      She gave her 72,000 Instagram followers a tantalising insight into the occasion.
      And Anouska’s friend Molly-Mae was equally enthusiastic about it all.
      The ex-Love Island star and fiancee of Tyson Fury’s half-brother Tommy shared shots from what she called the “special day”.
      Molly-Mae posted a clip of singer Jade Leigh Parr performing and added the words: “Gorgeous Gorgeous vibes… Hurry along little baby, you’ve no idea of the life you’re about to have.”

      Anouska, 31, and 28-year-old Luke also posed for beaming pics with their two kids – son Reign, four and daughter Storie, who will be two in May.
      On the long menu, next to an exotic list of cocktails, were some flamboyant versions of familiar favourites.
      These included lemon butter and sea salt edamame, guacamole with home-made nachos, prawns, fondue and yellowfin tuna sashimi ribbons.
      And arguably even more plush – beef tataki, seared beef with truffle chilli dressing, paprika-dusted calamari and habanero matchstick chicken.

      She does, however, post holiday snaps as well as marking major family events, such as announcing the birth of Storie two years ago.
      And she is known too for owning accessories brand Treats Studios.
      The baby shower came after Shaw had a mixed time in United’s 2-1 Premier League win at Aston Villa on Sunday.
      The late smash-and-grab victory, earned by substitute Scott McTominay, lifted the Red Devils to fifth.
      But England ace Shaw went off at half-time, albeit manager Erik ten Hag calling it a “precaution”.
      The Dutchman added: “He had some complaints and we can’t take any risks with him because he’s had many injuries in the past.”

      Her sister Sian has been vocal in her support on social media since and has now taken to Instagram to slam Lauryn’s alleged “online taunts”.
      It comes after Lauryn shared a picture and brief video of one of her and Kyle’s two children appearing to speak Spanish.
      Sian wrote: “Once again we have been inundated with people sending content you’ve uploaded in an attempt to torment my heavily pregnant sister and her family.
      “The selected video clip you shared of your little ‘miracle boy’ (quote taken from your interview on the Victoria Derbyshire show) naming his half brothers is obviously meant to antagonise Annie.

      “However it only show how low you will stoop to get attention. Notably he misses out the name of his full sibling, his sister, but presumably that is because you are saving for another ‘exclusive’?”
      her Instagram story continued: “Did you conveniently forget that you were given the chance for him to meet these half brothers but you refused?
      “This isn’t about showing how he is ‘fluent in Spanish’. This isn’t in the best interests of any of the children. This is, and always has been, about you.
      “I have already been forced to publicly ask you to leave my sister alone and now I’m having to do the same for my nephews!! We aren’t taking the online taunts any longer.

      “You asked ‘When will this end’ in your interview that came out over the weekend. We have been wondering the same.”
      Annie, who is has three kids with Kyle and is currently is seven months pregnant with their fourth, is said to be at “breaking point” due to the spotlight and stress of their split.
      Her friends told The Sun this week: “She is in the final stages of her pregnancy and is terrified about going into labour early.
      “Annie is wrestling with her emotions because of her separation from Kyle and is deeply concerned about the impact of all the children involved.”
      Lauryn told Annie she had given birth to a second child with Kyle over the Christmas period.
      Kyle was subsequently kicked out the family’s £2.5million home on Boxing Day.
      In a statement, she later revealed: “Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together; I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.”
      Meanwhile, Kyle told The Sun he bitterly regrets betraying his “soulmate”.
      He also admitted to making  “idiot choices and idiot decisions” after sleeping with reality TV star Lauryn.

      ‘I didn’t know how to tell my kids he was gone’, says Christian Atsu’s fiancee after ex-Newcastle ace’s tragic death

      by

      CHRISTIAN ATSU’S fiancee has opened up on the heartbreak of dealing with the death of the former Premier League star.Atsu, who had previously played for Chelsea, Newcastle and Everton in England, was starring for Hatayspor in Turkey when an earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale struck on February 6 2023.

      The apartment building Atsu was in collapsed before a second earthquake of equal strength hit hours later, hitting an area of 140,000 square miles across southern Turkey and Syria, killing at least 60,000 people.
      After a desperate 12-day search, Hatayspor manager Murat Uzunmehmet announced Atsu’s body had been found in the rubble.
      One year on from the tragedy, Atsu’s fiancee and mother of their three kids Claire Rupio has now opened up on the tragedy and how it has impacted their lives since.
      The day before the earthquake Atsu had scored a late winner for Hatayspor, with Claire detailing how he had called the family in their Newcastle home before the game.

      Speaking to The Athletic, she said: “He’d called the kids before the game. Then after the game we’d spoken to congratulate him on the goal.
      “It was just normal, he was supposed to call on Monday, but he didn’t.”
      The next call Claire received was from Atsu’s twin sister Christiana Atsupie Twasam, who herself had been informed of the news by Atsu’s close friend and agent Nana Sechere.
      Claire said: “I heard it on the radio first when I was driving them to school and I thought it’s Turkey, but he’ll be fine, nothing will happen to him, that would be absurd.
      Most read in Football
      “Then I saw a lot of missed calls from Christiana after I’d dropped the kids and I thought, ‘What’s happening?’
      “I called her back and she said, ‘His building has collapsed’. I was in shock, I thought, ‘That can’t be true’. I had to take the children out of school before it finished; I didn’t want them to hear it from anybody else.
      Christian Atsu scored incredible goal just hours before ex-Chelsea and Newcastle player reported missing in Turkey earthquake
      “I told them there had been an earthquake where Daddy was playing and they haven’t found him yet. They deserved the respect to know everything. They were very upset and crying. I tried to stay positive and tell them he will be fine.”
      Hope came through when reports – confirmed by the Ghana FA and a Hatayspor official – said Atsu had been rescued and was in hospital. But this would prove not to be the case.
      Nana explained: “I spoke to someone I trusted who said he hadn’t seen Christian and had been to the hospitals. That’s when alarm bells started to ring.”
      Nana and Christiana had both joined the search for Atsu in Turkey along with older brother Isaac and close friend Katalin Comoe, where they tragically confirmed he had been killed.
      In the middle of the night they received a call, with Nana, accompanied to the site by Isaac, saying: “They had found a body they strongly thought was Christian.
      “Two officials took us to a body bag lying on the floor,” he says. “We had seen so many, that even before they were opened (we knew they) weren’t the right shape or size for Christian.
      “But I could tell by the shape of it that it was Christian. We saw him and we broke down.”
      He then called Claire to inform her, with Claire saying: “It was around 3am on Saturday, and when I saw Nana’s name come up on my phone I knew: this is it.
      “I picked up and he was just crying. He said, ‘I’m so sorry’, and he couldn’t say anything more.
      “I needed to figure out how I was going to tell my kids that their dad is gone. It was terrible, there was so much going through my mind.”

      After taking them to football practice, Claire then revealed how she broke the news to Joshua (nine), Godwin (six) and Abigail (three).
      She said: “I told them, ‘They have found your dad, but he didn’t make it’. It’s something I wish no parent has to do.
      “It was heartbreaking, he was everything to them. Losing anyone is difficult, but we couldn’t even say goodbye.”
      Atsu’s body was flown back to Ghana for the funeral in the capital city of Accra, where he was given a military guard of honour.
      Claire attended with the children, and said of the funeral: “There was so much support and love showed to him.
      “There were people with his face on T-shirts and everyone was very welcoming. I love the culture and how they celebrate (someone’s life) with dancing and singing.”
      Atsu’s body lay in state for the public to pay their respects.
      Claire added: “I didn’t want the kids to have that as the last image of him and they respected that, so we walked past with our heads down. I couldn’t really process it; I just went through it.”
      She continued: “When people say, ‘How are you coping?’ I don’t cope. I just survive every day. Mentally, you’re fine for a few days, maybe a week, but then lots of emotion comes.
      “Sometimes I message Christian on WhatsApp — I just need to let it out. ‘Why are you not here?’ or maybe one of the kids needs him.”
      Atsu would have celebrated his 32nd birthday on January 10, with the month proving to be “very emotional” for Claire.
      The same goes for Christiana, who says she broke down on a visit to Chester.
      She said: “I went to Chester. But I broke down there. He was not there.
      “I know grieving has five stages, but I don’t know where I am at the moment. Sometimes I’m in denial, sometimes acceptance, it fluctuates and I feel like I’m not progressing.
      “I’ve lost my mum and my dad, but Christian leaving has had more impact on me than anything.”
      Atsu’s charitable work in Ghana is being commemorated in March with the Christian Atsu Memorial Foundation.
      He had built a school and was funding a number of other projects.

      There are other plans to honour his legacy too, with Nana saying: “I want to do that through football.
      “I want to make sure his name is not forgotten and it’s kept alive in Ghana and beyond.”

      Santos later revealed he is “saddened” and “really upset” with himself after watching the viral video and went on to apologise to the woman as well as her entire family.
      The father also asked for forgiveness from his own family who watched him at the stands.

      “So that’s how you saw it in the video, I was sitting further up [away from the woman] and I was walking down when I saw her waving the Senegalese flag.
      “In the euphoria, we’re having fun, we’re teasing each other, I told her, ‘Give me your number’.

      Guardiola said he will not talk about the personal lives of his players but said there is no plan to strip the Three Lions defender of the armband.
      Asked if the captaincy remained unchanged, he said: “Absolutely, because it’s a decision for the team and not mine.

      The news Walker will stay on as captain comes after he admitted that he almost followed England team-mate Harry Kane in joining Bayern Munich last summer.

      “If I’m in Germany and this happens, Annie leaves and I’m now in Germany on my own. My kids wouldn’t be around the corner where I can see them.
      “There’s pain and emotion at the moment but I can go to the house, take the kids to school, and my little lad to football.”
      He spoke of his pain at betraying his wife Annie and admits that he would not blame her if she chose to go through with a divorce.
      He said: “I think there’s too much pain and too much hurt.
      “For now, I just need to be the best dad that I can be.”

      Annie is mum to three of Kyle Walker’s children and is now expecting a fourth
      Kyle said he has chosen to break his silence on the scandal for the sake of his family.
      In an open and honest conversation with The Sun, he said: “I am a private man but I accept that I am a public figure and I need to address what I’ve done.
      “It hasn’t helped that it has been played out in the media.
      “But I’ve chosen to speak now in the hope that I can at least explain myself and enable my wife and children to have the privacy they so desperately need and deserve.”

      Kyle recalled meeting his wife Annie, who has now taken off her wedding ring, when he was just 17-years-old.
      The childhood sweethearts have since welcomed three sons, and are expecting a fourth.
      “I never envisaged my private life being like this. I never thought I would be a father of six,” he added.

       “My little boy goes to sleep with me every night and to not have him . . . I’m used to being away for long periods of time with England,” he said.
      “We say goodnight on FaceTime. But to know that I’m not with him because of my mistake.”
      TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
      Kyle took full ownership over the pain caused by his secret fling with Lauryn.
      He also apologised to Annie, mum to three of his children and confessed “the only person to blame is me”.
      The footballer confessed his struggle with coming to terms with everything since the bombshell Boxing Day revelation.
      Kyle said there are times he just wants to “curl up in a ball and sleep”.
      “The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I’m aware of and I’ve made stupid choices. But I need to own up to my mistakes — I owe it to everyone,” he added.
      My move to Munich to escape
      KYLE told how he almost followed Harry Kane to Bayern Munich to escape the looming baby scandal.
      The defender verbally agreed a reported £15million move to the German champions in July.
      He said: “I tried to escape. Did I want to leave City? No, of course I didn’t. We’re the best team in the world at the minute.
      “But it was a chance to get away from England and the media I was going to get.
      “I was aware the clock was ticking. I came very close to moving. We were having conversations. I was going to a great club, a massive club. But in the end I couldn’t go.
      “If I’m in Germany and this happens, Annie leaves and I’m now in Germany on my own.
      “My kids wouldn’t be around the corner where I can see them.
      “There’s pain and emotion at the moment but I can go to the house, take the kids to school, and my little lad to football.”

      “My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen.”
      “What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility,” he added.
      “I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.
      “The man that’s meant to love, care and be there for her, did this.”
      He said despite his football achievements, he can’t understand how he could hurt his “best friend” so deeply.
      “That’s something I need to find in myself,” said Kyle.
      “I need to find out why I have done this and why situations have occurred. I am human and I’ve made mistakes on and off the field.

      It comes as…

      “The ones off the field are definitely more damaging and have been more hurtful to me.”
      The England Ace insisted “family comes before anything on this planet”.
      It comes after Lauryn gave birth to a son and later publicly named Kyle as the dad in April 2020,
      He was thrown out of the family home and moved into a rented £8,000-a-month pad.
      But, his wife rekindled their relationship for the sake of their children.
      By August 2022, Lauryn relocated closer to the Man City defender and he then met his son, Kairo, for the first time.
      Then in early October 2022, Kyle travelled to London for groin surgery and secretly met Lauryn.
      The pair later slept with each other, which the England ace said “wasn’t intentional or premeditated”.

      “I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.
      “The man that’s meant to love, care and be there for her, did this.”
      He described days during which he just wants “to curl up in a ball and go to sleep”.
      “My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen,” he added.
      Kyle also insisted that there had never been a relationship between himself and Lauryn when they first met in his early 20s.
      But, in April 2020, Lauryn gave birth to a son a nd later publicly named Kyle as the dad.
      After a brief stint living in a rented £8,000-a-month pad when Annie threw him out, Kyle was welcomed back into the family for the sake of the children.
      However, despite vowing no contact with Lauryn, he met his son Kairo for the first time in August 2022 when they relocated closer to the Man City defender.
      Then in early October 2022, Kyle travelled to London for groin surgery and secretly met Lauryn.
      The pair later slept with each other, which the England ace said “wasn’t intentional or premeditated”.
      “A lot was going on. It’s not an excuse. I’d ruptured my groin, I had a World Cup to get fighting fit for,” he told The Sun.
      By the beginning of November, Lauryn had informed Kyle she was pregnant with their second baby.
      He recounted the moment he nearly fainted and turned “white” when she told him over the phone as he prepped for a session at the training ground.
      Kyle also recalled how playing football amid the pressure was a “release” and said he tried to keep the news secret because he’s “a private person”.
      My move to Munich to escape
      KYLE told how he almost followed Harry Kane to Bayern Munich to escape the looming baby scandal.
      The defender verbally agreed a reported £15million move to the German champions in July.
      He said: “I tried to escape. Did I want to leave City? No, of course I didn’t. We’re the best team in the world at the minute.
      “But it was a chance to get away from England and the media I was going to get.
      “I was aware the clock was ticking. I came very close to moving. We were having conversations. I was going to a great club, a massive club. But in the end I couldn’t go.
      “If I’m in Germany and this happens, Annie leaves and I’m now in Germany on my own.
      “My kids wouldn’t be around the corner where I can see them.
      “There’s pain and emotion at the moment but I can go to the house, take the kids to school, and my little lad to football.”

      However, day after Boxing Day, Lauryn took matters into her own hands and sent Annie an Instagram message, telling her: “I don’t have two baby daddies — I have one.”
      She also shared a photo of Kyle on a playdate with Lauryn and the two children in a park.
      The footballer said he suspected Lauryn would drop the bombshell after discovering Annie was pregnant with their fourth child.
      “She was screaming down the phone, saying Annie’s pregnant. I said she wasn’t. It was none of her business. I felt I had to lie to her because I knew if I told her the truth it was going to blow,” explained Kyle.
