Mum of two Sally, who has forged a career in TV on 'The Daily Edition' and 'Today Tonight' and travel shows before that, just uploaded a few days ago a precious snap of her adorable daughter Annabelle Grace, with the five-year-old curiously stroking surrogate Rachel's baby bump.

"Everything about this picture makes my heart explode with love and gratitude," wrote the TV host, who opted for surrogacy after being warned that her breast cancer could return if she fell pregnant.

Sally announced the happy pregnancy news in August, posting a photo of herself with husband Marcus and Annabelle, holding a sign that read 'I'm going to be a big sister.'

Sally, 43, opened up about her experience with surrogacy on 'Sunday Night' earlier this year in an emotional interview.

"How do you even repay someone, like a bottle of perfume just doesn’t cut it. The gift, I mean, it is priceless," said Sally.

"How amazing that there are people like Rachel [the surrogate - pictured below] in this world, like a woman from the other side of the world who I don’t even know who would do this for me?"

Sally has had quite the incredible battle of the life in the past few years, with her cancer diagnosis, just before giving birth to her first child, Annabelle.

Amy Schumer + Ellen DeGeneres: VIDEO

Amy Schumer was on Ellen Degeneres's show 'Ellen' and this happened...

The Trainwreck star told of the horror date she had with her boyfriend of one-year Ben Hanisch, when they both got food “violent poisoning” - and Ellen positively lost it with laughter.

What happened in their hotel room was far from romantic, and Amy explained to Ellen in vivid detail how the vomiting and diarrhea “manifested itself” in her.

Ellen? Well, she was shaking with laughter, even wiping her eyes as she struggled to contain herself.

Amy told Ellen that she thought her relationship would be over when they went to Paris for a vacation in September.

“I was yelling to him, ‘It was so great dating you, I wish you the best luck, you’re gonna meet a great girl,’” she said of what she was shouting to him from the bathroom. “But I knew, I knew it was over. Who can get through that?”

'Married At First Sight': Michael "Australia's Pickiest Man" - VIDEO

Michael will be THE most talked about man on 'Married At First Sight' when it airs in early January 2017.

This video was released, and there's little doubt Michael's wish list when it comes to a woman is extensive, particular, and will be the subject of social media discussion.

Here it is:

In case you need that repeated...

“I don’t like the pretentious fake look, I hate that. Natural beauty? Perfect. If you can wake up in the morning and not have to worry about make-up ... They [only] put a little bit of foundation on and they look fantastic,” says Michael.

He does allow for one exception to his “no fakes” rule: “I don’t mind fake boobs, that doesn’t worry me in the least,” he adds. Cool.

Also: Michael’s partner needs to have “small ears, good teeth, physically active, is motivated, likes to train and keeps healthy."

Plus: she needs to wear high heels, but is never taller than him. And, she must be under 60kg.

He also gives a 'warning' of sorts to the show's producers: if he’s presented with a bride he deems “ugly”, he’ll reject them on sight. Well, it IS all about the senses and "marriage at first sight", right?

“Michael is the most challenging groom we have ever come across. We have never, ever met anyone like him,” says psychologist John Aiken, who has returned to the show one of the MAFS resident relationship experts.

Michael, thank you in advance for giving us sensational viewing.

'Married At First Sight' will screen on January 30, 2017 on Channel Nine.

Louis Tomlinson's mother dies, age 43

The mother of One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson - Johanna Deakin - has died from leukaemia, age just 43.

Johannah, a mum of seven and a midwife, was diagnosed with an aggressive form of the blood cancer earlier this year and had been at Sheffield's Royal Hallamshire Hospital since May. In an emotional statement, Johannah's partner Dan, said she would "always look to put other people before herself".

"She worked tirelessly on numerous charity campaigns, creating memories for many individuals and their families."

Johanna became a grandmother at a young age earlier this year after Louis' ex Briana Jungwirth gave birth to his first child in January.

Louis' One Direction bandmates sent their sympathies on Twitter, with Harry Styles remembering Johanna as his second mum.

@Louis_Tomlinson love you bro! All of your family is in my prayers. proud of your strength and know your mum is too x

— zayn (@zaynmalik) December 9, 2016

Louis just performed at the UK edition of 'The X Factor' only days after his mum died, and as you can imagine, it was highly emotional. He sang 'Just Hold On':



Simon Cowell complimented Louis for his courage in performing.

"Louis, I have to say I've known you for six years. The bravery of what you've done. I respect you as an artist, as a person and your mum was so proud of you and she was so excited for the performance. She's looking down on you tonight," Simon said.

Hours before the show was due to start, Tomlinson addressed his 25 million Twitter followers with a brief message.

"All the support has been incredible! Let's do this together tonight."

The hashtag #RIPJohannah has trended worldwide on Twitter, with millions of social media users also sending their sympathies.

And here is a post from Louis a few weeks ago:

My mother looking gorgeous before the Brits earlier this year . I love you and miss you so much !

Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson return as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele in Fifty Shades Darker, the second chapter based on the worldwide bestselling “Fifty Shades” phenomenon.

When a wounded Christian Grey tries to entice a cautious Ana Steele back into his life, she demands a new arrangement before she will give him another chance. As the two begin to build trust and find stability, shadowy figures from Christian’s past start to circle the couple, determined to destroy their hopes for a future together.

Also returning from Fifty Shades of Grey are Academy Award® winner Marcia Gay Harden, Jennifer Ehle, Luke Grimes, Rita Ora, Victor Rasuk, Eloise Mumford and Max Martini, who are joined for the first time by Oscar® winner Kim Basinger, Hugh Dancy, Bella Heathcote and Eric Johnson.
