats reveal Huni threw 342 punches across the 10 rounds.
Wardley responded with 330 of his own – but landed just 117 to Huni’s 159.
The starkest stat came with the power punches, as Huni let rip with 114 heavy shots across the contest.
Wardley could only muster 49 of his own in response.
The Brit could only out-punch Huni in TWO rounds of the contest, noticeably tiring after a 64-punch effort in Round 3.

Huni’s dominance had him leading comfortably with all three judges going into the 10th round.
But Wardley produced a mammoth right hand to KO the Aussie just when it mattered most.
Wardley’s win puts him in line for a shot at the winner of Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois’ unification bout next month.
Following Saturday’s win – his 18th KO victory in 19 fights – The Barista admitted it had been a close call.
He said: “I don’t profess to be any kind of Usyk or Justis Huni… someone with all the skills.
“But one thing I do know is how to win fights, dig deep, find a bit of heart, bite down on the gumshield, find a way to win.
“That’s one thing I had to do tonight.
“I should have performed better in some of the rounds.
“It’s not always the way it goes. Sometimes you just need to find a different way to win.
“So look, we pulled something out of the bag.”

The pretty UK island with African-inspired holiday lodges – and you can spot otters and seals from your bed
A TINY island in the UK is home to holiday lodges were inspired by safari camps abroad.
WildLuing on the Scottish island of Luing was created by Jack and his wife Emily after they were inspired while living in Kenya.
WildLuing has eight self-catered glamping suites, called WildSuites, that overlook Torsa Bay where you can regularly spot seals and otters.
Something Jack and Emily said they liked about the Kenya lodges was that groups would gather for meals in a large communal space, then go back to their cabins.
Each pod is custom built and there are some where you can bring along a furry friend too.
And inside each of the lodges is a super king bed, which can be split into doubles if necessary, as well as a shower – and some even have a roll top bath.
Cleverly, all of the cabins are positioned differently so no matter which you stay in, you will get views of the bay.
Prices for the cabins start from £195 per night and each sleeps two.
Unlike most other campsites, there’s no shops or pubs, it’s all about getting back to nature.
As a result, on-site is a communal lounge and dining room.
And it’s a hit with visitors having been described as ‘bucket list material.’
The biggest place on-site is The Observatory which hosts up to 20 guests.
It has views over Torsa Bay and is completely open-plan with a kitchen, pantry, dining area and cosy living room.
You can’t actually stay overnight but it can be hired out to use for yoga retreats, cooking school, dining events, wild swimming groups, and wedding receptions, according to the website.
Around the bay is various types of wildlife, and from the private deck you’ll be able to spot otters as well as grey and common seals.
For the lucky ones, you might even see dolphins.
The Isle of Luing is one of the Slate Islands in the west of Argyll in Scotland and has a population of just 200 people.
WildLuing launched three years ago, and has received lots of positive reviews from visitors.
One wrote on Tripadvisor: “Wowsers. If you haven’t been, then this should be bucket-list material.”
Another added: “Wild Luing was simply sensational on all fronts.”
To get to the Isle of Luing, you’ll need to get a ferry from North Cuan.
Here’s the UK’s highest campsite has cosy camping pods and views of the country’s tallest mountain.
And more campsites in the UK near water to with sea views and luxury cabins.
Has your body secretly entered ‘fat storage mode’? The 6 sneaky signs to look out for
IF you’re on a mission to lose weight, seemingly doing everything ‘by the book’, then you might be at a loss as to why you just can’t seem to shift your unwanted fat.
Unfortunately, you can eat ‘right’ and fit exercise into your busy schedule and still not see the results you’re after as various hormones might be sneakily causing you to cling onto flab.
Dr Bryony Henderson, a GP, obesity management expert and medical director at Numan, tells Sun Health: “Successful weight control requires more than simply lowering calories.
“Years of overeating can dull the brain’s response to leptin, the ‘I’m full’ hormone, so appetite remains higher than it should be.
“Plus, poor sleep or constant stress raises cortisol, a survival hormone that tells the body to store spare energy around the waist.
“Together these hormonal shifts can slow or even stop fat loss in people who feel they are ‘doing everything right’.”
Not sure if your body is secretly storing fat? Look out for these signs…
1. YOU’VE GOT A BIG TUMMY AND THIGHS
HIGH levels of the hormone oestrogen can cause women to store fat around their hips and thighs, according to registered nutritionist Karen Preece Smith.
“In men, low testosterone can lead to increased body fat, especially in the abdominal area,” she adds.
“This is partly due to the conversion of testosterone to oestrogen by fat cells, which can contribute to hormonal imbalances and fat storage.”
You can combat this by boosting testosterone levels with a diet full of lean proteins (chicken, turkey), healthy fats (olive oil, avocado), complex carbohydrates (whole grains such as oats, brown rice), zinc (found in lean red meat, beans, nuts) magnesium (from dark green leafy vegetables) and vitamin D (in eggs, oily fish).
“Weight training, with a focus on multi-joint compound movements such as squats and lunges, can also stimulate testosterone production for men,” Karen adds.
Women can keep oestrogen levels under control by supporting “liver detoxification”.
Dominika Blonska, a personal trainer, nutrition coach and founder of DEFINE BY DOM, says: “Your liver is responsible for breaking down excess oestrogen.
“To help it out, limit alcohol, drink at least two litres of water per day and eat cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cauliflower.
“Improving your gut health will also help with oestrogen elimination.
“You can do this by avoiding inflammatory foods, such as processed products, sugar and seed oils, and eating fibre-rich food, like vegetables, chia and flax seeds.”
Tuck into healthy fats too – think avocado, coconut oil, nuts and sardines.
2. YOUR HANDS AND FEET ARE ALWAYS COLD
COLD hands and feet can indicate an underactive thyroid or poor circulation in the body.
“Your thyroid, an endocrine gland in your neck which makes and releases hormones, controls your metabolism,” Dominika says.
“So, if your thyroid is slow, so is your metabolism.
“This has an impact on your weight, making it difficult to burn calories and therefore shed the pounds.”
It can also cause other symptoms like fatigue and low energy levels which can contribute to weight gain.
Dominika recommends getting a blood test to check your thyroid hormones.
Book an appointment with your GP who can advise on next steps, which might involve medication.
3. YOU KEEP WAKING UP IN THE NIGHT
IF you’re regularly waking up between 2am and 4am, this could be a sign of unbalanced hormones, which can interfere with your weight loss efforts.
Your levels of cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone, might be high due to stress or blood sugar dysregulation, Dominika warns.
“Cortisol usually spikes in the morning between 6am and 8am to help you wake up, however if you’re stressed, this natural rhythm is disrupted so you may end up waking earlier,” she adds.
Research published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology suggests that 50 to 60 per cent of our daily cortisol is released within 30 to 40 minutes of waking.
It means if you stir in the early hours, it can be difficult to nod off again.
A diet that is too strict can backfire. It can slow your metabolism and protect fat stores
Dr Bryony Henderson
Dominika adds that although your blood sugar should remain relatively stable during sleep, if it drops due to not eating enough, eating junk food or even stress, your body releases adrenaline and cortisol to bring it back up.
A lack of sleep can then lead to an imbalance of ghrelin and leptin, making you hungrier so you eat more food – often the wrong kinds of food!
Dr Henderson adds: “Regularly sleeping fewer than six hours also raises evening levels of cortisol, encouraging fat to collect around the abdomen and increasing late‑night hunger.
“Improving your sleep hygiene by going to bed at the same time, keeping the bedroom cool and dark, switching off screens an hour before lights out and limiting caffeine to the morning quickly lowers cortisol and helps the body resume normal fat‑burning.”
4. YOU’VE BEEN DIETING FOR YEARS
FOLLOWING a diet that puts your calorie intake too low will make you feel hungrier than usual.
But if you’ve been undereating for a while, you might face other problems too.
“A diet that is too strict can backfire,” says Dr Henderson.
“When daily calories fall too much, the body senses a famine, thyroid and sex‑hormone levels drop and cortisol rises, all of which slow the metabolism and protect fat stores.”
How many calories should I be eating?
THE key to a healthy diet is eating the right amount for your body.
This will depend on several factors, including your size, age, gender and activity levels.
If you eat or drink more than your body needs, you will put on weight. If you consume less, you will lose it.
The NHS recommended daily calorie intake for men in the UK is 2,500, while women should have around 2,000.
When trying to lose weight, the average person should aim to reduce their daily intake by about 600 calories, according to the health service.
Personal trainer Monty Simmons says: “If I was going to calculate how many calories someone needs to lose weight, I’d either:
- Download a fitness app like MyFitnessPal, set a fat loss target in there, and track calories; or
- Go to calculator.net, click the health and fitness section, and use the calorie calculator. You enter your age, height, weight, and activity level and it’ll give you an approximate daily calorie burn.
“To lose 0.5kg (1lb) per week, you need to be in a 500-calorie deficit daily.
“To lose 1kg per week, you need to be in a 1,000-calorie deficit.
“Without a calorie deficit, you will not lose weight and if you don’t lose the fat, you won’t see your abs. It’s that simple.”
She adds: “A safer approach is a moderate deficit combined with adequate protein and strength training.
“This gives the body enough reassurance to release stored fat while preserving muscle and long‑term health.”
Plus, Dr Henderson suggests a planned diet break of one to two weeks at maintenance calories, “which can lift the hormones that drive fat‑burning before the deficit is re‑introduced”.
To find out how much you should be eating to hit your goals, you can use an online calorie calculator.
5. YOU’RE CONSTANTLY STRESSED
THE stress hormone cortisol can play a big part in your slimming success.
Research published in the journal Psychoneuroendocrinology found a link between elevated cortisol levels and an increase in appetite, which could make weight loss tricky.
Plus, research in the International Journal of Obesity and Related Metabolic Disorders even connected a higher cortisol response with more belly fat, which suggests that higher cortisol may lead to overeating.
Karen says: “When we release cortisol, it activates our sympathetic nervous system response, which in turn lowers the release of insulin and increases blood sugar levels in the body.
“This increases inflammation and makes us metabolically less active and therefore more likely to develop insulin resistance and prone to weight gain.”
‘Refeed days’ can help to negate the negative effects of a low calorie diet
Dominika Blonska
To slash stress levels and kickstart your weight loss, focus on three key areas.
“Prioritise seven to nine hours of sleep a night, reduce screen time (which blocks the sleep hormone melatonin) a couple of hours before bed, and enjoy daily walks in nature,” Karen adds.
A study in the journal Urban Forestry & Urban Greening found that being outside in nature helped to lower participants’ stress levels, heart rate and blood pressure.
6. YOU KEEP CRAVING SUGAR
CAN’T stay away from the biscuit tin?
“Craving sugar could be a sign that you are in fat storage mode,” says Dominika.
“It can indicate low leptin or high ghrelin levels, or that you have been in a calorie deficit for a little too long.”
‘Refeed days’ can help to negate the negative effects of a low calorie diet.
This is a temporary break from calorie restriction which involves a controlled day of overeating carbs.
But even with these scheduled pauses, it can be hard to maintain willpower when you’re hungry and your body is screaming out for sugar and salt.
That’s where protein and fibre come in.
Dr Henderson says that a sudden urge for sweets often follows a meal low in protein or fibre, when blood sugar is already dipping, while a craving for salty foods can kick in after heavy sweating when sodium losses are higher or when carbohydrate intake is extremely low.
“Matching the craving to its cause, such as adding lean protein and vegetables to curb sweet impulses or replacing electrolytes after exercise (with an electrolyte drink, for example), works better than relying on willpower alone,” she adds.
The mineral chromium may also help manage cravings too.
Evidence is limited, but research published in the journal Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics found that taking chromium daily reduced hunger, cravings and food intake in healthy overweight women.
It’s found in products like Neuaura’s Bloatburn and Hunger Killa.
‘I NEED that bag!’ fashion fans yell about Next’s fruity new accessory as they praise store’s ‘insane’ summer collection
A GOOD bag has the power to elevate any ordinary outfit into something extra special.
So it comes as no surprise that fashion fans are racing to their nearest Next, in a bid to get their hands on one of the stunning new lemon handbags.
The store shared some of its favourite summer items in a picture slideshow on TikTok.
“Psssttt – wanna see some of our fave accessories for summer?” they wrote over the top of the first snap.
They then showed off the bag in question – a gorgeous beaded bright yellow number designed to look like a segment of lemon.
“They need no introduction,” they wrote over the picture.
The £55 beaded bag also comes in an equally cute watermelon design.
And it was clear the bag is going to be a sought after accessory this summer, judging by the hundreds of people commenting on the TikTok.
“Neeeed that lemon bag,” one wrote.
“We love the lemon and watermelon bags, Next!” another praised.
“Fruitylicious on the beach.”
“The lemon bag is going on the wishlist!” a third gushed.
“Obsessed, beaded heaven,” someone else said.
“Sold. God sakes!” another joked.
Other items included in the picture slideshow were a gorgeous shell necklace, which was paired with a green co-ord.
And there are a fair few bags to choose from in store at the moment too.
Like the “perfect summer beach bag” – a stunning cream option with tassels and intricate crochet detailing.
Cow print is also a big trend this summer, with a neck scarf coming in the pattern to “elevate any outfit”.
Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s’ shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They’ve been on runway models’ arms at nearly ever designer show – think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta – and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it’s the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The ’80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we’re likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in ‘80s windbreakers’.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we’re styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn’t matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good – but only as it’s just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life – until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S ’25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
And there are even lace-up cow print loafers – sure to divide style fans.
Fruit continues to be a big theme, with a red bag featuring miniature strawberries on it.
The comments section was once again filled with people praising Next for the epic offerings, with one insisting: “Omg need it all!”
“Next have excelled this summer,” another added.
“I fear Next is eating the other high street shops up atm???????” a third mused.
“Erm ok slay!!!!!!!!” someone else commented.
“Your summer pieces are insane!” another mused.
While someone else said they “can’t afford this”.
“Next is doing so good this season!” someone else concluded.
