Shaughna previously begged fans “not to judge” her after Billy Webb, 29, was charged with drug offences.

In September she told fans she’d been with Billy, who she shares daughter Lucia with, for four years.

Now, she’s revealed to her legion of followers that he has been released.

Shaughna, 30, shared a really sweet video with their baby girl as they enjoyed a festive day out visiting Santa Claus.

The Love Island star penned: “If you had told me this time last year, that me and Billy would be taking Lucia to see Santa next Christmas, I probably wouldn’t have let myself believe you

“The best couple of days, this Christmas is going to be so special.”

In the video, Shaughna could be seen cuddling her little one, before following her around with the camera as she explored the festive wonderland.

Her Love Island co-star Demi Jones penned: “I’m so unbelievably happy for you.”

And Towie’s Frankie Sims wrote: “Love this sm.”

Shaughna had previously hinted that she’d be able to spend Christmas with Billy, writing: “Billy should be spending Christmas with us, and we can’t wait.”

Billy was handed a jail term after admitting conspiracy to supply 4.5kg of cocaine worth at least £360,000,

She was pregnant with their daughter Lucia at the time, and he was sentenced to nine years in prison.

And she’s been very open with her fans about the situation.

On her podcast, Oh, Baby with Shaughna and Holly, she said earlier this year: “It’s the most gut-wrenching position to be in.

“And, I mean, before I even answer this question, I want to just put it out there that you can judge me all you want, but please don’t let me know, because I feel like unless you’ve been in this position you can’t really have an opinion on it.

“Because before I was in this position, before I had a baby, if you had asked me would I ever, ever take my child into a prison, the answer would be absolutely not. Anyone that does that is crazy.

“And then, lo and behold, I’m now in this position. And I think the thing is, we’re always going to be co-parents.

“And I know that me and my dad had the best relationship ever, and to me, my dad is the best person in the world.

“And I don’t want Lucia to think differently of her father. I would never, ever stop him from seeing her, ever.”

Coronation Street viewers go wild as Carla Connor and Lisa Swain finally romp TWICE – but it soon ends in disaster

CORONATION Street viewers were left ecstatic as two characters finally gave it to temptation after weeks of stolen glances.

Carla Connor let her guard down and found herself jumping into bed with DS Lisa Swain not just once but twice in one afternoon.

They could not keep their hands off each other[/caption]

Fans of the ITV soap opera have noticed sparks flying between the pair for months and in today’s episode they finally took the next stop in their relationship.

Having been honest with Ryan about her unexpected feelings for Lisa, Carla finally confirmed they were romantic as she admitted to not having felt that way before.

As Ryan encouraged her to pursue her feelings, Carla headed home to see Lisa who was still at her flat.

Fans will remember Carla let Lisa stay at her home after carrying her back following a drinking session at the Rovers the night before.

Having slept off her hangover, Carla walked in on Lisa getting dressed ready to leave the flat.

But going full-force, Carla made a very racy demand to the copper.

As Lisa explained she was “getting dressed”, Carla interrupted to say: “Don’t!”

Lisa answered back somewhat perplexed: “Don’t what?”

Carla replied: “Don’t get dressed.”

She then walked over to her before cupping her face and launching into a passionate snog.

The pair enjoyed a slew of kissed before the show cut to an advert break.

When it returned, Carla could be seen in the kitchen as Lisa approached her dressed in just a robe.

Carla could be seen having a drink but it was clear there was only one thing on Lisa’s mind.

Looking over at her, the policewoman flashed a cheeky grin as she said in reference to the bedroom: “Get back in here, you!”

The pair then indulged in another steamy session with one another.

Going wild at the scenes, one fan said: “I can’t cope with seeing Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain like this…”

Another added: “THANK YOU CORONATION STREET FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SCENE.”

A third said: “I am living for this!!!”

Before a fourth commented: “Right carla saying ‘don’t get dressed’ and snogging lisa then them f***ing TWICE is everything i’ve needed & more.

“They have me gagging.”

Later, as they spoke on the sofa’s, Carla admitted it was her first time being with a woman apart from a few drunken snogs with her pals as teenagers in order to make boys jealous.

Best soap affair love triangles

LOVE triangles are a fundamental part of soap-land, but which ones have become the most iconic?

EASTENDERS

Bradley/Stacey/Max: Stacey Slater began an affair with boyfriend Bradley Branning’s dad Max in 2007.

Despite their romps, Stacey still married Bradley, but their deceit came out in an iconic Christmas Day episode that year.

Grant/Sharon/Phil: Heading even further back in Walford history, EastEnders fans were gripped in the 90s as Sharon Watts had a one-night stand with her brother-in-law Phil Mitchell.

Sharon confided in best friend Michelle Fowler – not realising it was caught on tape – and her husband Grant eventually found out and played it in front of everyone at the Queen Vic.

Syed/Amira/Christian: Syed Masood was engaged to Amira before realising he had feelings for another man, Christian, which he confessed to him on his wedding day.

A devout Muslim, Syed refused to admit his true sexuality and went ahead and married Amira anyway, but when they returned, the two men started an affair before being caught in the act by Amira.

CORONATION STREET

Shelley/Peter/Lucy: Peter Barlow took the concept of a love triangle and ran with it in Coronation Street – extending it to bigamy.

He was in a relationship with Shelley Unwin but started dating Lucy Richards, and quickly married her after she fell pregnant with his son, Simon.

But it didn’t stop him also marrying Shelley, but he was eventually caught when Lucy turned up in Weatherfield and the two women confronted him.

Ken/Deidre/Mike: Back in 1982, Deirdre Barlow started sleeping with her husband’s nemesis Mike Baldwin in secret, before confessing all a year later.

When Mike turned up at the marital home, Deirdre was being throttled by her husband who then kicked her out, but years later they reconciled.

Maria/Aidan/Eva: In 2017, Aidan Connor started sleeping with girlfriend Eva Price’s best friend, Maria Connor.

Eva eventually found out and she decided to take revenge by faking a pregnancy, spending his money and planned to confront him on their wedding day.

But she had a change of heart when a remorseful Aidan confessed, and decided to marry him anyway, only for Maria to arrive and expose her fake pregnancy.

EMMERDALE

Ross/Debbie/Pete: Debbie Dingle found herself torn between two brothers, Ross and Pete Barton in 2015 in Emmerdale.

She eventually decided to marry Pete but yet again, a soap wedding day was ruined when the groom learned of his bride’s betrayal via a recording played at the wedding.

Chrissie/Robert/Aaron: Robert Sugden was married to Chrissie White and all seemed well – until he began a steamy affair with Aaron Dingle.

Robert’s ex Katie Sugden almost exposed the affair – but fell to her death before she had the chance.

However, a guilty Aaron eventually cracked and told Chrissie about the affair – after which she announced it to the whole pub.

However, the happiness and bliss for the pair was rather short-lived.

As Lisa’s daughter, Betsey, worked out the pair had been intimate with one another after realising Lisa was in Carla’s top.

She was left even more furious at the thought of Lisa disrespecting her dead mum Becky by sleeping with someone new on her birthday.

Lisa quickly clarified that they did not have sex until the day after Becky’s birthday.

Seeing red, Betsey was still furious and Carla did her best to ease the situation.

She said: “I know I didn’t know Becky but I’m sure she’d want Lisa to be happy.”

Betsey stormed off and said Becky was worth 10,000 of Carla as Lisa began to question her romantic decisions.

Later, as Carla and Lisa spoke, Carla branded her a “coward” when it came to her love life which left the DS reeling.

Insisting Carla hadn’t got a clue, she stormed out, leaving their potential romance in tatters.

Ruben Amorim makes Man Utd transfers vow as new boss wastes no time in stamping authority on new employers

RUBEN AMORIM insists he will have the final say on all transfer comings and goings at Man Utd.

The new manager held his first press conference today – and wasted no time in stamping his authority on the club.

Ruben Amorim has insisted that transfer business in manager’s business

Things haven’t worked out yet for new signing Joshua Zirkzee

Amorim, 39, replaces Erik ten Hag as manager appointed by part owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his new senior management team of Omar Berrada, Sir David Brailsford, Dan Ashworth and Jason Wilcox.

The board have overseen a calamitous summer of bungling in their dealings with former boss Ten Hag and with some questionable recruitment.

For example they lumbered Ten Hag with frontman flop Joshua Zirkzee believing he was a good investment when the former boss did not ask for him.

But the new man says that he won’t be a pushover.

Former Sporting Lisbon coach Amorim revealed: “The final word should be the manager’s.

“Not just because it’s your right but your responsibility.

“Because in the end, the results are down to me.

 “I have a great responsibility when we choose players because this is something that should be done this way.

FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS

“I’m the manager, the head coach, so I have to choose the players.”

Amorim insisted the senior management team will have to help him improve the club’s transfer activity but said the buck stops at his desk.

He said: “Everybody has to work together and for that we have to improve the process on recruitment, the data, the profile of players we want, but I have to have a strong position on that because I am the coach, I know how to play.”

The new head coach conducted his first press conference as United boss at The Carrington Training Ground.

He was full of confidence about how he can be different to David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ten Hag in getting the club right back to where they were under Sir Alex Ferguson.

He said: “You had here different type of coaches.

“So the guys who won everything like Van Gaal and Mourinho, you had new ones who knew the club inside out like Solskjaer, and one of the best that there will ever be outside the five strongest leagues was Ten Hag.

“You have different type of coaches, the same result. We will try to do it our way, the Ineos way, and my way.”

Ruben Amorim leaves Sporting on a high

By Charlie Wyett

RUBEN AMORIM would have preferred to leave Lisbon in a blaze of glory after winning a third Primeira Liga title.

Yet football does not work like that. And in what was surely his final game before taking charge of Manchester United, Amorim prepared to say his goodbyes at a half-empty Estadio Jose Alvalade in a League Cup quarter-final against Nacional.

Sporting won 3-1 thanks to  second-half goals by captain  Morten Hjulmand and Viktor Gyokeres, who scored two.

Luis Esteves pulled back for Madeira-based Nacional.

The stadium  will be a good deal more lively on Tuesday when Manchester City are here for  a Champions League match — although Amorim should by then have his feet firmly under his desk at Old Trafford.

Liverpool and Aston Villa were both interested in Europe’s most sought-after coach. Even City could have been a possible destination post-Pep Guardiola.

Yet the United job is one Amorim, 39,  could not turn  down — even if not everyone saw it that way at Sporting last night.

There is clearly a huge split in the Portuguese club’s fan base over their coach leaving at this stage of the season with many believing he should have seen the job through.

Yet Amorim, along with the three-man coaching team who are expected to follow him, leaves a club in a much better state than when he arrived here in 2020.

Inside the stadium, there was applause — albeit muted — when his name was read out before the game along with the line-ups.

And there did not appear to be any jeers when Amorim shuffled out from the tunnel awkwardly towards the dugout.

So, while his departure is hard to take for some, none of the fans will forget his legacy.

This is a club which is back as the dominant force in Portugal. Even this term, Sporting have won their first nine league games, scoring 30 goals and conceding just two.

They are also eighth in the Champions League table, which is one hell of an effort.

In contrast, Lisbon was not exactly hit by League Cup fever last night.

Amorim made lots of changes, which saw Sporting’s star man Gyokeres, the former Coventry striker, start on the bench.

There was, however, a first appearance in six weeks for former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards.

He is certainly one player who has been transformed by Amorim since arriving at the club from Vitoria in 2022 and will be sorry to see the coach leave.

While he changed his team, Amorim stuck with his tried and trusted formation of a back three.

It will certainly be something Manchester United’s fans will have to get used to over the  coming months.

But looking at the Premier League table, none of them will be complaining about the change.

Created by former pilot Bob Plath 30 years ago, TravelPro suitcases are often used by flight crew.

Even the holdalls are on sale[/caption]

Florida based flight attendant Sharmy previously revealed the secret on social media.

She said in a video: “How come all the flight attendants you see at the airport seem to have the exact same carry on?

“Number one and most importantly is our luggage is seen as part of our uniform, it’s highly regulated by airlines, everything from size to colour, even the colour of the zippers.

“For some airlines they even regulate the make of suitcase.

But in addition to our luggage being part of our appearance guidelines, Travelpro is just good quality stuff.”

“In this job, we beat suitcases down, we cannot use the same suitcases as the casual traveller going to Disney once a year.”

And the bags are now in the sale ahead of Black Friday.

Some of the cheapest suitcases can be found for £83, down from £112 for the underseat suitcase.

Or down to £102, down from £116 are for the carry on size or hand luggage size suitcase.

A checked suitcase size has been reduced rom £164 to £134, while the larger bag is down to £153, from £173.

Go for the cheapest holdall which is £63, down from £72.

Other flight attendants have raved about the bags in the reviews too.

One said: “You get what you pay for.

“I’m cabin crew so all my travel bags are hard working and take a bashing.”

Another said: “Beautiful and sturdy.

“As a flight attendant, I need luggage that can withstand the brutality we often inflict on our poor luggage.”

When choosing your luggage, a flight attendant explained why you should ditch the hardshell suitcases for softer ones.

Flight attendant of 16 years Emilie said: “Hardcovers can get easily broken by the pressure of the other bags once they’re all packed together in the hold.

“To avoid damage to your bag, I always recommend choosing a fabric suitcase as these are actually more durable.”

I’m A Celebrity fans work out heartbreaking reason Coleen told campmates about Wayne’s romantic poems

I’M A Celeb fans have worked out the real reason Coleen Rooney opened up about poems from husband Wayne.

Last night the mum of four told her I’m A Celeb campmate GK Barry that despite his tough image on the pitch, the England footie legend was a softie off it.

Eroteme

And despite the ups and downs of their 16-year marriage — and him spending long ­periods away from home in his new job as Plymouth Argyle manager — she says they remain as strong as ever.

Coleen said: “Wayne’s always wrote me poems.

“You know the hotel pads? He was always writing a little poem and putting it in his bag and he’d give it to me when we got home.

“They’re nice to keep but I can’t remember the last time he gave me one . . . 

“He is romantic in ways, we’re not the lovey-dovey couple in public but little things like that I think it keeps the ­relationship alive and it’s ­special when someone’s done something just for you, and the words mean something.”

But some sceptical fans are convinced that Coleen only shared that intimate detail because she is “overcompensating” following his cheating scandal.

One wrote: “All she goes on about is Wayne constantly or how her relationship with Wayne is this picturesque ideal thing. Honestly seems as though she’s overcompensating because everyone knows he’s cheated on her loads. I wouldn’t be bothered but it seems every time we see her talking she’s just going on about it which is just odd.”

A second posted: “When you’ve been cheated on relentlessly that whole time why would you repeatedly bring up your marriage every knows she’s full of it.”

A third said: “She’s nice enough but a bit dull so I guess the conversations about Wayne are the most interesting things they can show about her.”

“I don’t know why this is surprising, she is famous for being a WAG. It’s not like she was famous in her own right before Wayne,” a fourth added.

Earlier, Coleen told dancer Oti Mabuse how they had ­survived as a couple despite Wayne admitting to a string of infidelities since they first met as teens in home city Liverpool.

She said: “All he wanted to do was play football. He struggled with the fame side of it, he hated that.

“If he could’ve just played football and had none of the fame, I think he would’ve been happier within life. He’s made mistakes along the way, but from 16, obviously you’re going to, that’s life.

“We had to grow up quick, because we were living in the public eye.”

And she insisted that while forgiving some of his past behaviour has been difficult, the couple, remain steadfast in their love.

She added: “It has been difficult, but we’re happy now, after all those years . . . we’re a team.”

Meanwhile back home, Wayne has been prowling the touchline of his sons’ footie games after stepping into Coleen’s “soccer mom” role.

The former Everton and Manchester United ace usually only watches Kai and Klay play occasionally as he does not like the added pressure him being there can bring to them.

Coleen spent her last day before heading to Australia cheering on Klay, 11, as he played for a United’s kids’ team.

But now Wazza has stepped up, and was at United’s training ground watching Kai, 15, play for the academy last weekend.

And he has told the boys he will get to as many games as he can while Coleen is in the jungle, despite having to spend several nights away each week in Devon due to his commitments managing Championship side Plymouth.

A source said: “Wayne isn’t a regular at his son’s games because it can create a bit of excitement on the touchline and he doesn’t want the boys to feel any pressure while playing.

“But with Coleen away, he’s told the lads he will come to as many games as he can.

“He’s joked that the added bonus is it gets him away from his in-laws, who are helping look after the kids.”

Earlier this month, Coleen opened up about forgiving Wayne for his past infidelities.

Coleen revealed that she wasn’t willing to throw their marriage away as there “was always love still there.”

She explained: “You could draw a line under it but, with me and Wayne, I’ve always said, there was always love still there.

“So why throw it away when you can work at it. If you work at it, and it doesn’t work, then forget about it and go your own separate ways.

“But, there’s always been love… we never wanted to part.”

When Fearne quizzed Coleen if she and Wayne had open and honest conversations, Coleen answered: “There’s no point on keeping it in.

“That’s when you get yourself all worked up. I’ve seen that happen to so many people.

“Even with the kids, I say ‘get it out, deal with it, get your punishment done and move on.'”
