Javine Hylton and fiancé MC Harvey are celebrating the arrival of a baby girl.
The singer, 23, gave birth to daughter Angel at a hospital in Tooting, South London, on Saturday.
She was revealed to be having an affair with the So Solid Crew rapper in November 2006 while he was still married to Strictly Come Dancing winner Alesha Dixon.
The couple are expected to marry later this year.
Hylton recently insistedthat she has no regrets about her part in the breakdown of Harvey's marriage.
I never liked her, she always seems up herself :thumbsdow
Daniel Radcliffe has been given four SAS bodyguards to protect him from a stalker, say reports.
The Harry Potter star is receiving similar protection to Princes William and Harry when they are off military duty, claims The Sun.
Warner Bros bosses received a threat against Radcliffe and have boosted security levels on the set of the new Potter movie, offering the actor a chase car that follows him around when he's travelling.
"There is a real concern for Daniel’s welfare. The bigwigs haven’t said what has been going on. It’s all hush-hush - but security has been massively ramped up," said a source.
On the subject of the SAS guards, the insider added: "They are all experts in evasive driving, threat assessment and close protection. This isn’t about keeping an eye out for the paparazzi - these guys are looking for something far more sinister.
"Daniel has the four guards with him at all times, as well as a new driver. When he travels they use dummy cars and swap vehicles."
Co-star Emma Watson increased her personal security team last year after she was confronted by a stalker in her school.
That is the downside of fame, I suppose. Not all just fun and fortune, must be awful.
A chef hired by Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant has been found hanging from a tree 18 months after joining Oliver's scheme.
Christopher Pethick, 20, was discovered in woodland near the eatery in Watergate Bay, Cornwall, on Saturday.
He was among 21 young cooks selected for the chef's training programme for troubled youngsters in May 2006.
But he dropped out after two months with "severe depression" and went on to commit offences including burglary and assault.
His dad Robert, 39, said: “We were proud when he joined Fifteen. He said it was a chance to turn his life around.
"But after a couple of months, he started to get restless and ran away. We didn't see him for a couple of months.
"And the past year he has been like a lost soul. He has been suffering from depression. He was a troubled lad. I'm sure he wasn't proud of things he was involved in."
Fifteen boss Dave Meneer said staff were “devastated” by the news.
Former Hollyoaks star Sarah Jayne Dunn will be seen in new Batman movie The Dark Knight.
The part played by the actress has not yet been confirmed, but rumours suggest that she will star as The Joker's lover Harley Quinn.
Sarah appeared as Chester's Mandy Richardson on the Channel 4 soap for ten years. After leaving the show, she landed a role in crime movie The Best Years and had a two-week guest part in BBC One's Doctors.
The Dark Knight stars Christian Bale as Batman and late actor Heath Ledger as The Joker.
Leona Lewis is selling the purple Roberto Cavalli dress she wore at the Brit Awards to raise money for Sport Relief.
The specially-designed gown, which was created from more than 55 metres of materials including taffeta and tulle, will be auctioned on eBay today.
Cavallli's team worked for nearly 50 hours to ensure that the one-off dress was ready for last month's ceremony.
The designer said: "It's been a great pleasure for me to work with Leona Lewis right from the start. She has beautiful eyes, an incredible voice and a fresh and positive attitude.
"I'm happy that a dress I have created for her for an important occasion is now being auctioned for a charity. It's a sign of her great generosity and I'm proud that the name Roberto Cavalli is linked to it."
Lewis wore the gown while performing number one smash 'Bleeding Love'.

Hugh Laurie has claimed that the UK "slammed" the door on him after he landed a role in US medical drama House.
The actor has earned a Golden Globe and several Emmy nominations for his portrayal of maverick doctor Gregory House in the hit Fox show.
But he told the Radio Times: "There's a notion that I've sold out. Sold out what? There's a peculiar British attitude that I took an oath I wouldn't be successful, and reneged on it."
He insisted that he had not been offered any work in the UK during his four years on the series, saying: "The door slammed behind me, and that's it."
Laurie appeared on British shows including Blackadder, Jeeves And Wooster and A Bit of Fry and Laurie before making the move to the US.
He better stay in America and make lots more seasons of House.
Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has been photographed driving while using a mobile phone, reports The Mirror.
Adam Blake and Hayley Byford claim they saw Clarkson on the phone as he sped down the M40 in Oxfordshire in a 1970s V8 600 Grosser Mercedes.
Blake told the newspaper: "We could not believe that we'd caught him out. I used to watch him every week on Top Gear and he was always banging on about the new driving laws. My girlfriend saw he was on his mobile. She grabbed hers and took a picture of him."
The couple handed over the photo to the paper, who printed it before passing it on to the police.
"We are taking this matter very seriously and will be collecting all the available evidence to see whether there is a case to answer," a police spokesman said.
"We are grateful to The Mirror for passing the photograph to us. It will now be examined by road safety officers as part of the investigation."
The paper claimed it later confronted Clarkson with the picture, to which the motoring presenter replied: "Er, that isn't a phone."
The 47-year-old then allegedly said: "Look, I write a column for another newspaper. I'm not allowed to talk to you."
Motorists caught using a mobile phone at the wheel face three points on their driving licence and a £60 fine.
Radio 1 DJ Sara Cox has given birth to her second child.
The 33-year-old announced that she was expecting a baby with advertising executive Ben Cyzer last September. She already has three-year-old daughter Lola with ex-husband Jon Carter.
The couple have named their new son Isaac and both he and Cox are said to be doing "very well".
The new mum will return to Radio 1's weekend lunchtime show in September. Annie Mac took over last month when Cox went on maternity leave.
Work on Heath Ledger's last film, suspended due to his death by accidental overdose in January, has resumed after three Hollywood stars agreed to play his character, director Terry Gilliam said on Monday.
Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law will step in to complete Ledger's unfinished role in the movie "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," portraying various incarnations of his character, but Ledger's presence in the movie will also be maintained.
"Since the format of the story allows for the preservation of his entire performance, at no point will Heath's work be modified or altered through the use of digital technology," the film's producers said in a statement.
"Each of the parts played by Johnny, Colin and Jude is representative of the many aspects of the character that Heath was playing," they added.
Gilliam said filming on the British-Canadian production, due for release next summer, had resumed in Vancouver "with the blessing and support of Heath Ledger's family."
Ledger had just finished shooting scenes for the movie in London before his death. Newspapers have reported that the story involves a magical mirror that takes people into different dimensions, allowing Gilliam to switch between actors.
"I am delighted that Heath's brilliant performance can be shared with the world," Gilliam said. "We are looking forward to finishing the movie and, through the film, with a modicum of humility, being able to touch people's hearts and souls as Heath was able to do."
"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" is described as a modern-day fantasy adventure and has a budget estimated at $30 million.
Actress Melissa Joan Hart has given birth to her second baby.
The 31-year-old, who starred in US show Sabrina the Teenage Witch, welcomed a son with husband Mark Wilkerson yesterday afternoon.
Braydon Hart Wilkerson was born after a 10-hour labour and weighed in at 7lbs 3oz, reports People magazine.
Hart previously said: "This has been a long but exciting pregnancy, and we along with Mason are excited to add to the Wilkerson clan."
She met her husband, a guitarist for rock band Course of Nature, at a Kentucky Derby event in May 2002 and they married in Italy the following year.
She gave birth to their first son Mason in January 2006.
Owen Wilson allegedly charged at a photographer in Miami, reports Page Six.
The actor is reported to have confronted photographer Manny Hernandez after he began to take pictures of the Wedding Crashers star at a party.
A witness is quoted as saying: "There were 150 people who watched Wilson jump across the pool, making a complete ass of himself."
Photographer Hernandez claimed that Wilson charged at him and screamed hysterically, demanding he delete the photos.
"I've been shooting in Miami for 18 years and I have a good reputation. A lot of friends and clients were there, and that looked so bad for me," Hernandez said.
Wilson is rumoured to be dating his Marley and Me co-star Jennifer Aniston.
Actress Zoe Lucker is pregnant, reports The Sun.
Lucker, who rose to fame as Tanya Turner on Footballers' Wives, is four months pregnant with fiancé James Herbert. The child will be the couple's first.
"Zoe and James couldn't be happier," a source revealed.
The 33-year-old is currently appearing as Kate Keenan in the BBC's Holby City spinoff HolbyBlue.
The show, created by Tony Jordan (EastEnders, Life On Mars), will return to BBC One on March 20.
The science fiction writer Sir Arthur C Clarke - famed for his visionary predictions of the future - has died aged 90. He will be remembered as someone who for more than half a century popularised scientific reality through science fiction, and who lived long enough to see many of his most outlandish predictions become first fact and then history.
In more than 70 books, countless short stories, articles, film scripts and TV shows, Clarke painted his vision of the future that may at times have veered towards the romantically idealistic but was nevertheless always grounded in plausible scientific reality.
The Telegraph reported today that Dame Maggie Smith (Prof. McGonagall) is fighting a private battle with breast cancer. "She is dealing with it in her typically brave and understated way," says a friend of hers. "She has had a tumour removed and subsequently completed a course of chemotherapy. This was precautionary and the prognosis looks good. The last thing she wants to do is to make a fuss about it."
The article continues, stating that "the 73-year-old Oscar winner insisted on going ahead with filming her role as Minerva McGonagall in the latest installment of the Harry Potter series last month even as she was undergoing radiation therapy."
The TV news said that she is refuting these statements, not sure what to believe right now. Whatever, I hope she recovers from any illness she might have.Quote:

A police spokesman said officers arrested a 32-year-old man on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs. He has since been released on police bail.
A post-mortem examination was carried out on the body but the results were inconclusive and police said they were awaiting toxicology reports.
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said officers were called to a flat in the Hyde Park area of the city on Saturday afternoon where they found the body of a 31-year-old man.
"As a result of inquiries a 32-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs," the spokesman said.
"He has now been released on police bail pending further inquiries."
'Funk extravaganza'
Jason Rae, a saxophonist in the band The Haggis Horns, had been due to play a gig at the HiFi Club in Leeds on Sunday night.
The club confirmed that the gig had been cancelled.
The Haggis Horns are described on their MySpace page as "an eight-piece live funk extravaganza."
The group had previously performed and recorded with Bailey Rae as well as Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson.
They released their debut album last September.
Number one
Leeds-born Bailey Rae, 29, met her husband when she worked as a cloakroom attendant in a Leeds jazz club when she was a student in the city.
The pair married in 2001 when she was 22.
Bailey Rae's record label said in a statement on Sunday: "EMI Records would like to offer its sincere condolences to Corinne Bailey Rae and the Rae family at this tragic time.
"We ask that the media respects Corinne's privacy and that of her entire family."
The singer was last month recognised at the Grammy awards for her contribution to the record that won the album of the year, Herbie Hancock's River: The Joni Letters.
She achieved fame with her self-titled debut album which went to number one in the UK charts and sold more than a million copies in the US.
The singer-songwriter was named best newcomer in the Mojo and Q Awards and picked up two Mobos. According to reports, she recently spent a week working on her new album at Warren House Farm studio near Scarborough in north Yorkshire.
Former Coronation Street star Tina O'Brien is pregnant with her first child.
The actress and her partner Ryan Thomas, better known as Weatherfield builder Jason Grimshaw, celebrated their happy news at a family dinner earlier this week.
A source told The Sun: "The baby wasn't planned, but now the news has sunk in they couldn't be happier."
Tina admitted last year that her part as mum Sarah Platt on the ITV1 soap was making her feel "broody". However, her main focus had been on finding work after filming her final scenes for the show.
A Corrie spokeswoman said: "Ryan and Tina can confirm they are expecting a baby and are absolutely delighted at the happy news."
At least she can blame family commitments if she can't find work.Quote:

Neil will be sadly missed by his family and friends, as well as by his millions of fans who were inspired by his work as a TV presenter. Please treat this group with respect and leave messages and memories for Neil. Thank you.'
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=14981700711
I'm disgusted that a group on facebook can get away with this. Awful joke and very angry about it :angry:
That is a very sick joke. I agree with you about it being disgusting that they can get away with it.
Is this bit a lie.. "It has been recently suggested that Neil is still with us, contrary to announcements on several radio broadcasts and on blue peter (bbc!)." - or have I read it wrong, and that bit is saying that those places said he was still alive?
I wonder why the founder of the group even set it up :s. Weirdo.
On a separate note - how awesome is Neil :cool:. Me and my mates are always talking about him :lol:. We even named my mates locker Neil Buchanan! haha.
Something should be done about the false statement about his death on facebook, this is really sick.
I reported the group a couple of weeks backand nothing seems to have been done - its "nice" to know Facebook are doing things about groups like this :angry:
Its saying that the radio and BBC announced that Neil has died.Quote:

A celebrity edition of The Weakest Link was subject to 16 complaints after presenter Anne Robinson asked a contestant to feel her breasts.
TV wine expert Olly Smith, who hosts The Richard And Judy Wine Club, told the studio audience: "If Anne was a wine, she'd be a smooth, full-bodied, expensive red."
Smith's comments didn't amuse the 63-year-old host, who replied: "I don't like being called full-bodied. I've spent a long time getting this figure"
Robinson then asked Smith to come and feel her breasts, which he described as "absolutely fantastic".
The programme, a charity edition featuring contestants from the world of food and wine, was broadcast at 5.20pm last Saturday and watched by more than 5 million viewers.
:confused: :confused: :confused: Can't understand why anybody would want a grope of her.
TV presenter Trisha Goddard has revealed that she is fighting breast cancer.
The disease was diagnosed after doctors found a lump during a routine mammogram three weeks ago. A tumour was subsequently removed and lymph node samples were taken for analysis.
She was told on Saturday that cancer had been detected in one of the nodes. She now faces a second operation to remove more samples and will be absent from her Five show for two weeks.
She is currently at home with third husband Peter Gianfancesco and children Billie, 18, and 13-year-old Madison in Norfolk.
Gianfancesco, who has been married to Goddard for ten years, said: "She may possibly need, or choose to have, chemotherapy. We are both exhausted from the stress and worry, but are trying to deal with this one step at a time."
He added: "We hoped that we could handle this in private, but following a number of inquiries from newspapers, we thought it best to put the record straight. We ask that everyone respects our privacy during this difficult time, allowing us to focus on supporting my wife's recovery."
Around 80 staff at her production company Townhouse were informed of the news this morning.
I wish her well and hope she makes a full recovery.Quote:

TV presenter Mark Speight, whose fiancee died in a bath after taking drugs, has been reported missing.
He found Natasha Collins, 31, dead at their flat in St John's Wood, north-west London, on 3 January.
Mr Speight, who fronted BBC children's show SMart, was arrested on suspicion of murder and supplying Class A drugs but no charges were brought.
The 42-year-old was last seen walking along Chamberlayne Road, Kensal Rise, north-west London, on Monday afternoon.
Police said Mr Speight was dropped off at Wood Green station, north London, on Monday morning.
He was later seen walking towards Chelmsford Square in Kensal Rise at about 1315 BST.
In February he announced he was quitting the programme SMart as his "tragic loss" had left him unable to continue.
Since Miss Collins' death he had been living with her mother in Norfolk Avenue, Enfield, north London.
Police said family and friends raised the alarm when he failed to turn up for a meeting with a friend in Covent Garden at 1530 BST. Mr Speight, who is 6ft, was last seen wearing a brown suit jacket with dark jeans and a brown flat cap.
Singer Doherty is sent to prison
Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has been jailed for 14 weeks for violating his probation and for using drugs.
Judge Davinder Lachar handed the musician the sentence at a court hearing in west London.
Doherty had been given a suspended jail sentence for possession of drugs and driving illegally in October last year.
His supervision order required him to make regular visits to court for progress reports, as well as take part in a drug rehabilitation programme.
The BBC's David Sillito said the singer had missed one appointment with his probation team and been late for another.
The punishment means Doherty has been forced to postpone a concert at the Royal Albert Hall in April.
The gig would have been his biggest solo show yet.
The show is due to be rescheduled and all tickets will be valid for the new date once it has been announced.
Glastonbury appearance
The star's record label said in a statement: "Peter was very much looking forward to the show and would like to offer his sincerest apologies to all his fans and to all those concerned."
Speaking to BBC 6 Music, Babyshambles drummer Adam Ficek said: "I feel gutted for him. Obviously he's going to find it really difficult in there but all I can say is that the band is going to stick with him as always."
He said they planned to continue writing and and making music with him and will get in touch with Doherty as soon they can.
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/shared/img/o.gif
"As far as I see it I hope we can really look positively on this and when he comes out he can learn from the mistakes he's made and we can persevere with the path that Babyshambles was treading before," added his bandmate.
Under current rules, the Doherty is likely to serve around a month of his sentence.
But if he spends the full 14 weeks in prison, he will miss a headlining slot on the Park stage at the Glastonbury Festival.
In the past the singer, who rose to fame after forming the Libertines in 1997, has admitted that staying off taking drugs was not easy. Last November he admitted suffering a drug relapse and vowed to seek further to help him tackle his heroin addiction. Doherty, who used to date model Kate Moss, has repeatedly appeared in court for various drug offences.
About bloody time!! He's got away with more than enough, the general public would have been sent to prison long before now on the charges he's had.
Gethin Jones is quitting Blue Peter after three years.
The BBC confirmed that the 30-year-old is leaving at the end of the current series in June "to explore other avenues".
Jones, who finished third in the last season of Strictly Come Dancing, had always planned to step down after three years, his spokeswoman said.
Since becoming the show's 31st presenter in April 2005, he has been filmed flying with the Red Arrows, fighting as a Samurai warrior in Japan and climbing the four highest mountains in the UK. He was also the first civilian to complete a 30 mile "yomp" with the Royal Marine Commandos.
He said: "It's very sad to be jumping ship, but I will still be on-screen until the end of the series whilst working on other projects. I've loved it, lived it ... and now I feel the time is right to leave it."
BBC Children's controller Richard Deverell said: "Gethin has more than lived up to our very high expectations of Blue Peter presenters with his total commitment, willingness to try anything and limitless good humour."
It was recently reported that he will co-present an entertainment news show on BBC News 24.
Jonathan Ross has revealed that his pet dog once interfered when he was having sexual intercourse with his wife.
The TV host claimed that the animal began licking his genitals while he was making love to his partner.
Speaking on Alexa Chung's new chatshow The Wall, Ross said: "One time he started licking my balls.
"I'm lying on top of her and then I feel the dog. I didn't want to say to my wife, 'There's a dog licking my balls', so I started trying to shake it off.
"I could see her thinking, 'He's been watching porn or something', and she went, 'What are you doing?' I said, 'The dog's licking my balls',and she said, 'Get off!'"

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have purchased the rights to their old TV shows Byker Grove and SM:TV Live.
The pair rose to fame on kids' drama Byker Grove where they played PJ and Duncan. They later embarked on a pop career before presenting the Saturday morning programme SM:TV Live with Cat Deeley.
Speaking to The Sun, Dec said: "The shows are an important part of our history so we wanted to take over the rights. That way, if anyone wants to show them, they have to come to us to get permission."
A friend of the presenters revealed that they were eager to purchase the rights to stop digital channels repeating their old shows.
"It's no secret that Ant and Dec are hugely popular so re-running Byker Grove would make sense. But it could prove a bit embarrassing for the guys with their past on such public display."
The shows will now become property of Ant & Dec's Gallowgate Productions TV company.
