Rochelle Humes’ child only eats meals when dad Marvin dresses up as Spider-Man.
The Heart radio presenter shared a clip to her 1.5 million followers on Instagram of her husband doing flips and cartwheels in the cheap costume in order to get her toddler to eat.
She said of the move: ‘So it turns out us parents apparently spend the equivalent of eight months of our kids’ childhood negotiating with them. Well I couldn’t agree more, I read this and I thought this is me.
‘My skills of negotiation, I mean I could cut anyone a deal at the minute, I feel like if I sat in front of that Dragons’ Den panel, I would get a good deal – my negotiation skills are on fire. I don’t know if you’re attempting to feed your kids lunch right now but this is always where my issue lies.’
The presenter had opted for unconventional methods of making her fussy child Valentina (she also has daughter Alaia-Mae) eat something other than plain Peppa Pig-shaped pasta and toast with cheese and ketchup on the side.
Rochelle continued: ‘I mean she’s sort of eating the life of a uni student already at two. But obviously I’m a mum I want her to be nutritious and I’m getting really bothered by it, it keeps me up at night, honestly, thinking that she hasn’t eaten properly.’
Marvin seemed to enjoy wearing the Spider-Man costume a little too much (Picture: @rochellehumes/Instagram)
As her daughter is obsessed with Spider-Man, Rochelle came up with the brilliant plan to order her singer husband a ‘beautiful’ Spider-Man outfit off of Amazon Prime to wear around their daughter during lunch and dinner times.
The presenter gleefully continued: ‘It’s only worked! She’s eating every meal. I say well Spider-Man won’t come to visit you if you don’t eat all your dinner. Only problem is, it’s very unsightly.
‘I’ll leave it to your imagination, it’s tight, it’s lycra. And yeah, very questionable in places. I’ll leave you at that. [sic]’
Rochelle’s hilarious post on social media has received many comments from her celebrity friends.
This Morning’s Dr Ranj wrote: ‘I’m guessing you asked Marv to keep the outfit?’
Ore Oduba, who won the fourteenth series of Strictly, commented: ‘The commitment is unparalleled, ps spidey you’ve never looked hotter’.
Heart’s Feel Good Weekend with Rochelle Humes airs Saturdays from 10am – 1pm.

Rachel Brosnahan filming on The Marvelous Mrs Maisel season 3 (Picture: Jose Perez/Splash News)
Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein have been pictured filming for Marvelous Mrs Maisel season three, and it seems their partnership hasn’t lost its bite.
The pair play Miriam ‘Midge’ Maisel and Susie Myerson respectively in Amazon’s critically-praised comedy-drama, as they both navigate the world of stand-up comedy in 1950s New York.
New pictures have been released from filming on the third season, showing Rachel and Alex arguing while going through the agony of the classic box shimmy through a heavy door.
It coincides with the release of a teaser trailer, which sees the pair hit the road with singer Shy Baldwin (Leroy McClain) as they travel to Miami.

The new season also sees Midge embark on an USO tour to meet the troops, in scenes primed to tickle the nostalgia bones with the show’s astounding production values.
There’s some new cast members this time around too, including Sterling K. Brown in an unknown role, while Michael Zegen, Kevin Pollak and Marin Hinkle all reprise their roles.
The Marvelous Mrs Maisel recently bagged 20 Emmy nominations for its second season, with Rachel and Alex both landing awards for the first season in 2018.
You can check out more pictures below.

Marvel bosses have applauded Robert Downey Jr and Chris Evans’ final turn as Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, with a heart-warming look behind the scenes.
Both characters received a hefty farewell in the bonus features for the DVD release of the Marvel Studios film, with bosses explaining casting Robert in the role of Tony/Iron Man was a ‘risky’ move seeing as the actor wasn’t a ‘family-friendly’ name for their comics hero.
Casting directors and producers spoke of how while they were hesitant in giving the role to the reformed ‘bad boy’, Iron Man director Jon Favreau wasn’t giving up.
Insisting Robert was the only man who could do it, Sarah Finn, the casting director for the 2008 film, explained they ‘kept coming back to’ the actor.
As Iron Man took his final bow in Endgame, after Snapping away Thanos before dying in front of his pals, the bonus clip was a fitting memory for the iconic character.
And we’re 100% in tears over here.
Aside from the behind-the-scenes interviews and tributes, one deleted scene on the DVD shows the Avengers kneeling for a dead Iron Man. Three, two, one, and we’re crying. On your left.
One explained in the revisit to the earlier works in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: ‘If we didn’t cast [Robert] that was the biggest risk.’
Showing his original screen tests as the character, Robert blew everyone away with a Marvel Studios honcho saying: ‘It was clear no one else could play it.’
Even Robert himself backed his prowess, telling behind the scenes cameras: ‘I was certain it would work, the rest his history.’
When it comes to Chris, who played an important role alongside Tony in the fight for good over the years, Cap was referenced as the ‘backbone’ of the universe.
His Avengers co-stars heaped praise on Chris’ turn as one of the OG Avengers with Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow) saying she ‘cannot imagine anyone else’ in the role while Robert mused over the years Chris was turning ‘more and more into Cap’.
Because he’s a saint, that’s why.
Chris reflected on his own story as Cap, noting the audience had to fall in love with ‘skinny Steve’, before he’s served the super soldier serum and comes out all flexing muscles and ‘America’s a**’ to win all the wars.
He added of his turn: ‘I’ve had such good fortune.’
Ah God, pass the tissues.
Avengers: Endgame is on DVD now and blu-ray™ from 2 September.

A source revealed to Closer magazine: ‘She was really upfront with him at the start about the scandal she’s been through. She’s told pals there’s nothing he can Google about her that he doesn’t already know.
‘She laid her cards on the table with him and he’s been incredibly supportive and accepts her for who she is.’
The star went from the self-proclaimed ‘most hated girl in Britain’ to dating Married At First Sight’s Jason after months in recluse.
During the ‘punchgate’ scandal, Roxanne called for the Coronation Street actor to be removed after blaming him for ‘repeatedly’ punching her, despite footage showing the two play fighting.
Roxanne showed off her new man, captioning the photo: ‘I’m with you’ (Picture: @roxannepallettofficial/Instagram)
She told Big Brother: ‘A boy has punched me repeatedly, unprovoked, completely deliberate. He actually punched me. Like a boxer would [strike] a back.
‘We weren’t play fighting. It wasn’t banter. It wasn’t a joke. There was no exchange.
After the incident, the star admitted she didn’t want to be alive as she faced a lot of backlash but went to therapy to deal with her issues.
However, Roxanne has finally moved on and found herself firefighter Jason who recently divorced his wife Cortney Hendrix whom he met on Married At First Sight.
The sources said: ‘Roxanne’s circle obviously want what’s best for her and can’t deny the positive affect he’s had on her. Unlike her previous relationships, she’s taking her time and has tried to keep things private – which is why no one knew they’d been together for two months until they were seen last week.
‘She’s insisted she’s in a very different frame of mind now and is making decisions based on thought and not impulse – which is credited to a year of therapy.’
The same sources claim Roxanne has insisted that she is determined to keep things private this time around, after ‘embarrassingly’ marrying Lee Walton a week after meeting him back in December 2017.

The actor, who shares sons Malachy, 13, and Aran, 12 with his wife Yvonne McGuinness, revealed that he has to ‘cancel reality for a little while’ while filming – and it all sounds just a little unsettling.
He went on to explain to Radio Times: ‘Part of acting in film and television is that you have to go from sitting around in a trailer twiddling your thumbs, doing the crossword or whatever, to bang! Being in it. So if you’re coming from a standstill, it doesn’t work.’
The star added: ‘So she’s right, I’m not all there when I’m filming. And in terms of life when we’re filming: I don’t socialise, I just go home, learn the lines, go to bed.’

He said: ‘I think this year feels to me, a bit more about the inside of Tommy’s head, a little more, whereas last year was very much like external forces, you know?’
Speaking to Digital Spy about Tommy’s challenges –which appear to be coming from both external forces in the form of fascist Oswald Mosley, and internal ones has he attempts to extricate himself from London’s criminal underbelly, he explained: ‘In the guise of the Mafia, it was pretty conventional what he was dealing with.’

On the subject of being a celebrity, he told GQ back in 2016: ‘I’m just a bit s*** at it.
‘I realised that early on that I aspire to be good at my craft, so that’s what I focus on.
‘The less people know about you, it seems to be me to more likely you’ll be able to convince them you’re someone else on screen. It seems obvious, doesn’t it [sic]?’

If you don’t wear baggy clothes, that’s just fine (Picture: EPA)
Billie Eilish is flying the flag for all that is awesome, as she recently slammed anyone who shames her fans for not dressing in baggy clothing.
The 17-year-old Bad Guy hitmaker’s wardrobe is usually something involving a t-shirt and baggy shorts, with trainers or epic boots.
Allows her to do her thing. It’s her look. We love it.
But it’s caused some to shame others who choose not to dress in her signature look and she’s not having it.
Chatting with 46-year-old Pharrell Williams in V Magazine’s 21st-anniversary issue, she spoke of both the positives and negatives of having such an aesthetic put back on her.
‘I wear baggy sh*t and I wear what I want… But of course, everyone sees it as, “She’s saying no to being sexualised,” and, “She’s saying no to being the stereotypical female”,’ Billie explained.

‘It’s a weird thing because I know a lot of what I hear is a positive or people trying to be positive about how I dress; how I am never really out there wearing nothing, or wearing dresses. I’ve heard that.’
She continued: ‘The positive comments about how I dress have this sl*t-shaming element. Like, “I am so glad that you’re dressing like a boy, so other girls can dress like boys, so that they aren’t sl*ts”.
‘That’s basically what it sounds like to me. And I can’t overstate how strongly I do not appreciate that, at all.’
Because she’s a legend, the singer went on to explain how she supports any style her fans are choosing to front so long as they’re owning it in their own skin.
We just have to be nicer as she added: ‘I don’t like that there’s this weird new world of supporting me by shaming people that may not want to dress like me.’
It’s not the first time she’s opened up on her outfit choices.
She told Vogue Australia that the reason she never usually wears tight clothes is so that nobody knows what she looks like under her ‘layers and layers’ of oversized clothing, and therefore can’t judge her based on her shape.
Billie explained: ‘What I like about dressing like I’m 800 sizes bigger than I am is it kind of gives nobody the opportunity to judge what your body looks like. I don’t want to give anyone the excuse of judging.
‘And it’s not like everyone’s going to judge you but they all do it in their head. Like, even if you’re not trying to, anything you look at you judge. That’s just how we all work, that’s how human beings work.
‘I want layers and layers and layers. I want to be mysterious. You don’t know what’s underneath and you don’t know what’s on top.’

Will and Jada are one of Hollywood’s golden couples but they’re not perfect (Picture: Getty Images)
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith discussing their marriage troubles on an episode of Red Table Talk last year made for truly compelling viewing.
It opened the doors to one of Hollywood’s golden couples with a marriage lasting almost 22 years and Jada, 47, admits she was relieved they had the chance to shatter the ‘illusion of a perfect marriage’.
During season one of the hit Facebook Watch series, Will, 50, joined his wife to address claims they were Scientologists and swingers while also detailing how they almost broke up.
Reflecting on their honest chat, Jada told Metro.co.uk: ‘When Will came, it was another kind of healing and way to shed this kind of illusion of perfection.
‘We were both ready to just be rid of whatever ideas people had about us it’s like, hey. This is what our truth is and you can take it or leave it but this is what it is.’
She added: ‘There’s a freedom in that but it was also a really lovely moment for him and I as well.’
The Gotham actress reveals how Will was particularly supportive when she decided to allow the cameras into their home when she launched Red Table Talk in 2018.

The series features Jada having hard-hitting conversations on a range of topics alongside her mother Adrienne Banfield and daughter Willow, her youngest child with the Bad Boys actor.
‘Will was really supportive and I think he was just really happy to see me open myself up in that way,’ Jada explained.
‘He was probably surprised because I tend to be really private. Especially when it comes to my home and who I let in.
‘I think he looked at that and was like wow, she’s taking a big leap with this one and I think he found that exciting.’
Jada admits that the series has strengthened her relationship with her mother the most because she and Willow, 18, have ‘always had these conversations from the day she was born’.
She added: ‘But my mother and I haven’t talked about so I feel like it’s definitely created a close bond between she and I.’
Sharing the impact it’s had on her own personal growth, Jada revealed: ‘It’s just been a lot of healing and in my journey of being able to live my authentic self in a different way.
‘I’m on that journey of peeling back masks and getting closer to the authentic me.
‘The Red Table’s helping me get closer to my freedom. Because I’m on the same journey as everybody else and I’m trying to figure out how to navigate this thing called life.’
New episodes of Red Table Talk coming September, exclusively on Facebook Watch.

Racquel Bailey is feeling pretty good right now after her Tyler Perry billboard stunt ended up helping her land a dream role (Picture: Instagram/ imracquelbailey)
2019 is the year up and coming actress Racquel took a risk for her career and it technically paid off.
The relatively unknown actress made headlines after Tyler made a post about the fact she had paid for a billboard to get his attention so he would hire her.
And now the star is set to feature in his new TV project Sistas which will air on Black Entertainment Television (BET).
According to TMZ, she was cast in a role two weeks ago and shot some scenes for the Season One finale with Tyler in Atlanta.
There also talk that she might also appear in the second season of the show – which revolves around a group of black women from different walks of life who bond over the fact they are all single.
But before any other aspiring actresses start splashing their cash on billboards, you might wanna know that Tyler Perry is NOT a fan of that tactic.
Though Tyler Perry told her off for the billboard, he has hired her for his new BET show (Picture: Invision)
‘Here’s the deal. This is not the way to get my attention if you’re looking for a role in one of my shows,’ he began when he wrote about the billboard on Instagram. ‘Please DON’T DO THIS, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!’
‘This is the third time that someone has done this. PLEASE STOP! To audition is FREE!! I’m sure you can use that money for a better purpose.’
He continued: ‘I love that you want to work with me, and I love that you invest in yourself. But when you do things like this it puts my team on high alert and makes me look at you sideways. I know the message that you want to send is a positive one, but this comes across as the opposite.’
Tyler explained: ‘Again, the best way to work for me is to AUDITION and it’s FREE! We post breakdowns all the time for actors. JUST COME AND AUDITION.
Plus, Racquel has received a few offers from other casting directors as well (Picture: Instagram/ imracquelbailey)
‘And by the way, you were great in THE NIGHT OF! It was my favorite show a couple years ago. I ALREADY SAW YOU!!
‘So just audition and keep your money!! Again, I appreciate your effort, but that’s not the way to work for me,’ he concluded. ‘God bless you dreamer. I have no doubt you will make it one day!!’
But while Tyler didn’t like the billboard, some other people in Hollywood appeared to appreciate her efforts as Racquel was contacted by several casting directors because of Tyler’s post.
She went on 20 auditions and bagged two roles before getting Sistas, while she still has more auditions to come!

He added: ‘#BackstreetBoys #mtvbestgroup #VMA #vmas #giveittojonasbrothers or #BTS’.

He is currently a part-time waiter as he prepares to study Sports Science at university.
Reacting to the announcement that he would be a baker this year, he tweeted: ‘Absolutely mental I still can’t believe it!’
Jamie, an identical twin, was taught to bake by his grandparents and was inspired to try out a plaited loaf after watching an episode of the Channel 4 show.
When we see him in the tent next week, we might get some interesting flavour combinations from him as he enjoys experimenting with what he can find at home.
He also likes to bravely tackle more technically challenge bakes such as croquembouche and croissants.

As ever with reality TV shows, people are going to hunting around for the contestants’ social media so they can get a bit of an inside look at their lives.
One picture sees him smizing as he takes a pic on his phone, while in another he points the camera at a mirror and jokes: ‘If the mirror isn’t dirty is there any point in posting.’
Jamie is working part-time as a waiter as he prepares to start uni (Picture: Instagram)
Sadly there isn’t any evidence of his cooking skills, but we’re not surprised as he seems to keep his kitchen skills a secret.
He admitted ahead of the new series: ‘None of my mates even know that I bake, so they will be shocked just to see me in an apron.’
One friend commented on this picture: ‘Let me borrow those biceps’ (Picture: Instagram)

Speaking about the first week he entered the iconic tent, Jamie admitted the nerves got to him a bit.
If our baking was going to be judged by Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith we’d be anxious too!
He said: ‘I was quite nervous at the beginning but by the second day the bakers had all gelled and we were all pretty much best mates, and it was great.
‘When they called to tell me [I got in] it was a real shock, I really wasn’t expecting it at all. But a nice shock!’
The Great British Bake Off starts 27 August at 8pm on Channel 4.

Pewds – real name Felix Kjellberg – and Marzia met way back when in 2011 when her best friend watched some of the star’s videos and found him pretty funny.
They chatted on Facebook for a bit (it truly is a sign of the times), before Felix went to visit her in Italy.
Throughout 2012, the pair lived in Sweden and Italy, before travelling to Los Angeles, and then settling down in Brighton in 2013 – also home of YouTube stars Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deyes – before getting three dogs together, Maya, Ynk, and Edgar.
Marzia made a good few appearances on Felix’s channel, from playing Cards Against Humanity together back in 2013 and a Try Not To Cringe challenge in 2016, to actually discussing their wedding plans.
The couple met back in 2011 (Picture: Instagram/ pewdiepie)
We love a glow up.
The Italian star was also a successful YouTuber in her own right, building a following of more than seven million from her videos, with the nickname CutiePie. Because all good couples have matching nicknames, right?
While Marzia announced it with a simple: ‘Felix proposed!’, her hubby-to-be went with slightly more unsure: ‘She said she’d think about it.’
However, not everything was smooth sailing as, in October 2018, Marzia revealed she was quitting YouTube for good in an honest video about mental health.
‘All I have is this feeling that it is time for me to try something new in my life,’ she said at the time. ‘This may seem so sudden to most of you, probably, but it is something that I knew for a long time. Especially this year I’ve struggled with finding a reason to keep going.’
She went on to add: ‘I was thrilled for Felix, but I felt like I was a fraud. I definitely didn’t deserve all the attention. I just happened to know someone who did.’
Fans were thrilled, then, when the star returned to make an appearance on her fiancé’s channel in March of this year to chat all things wedding plans.
Felix proposed during a trip to Japan (Picture: Instagram/ pewdiepie)
‘We thought about Japan. I really like the idea of eloping and going to Japan,’ Marzia said as she chatted about the potential location, before adding ‘everything was set’.
When it came to matters of the guest list, someone asked them whether other YouTube vloggers were scoring a pew on the altar.
‘A few, but we’re keeping the guest list very small,’ Marzia said.
Felix jokingly added: ‘So if you’re a YouTuber and not invited, that means we hate you.’
There you have it.
Cut to a few days ago – the Swedish star made a sweet life update all about the changes in his life and on his channel.
Revealing that he was getting married ‘soon,’ the 29-year-old added: ‘Marzia, I can’t wait to be your husband.’
Well, now we’re emotional.
Clearly, fans didn’t realise just how soon the star meant as, before we knew it, he was posting snaps of himself and his beau walking down the aisle, surrounded by their family and friends.
We love a happy ending.

Spider-Man is somehow still in high school after Thanos’ snap (Picture: Marvel Studios)
Marvel fans just couldn’t understand how Peter Parker was still in high school after re-emerging from Thanos’ snap in Avengers: Endgame.
But according to the Russo Brothers, the reason is actually quite simple.
Endgame revealed that Spider-Man hadn’t aged at all during the five years after Thanos’ snap, while the superheroes who did survive aged like the rest of us.
It’s been a head-scratcher for many Marvel fans but Anthony and Joseph Russo have finally broken it down for us.
Thanks guys.
Answering a fan who questioned how Spider-Man is still 15, Anthony said in a video for Wired: ‘Anybody who did go away at the snap, when they come back they come back at the moment they went away.
‘So they sort of miss those five years while everybody who didn’t go away was ageing in those five years like they normally do.’
Riiight, we are on-board.
Giving us further clarification, Joseph chimed in: ‘So you didn’t age if you were zapped out of existence, you would just stop existing, then when you were brought back you would begin existing again so no, the baby would not be five years older.
‘The baby would just be the exact same age it was when it disappeared.’
Again for those in the back, he added: ‘So Tom Hollander’s Peter Parker character would be the same age he was when he disappeared.’
So that’s all pretty straight-forward, but why did the Russo Bros settle on five years and not 10 or 20?
‘Basically, we wanted to pick a period of time that was long enough to have forced everybody to move on,’ Anthony explained.
‘You can no longer be clinging to what we should have done, how we should have done it differently.
‘We wanted everybody to go through a life cycle, they had to really commit to an existence where this was their new reality. And five years just seemed like the right amount of time for that.’

Sophie threw a lavish Bond-themed party for Joe’s 30th birthday (Picture: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images)
Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift don’t just have the same taste in men, but in clothes too after the Game of Thrones actor chose the same black dress Taylor wore three years ago for Joe Jonas’s birthday party.
Taylor, 29 – who also briefly dated Joe around 10 years ago – wore the black, floor length gown with a split to the navel and a gold choker to the Vanity Fair Oscars party in 2016.
The gown doesn’t come cheap, with similar designs from Alexandre Vauthier costing upwards of £4,600 – just as well they’re all a bunch of millionaires then, eh?
Sophie had organised the party to mark Joe’s third decade, which took place at Cipriani, on Wall Street in New York’s financial district.
Joe arrived in true Bond style in an Aston Martin and rocking a white tuxedo, and guests were able to play poker (with personalised Joe Jonas money) and were served Martinis – shaken, not stirred, naturally.

Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra as well as Kevin Jonas and his wife Danielle were on the guest list as well as some of his close friends.
It doesn’t look like Taylor Swift made the cut however, which we guess is kind of a good thing – there’s nothing worse than turning up to a party in the same dress as someone else, is there?
She explained: ‘That was too much. Yeah, that was too much. I was 18. We laugh about it now, but that was mouthy, just teenage stuff there.

Taylor is dropping snippets of her song lyrics every day until Friday (Picture: @taylorswift/Instagram)
Taylor Swift is keeping herself busy in the run-up to her album release on Friday, by releasing new lyrics everyday.
Fans will be delighted to hear that the You Need To Calm Down singer created a special playlist called Love, Taylor: The Lover Enhanced Album on Spotify that contains goodies and audio message love letters from the singer herself.
The 29 year old posted a video on the playlist as well as her social media saying: ‘Welcome to the Lover Enhanced Album playlist. Every day until the release of my new album Lover, I’ll be sharing unreleased lyrics that nobody’s seen before so keep checking back.’
The creative playlist will include a handwritten note for all super fans out there, so get your Spotify Premium accounts ready.
‘Dear Lover, I can’t talk to you when you’re like this,’ was released earlier today, with Taylor reading out the lyrics: ‘I can’t talk to you when you’re like this/ Staring out the window like I’m not your favourite town/ I’m New York City’.
Fortunately, those following this playlist will also get to listen to the four Lover songs already released: ME!, You Need To Calm Down, The Archer, and Lover as well Taylor’s favourite love songs.

By the time that Lover is released this Friday, loyal fans will have full access to all 18 of the album’s songs, messages to fans from the star, as well as the stories behind each and every song.
Meanwhile, the singer put her eagle-eyed fans to the test in yet another sneaky video.
A new Amazon Music ad featuring her single You Need to Calm Down focuses on a set of singing lips with a backdrop of flowers and butterflies.
However, in a ridiculously short nanosecond, one of the butterfly wings spells out Cruel Summer, a track on her new album.
The quick appearance of the black and white butterfly in this clip has made many fans believe it could be another single.
Taylor’s famous for teasing fans with hidden Easter eggs in her posts, and with three more days to go until the big release, everyone’s going to keep a close eye on Taylor’s social media accounts.
Lover is set to be released worldwide on Friday 23 August.

We need Holly Willoughby on Cribs UK ASAP (Picture: Rex)
MTV Cribs UK has just kicked off, with a new batch of famous faces showing us all around their plush homes.
However, there are a couple of celebrity houses they wouldn’t want to take a peek through the wardrobes of – including Holly Willoughby and Simon Cowell.
Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk, Charlotte Dawson and Towie’s Debbie Douglas went so far as to claim the This Morning host would have a ‘boring, normal’ home.
Which actually sounds pretty swanky to us…
When Yazmin Oukhellou suggested she wanted Phillip Schofield’s best pal to appear on Cribs UK, Charlotte replied: ‘I think it would look boring, yeah, very normal.’
‘It would be quite Laura Ashley, I think,’ Debbie agreed.

And Lydia Bright’s mum also wants to steer clear of Simon Cowell’s pad.
‘He’d be boring, Simon Cowell,’ she continued. ‘You’d have to put those sock things over your shoes when you go in.’
‘Piers Morgan. That’ll be interesting! I fancy him as well, I think he’s lovely,’ Debbie added. ‘I would like to see Stormzy’s house!’
While Charlotte wants to skulk around Boris Johnson’s quarters at Downing Street.
Don’t. We. All.
CRIBS UK airs on Mondays at 8pm on MTV.

Her parents, Philippa and Luke Hallinan, were surprised at the age gap between the rumoured couple, and claimed Emily said the pair were just friends.
Philippa, also 56, told the Daily Mail that Emily had told her parents over the weekend that she was ‘friendly’ with Nick: ‘She told us about Nick – there is rather a big age gap between them! But we’ve not met him and I don’t think it’s likely we will meet him.
‘She told me about it, they are friends as far as I know. She met him through work, through a direct messaging thing, in her previous job.’
Her father, Luke, added: ‘As far as we know there isn’t a relationship but you’d better ask her, really.’
Emily and Nick were spotted on a ‘date’ last week as they went to watch Everybody’s Talking About Jamie in the West End.
Emily’s parents say she told them the pair were just friends.
A source told The Sun: ‘They arrived pretty incognito but were definitely on a date inside. She was cosying up to him during the show and they shared a couple of tender moments during the emotional parts.
‘It didn’t appear to be a serious relationship but it’s clear that they were into each other.’
The couple met over Twitter last year when Emily messaged Nick about a work project and he told her to DM him about working together.
Nick was also spotted on a night out in Soho with another female friend earlier this month, when the pair spent the night at a private members’ club until 3am.
Metro.co.uk have contacted Nick’s reps for comment.

There’s a Practical Magic prequel is in the works but it is not going to focus on Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock’s characters (Picture: Rex Features)
Practical Magic is coming to the small screen but things are going to be a little bit different from the cult classic film released back in 1998.
The upcoming HBO Max series titled Rules of Magic is going to be a prequel focused on Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest’s characters Aunt Frances and Aunty Bridget, according to Variety.
Taking inspiration from the original The Rules of Magic novels which inspired the 90s film, the series focuses on the Owens kids – Frances, Bridget and Vincent – who are three children living in 1960s New York.
‘Set in 1960s New York City, the series follows three troubled siblings—Franny, Jet, and Vincent Owens—who wrestle with “abnormalities” that have kept them isolated,’ the synopsis reads.
‘But the tumultuous times unearth the extraordinary discovery that they are, in fact, descendants of a bloodline of witches.’
It concludes: ‘The two sisters will become the revered, and sometimes feared, aunts in ‘Practical Magic,’ while their brother will leave an unexpected legacy.’

HBO Max is making a "Practical Magic" prequel series set in 1960s NYC, revolving around Stockard Channing & Dianne Wiest's characters and written by #JessicaJones boss Melissa Rosenberg?!?
Just like the film saw Sally and Gillian – played by Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman – come into their own with their powers, the prequel will see the Owens kids do the same.
HBO has made a 10-script order for Melissa Rosenberg, who was the creator of Jessica Jones, to lead a team that will bring the magical tale to life.
And fans can’t wait to see some of their favourite witches back on screen in the new prequel.
Better get those midnight margaritas ready, folks!

The couple tied the knot after eight years (Picture: Jessicakobeissi/Instagram/PewDiePie)
PewDiePie and Marzia Bisognin have been dubbed YouTube’s ‘royal couple’ as pals MrBeast, JackSepticEye and Roomie are among the stars to congratulate the pair on their wedding.
Sharing some gorgeous snaps on Twitter, Felix declared himself as ‘so lucky’, and the outpouring of love began.
‘Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!’ MrBeast told them.
JackSepticEye added: ‘Love you guys!! Congrats on an amazing day. You guys looked so beautiful.’
Dave Brown got nostalgic (Picture: Twitter)
‘Best wedding, best people. Love you guys,’ Roomie, who collaborated with Felix on his song Congratulations, told him.
Smosh’s Ian Hecox told Felix: ‘The only Royal Couple I recognize.’
MrBeast was over the moon (Picture: Twitter)
DanTDM said: ‘Congratulations! These pictures are stunning,’ while JacksFilms told the Swedish star: ‘Huge congratulations!!’
David Brown, also known as BoyInABand, who was at the wedding, threw it back to tell his pal: ‘I remember seeing a video in like 2011 where you were excited about your new girlfriend. So happy for you guys :)’.
JackSepticEye attended the big day (Picture: Twitter)
‘Congrats fam,’ the star’s editor Sive said, before revealing the sad news that he was busy keeping the PewDiePie channel going so couldn’t attend. Justice for Sive.
The Swedish star revealed the happy news on Twitter as he posted adorable snaps with his new wife on their big day.
Smosh’s Ian Hecox dubbed them YouTube’s ‘royal couple’ (Picture: Twitter)
‘We are married!!! I’m the happiest I can be. I’m so lucky to share my life with this amazing woman,’ he wrote as the pair grinned away in the pictures.
The sweet couple, who previously chatted about their wedding plans in a video, can be seen beaming at each other in one picture after their beautiful woodland ceremony, with Marzia leaning her head on her new husband’s shoulder on another.
In one more snap, the 26-year-old can be seen holding a simple bouquet as the pair walk down the aisle with their friends blowing bubbles – presumably a more personal take on the confetti tradition.
So sweet!

There’s a whole heap of superheroes you’re yet to meet in The Boys (Picture: Amazon Prime; Dynamite Entertainment)
The Boys, to paraphrase that grammatically incorrect phrase, have done very well. Amazon TV’s adaptation of Garth Ennis’ satirical, mature take on the superhero genre has been a runaway success.
Production on Season two is already in full swing too with Bily star Karl Urban sharing the first photo of his vigilante on Instagram, so we’ll be seeing more of the titular group and their superpowered adversaries in the future.
The Season one finale left The Boys’ chief antagonists – The Seven – in a spot of bother though. With Translucent dead, The Deep banished to Ohio, A-Train incapacitated after suffering a drug-induced heart attack, and Starlight fraternising with Hughie, The Seven are looking more like The Trio with each passing day.
Unfortunately for The Boys, there are plenty more ‘Supes’ who could fill these vacant positions. Amazon has already confirmed that one new superhero – Stormfront – will appear in Season 2 and, with seven superhero groups present in the comics, there will be more Compound V-produced individuals for Billy and co. to deal with.
Here are six superpowered beings that we want to see show up in Season 2:
The Doofer
The Doofer would be a solid choice (Picture: Dynamite Entertainment)
A left-field suggestion if ever there was one. The leader of the Fantastico supergroup, The Doofer would be a solid – pun intended – inclusion, if for nothing else than the fact he’s made of bricks. A spoof of The Fantastic Four’s The Thing, The Doofer’s comic book role is a comparatively small one, but Amazon could easily flesh out his story for its hit show.
The Boys has already done a good job of introducing the comics’ wacky and downright weird characters – The Deep’s torso-placed gills for one – so making The Doofer part of the cast wouldn’t be a stretch. The only thing likely to go against his inclusion is Amazon’s seeming preference for its superheroes to be human rather than humanoid.
Being made of bricks, The Doofer would need to be an entirely CGI creation. If Amazon added him to the cast, though, it would be hilarious to see Billy have a field day making jokes at his expense.
Holy Mary
How about Holy Mary, a nun inspired superhero? (Picture: Dynamite Entertainment)
A member of the Young Americans group, Holy Mary is a nun-inspired superhero with an intriguing power. Her primary ability is her beauty, and it enables her to manipulate men to do her bidding.
Holy Mary is something of a Starlight rival in the comics. She ends up sleeping with Drummer Boy – another Young Americans member – who was involved with Starlight, and her potential Season two introduction would add an interesting sub-plot between the pair if she was promoted to The Seven.
Her superpower would make her a tough opponent for The Boys to deal with too. Holy Mary could exploit a weakness within their ranks by causing someone, like Frenchie or Hughie, to side against Billy unknowingly.
The Boys don’t work well together at the best of times and Holy Mary, and the request of someone like Homelander, could prove to be a formidable adversary if she was added to the cast.
Big Game
Big Game could be The Boys’ biggest obstacle in bringing The Seven down (Picture: Dynamite Entertainment)
The leader of Teenage Kix in the comics, Big Game’s superhuman strength, durability, and power of flight aren’t unusual in the superhero domain. His ability to use his powers from a tactical point of view, however, stand him out from his peers and his leadership qualities rival those of anyone in The Seven.
It’s this tactical acumen that could make him an intriguing addition to The Boys season two. If Big Game was able to get The Seven to work as a unit, instead of bickering amongst themselves, it could prove to be a major obstacle to The Boys’ hopes of bringing them down.
Tek Knight
Even fans of the Amazon series have heard of Tek Knight (Picture: Dynamite Entertainment)
Tek Knight was name-dropped in season one, so seeing him introduced properly in season two wouldn’t be a huge surprise. Tek Knight is a founding member of the Payback supergroup who didn’t gain his powers from Compound V. Instead, he uses a technologically advanced suit, a variety of vehicles, and operates out of a cave-based headquarters. It’s almost like he was influenced by the alter-egos of a certain Mr. Wayne and Mr. Stark.
He’s never a target for The Boys in the comics as he doesn’t engage in corrupt or immoral acts. Tek Knight could be written in a different way for The Boys’ TV show though, and making him a new member of The Seven could lead to some fun scenes with fellow Batman-like hero Black Noir.
Crimson Countess
Will Crimson Countess join The Boys season 2 (Picture: Dynamite Entertainment)
Another Payback super-team member, Crimson Countess is all about heat-related powers. Having an ability that no other ‘Supe’ possesses would make her a unique inclusion and offer another challenge for The Boys to overcome.
Believed to be having an affair with Stormfront in the comics, Crimson Countess would enable the show’s producers to adapt this plot thread and officially make them partners.
If both became members of the Seven, it could even make Homelander and Queen Maeve reignite their past relationship if they’re daunted at the prospect of a new power couple in town.
The Boys’ version of Scarlet Witch met her end at Billy’s hands – literally – in the comics after she attacked his dog Terror. Bringing her into the Season 2 fold would allow this storyline to be adapted for the screen, and introduce us to Billy’s lovable-but-vicious pooch.
The G-Men
The G-Men could be The Seven’s new rivals (Picture: Dynamite Entertainment)
We’re cheating with this last entry as the G-Men, like The Seven, are a fully-fledged supergroup. In the comics, though, the G-Men are Vought’s most bankable and popular team, and their addition would make for a gripping rivalry between themselves and The Seven.
Founded by John Godolkin – an individual without superpowers – the G-Men could be brought in to replace The Seven. After all, there’s only three of them left and, with Madelyn Stillwell’s death at Homelander’s hands in Season 1, there’s a power vacuum at the top of Vought International.
Season 2 wouldn’t need to introduce all 10 main members of the G-Men. Bringing Godolkin and superheroes like Five-Oh, Cold Snap, and Groundhawk into the fold would make for uneasy-but-funny viewing. It could even force The Boys and The Seven to form an unlikely alliance to dispose of the G-Men and set up the events of a potential Season 3.
The Boys season 2 is expected to arrive on Amazon Prime in 2020.
