It took several months before Una Healy's baby bump started to show.

But now that it has well and truly arrived, The Saturdays singer couldn't wait to show it off.

She shared a cute snap with her 343,854 Twitter followers last night, joining a long line of stars sharing their Christmas Day festivities with fans.

The 30-year-old, who is about six months pregnant was staying at her parents' home in Tipperary, Ireland as she posed next to their Christmas tree, adorned with silver, gold and red baubles.

She dons bright red pyjama pants with white snowflakes on them and a red jumper which is pulled up to reveal a tight white top underneath, straining over her stomach.

Una labelled the picture: 'Christmas Baby Bump!! :).'

Una also joked: 'Excuse the parents carpet, they had it steam cleaned recently so its going no where fast unfortunately...'

The singer announced she was pregnant to rugby player fiance Ben Foden in September, and last month revealed they were expecting a girl.

Meanwhile, model Danielle Lloyd has opened the doors of her home and shared a gorgeous snap of her and her family.

She and footballer fiance Jamie O'Hara can be seen in festive red jumpers, sitting on stairs, and holding their two boys, Archie, 15 months, and Harry, five months.

Santa and reindeer figurines can be seen on either side of the stairs, along with red tinsel.

Amelia flashes her knickers while Sophie's chest is on show at X Factor wrap party

Well that's one way to be remembered! Amelia flashes her knickers while Sophie's chest is on show at X Factor wrap party

It may have been Little Mix who walked away with The X Factor crown, but that's not stopping the other contestants fighting to prolong their 15 minutes of fame.

The undignified bunch turned up to celebrate the end of the series at the season wrap party in London on Tuesday night.

And it was Amelia Lily and Sophie Habibis who left a lasting impression as they flashed their flesh and underwear for all to see.

'Comeback Kid' Amelia forgot to match her knickers to her hair when she accidentally revealed a bit too much at the bash.

Walking along with a huge grin on her face, Amelia appeared to be oblivious as she hooked her beige dress up to reveal her under garments.

The 17-year-old, who was also dressed in a black leather jacket, had decided to bare her legs despite the wintry weather.

And she may live to regret her choice as she grasped her blue clutch bag, as well as the hem of her skirt.

But she wasn't the only contestant who made an impact for the wrong reasons at the party.

Sophie Habibis, who was one of the first to be voted off the competition, stood out in an interesting coral mini dress with frayed floorlength hem.

But even the bright colour couldn't prevent all eyes heading to her chest.

The 19-year-old pushed her cleavage in to the strapless frock but her curves spilled out, revealing her black bra.

The singers were all celebrating the end of the show, which saw Gary Barlow's act Marcus Collins walk away with the runner's up prize.

Unlike the girls, the 23-year-old Scouser managed to stay looking dapper as he arrived at the bash, wearing his trademark large smile with black trousers and top.

And 23-year-old X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos also couldn't keep herself away from the party as she celebrated her big win on her first season of the show.

Dragging her boyfriend and N-Dubz bandmate Fazer along for the festivities, the singer looked stunning in a tight gold asymmetrical mini dress from online fashion brand Forever Unique.

And while she clutched on to her beau, there was no sign of their bandmate Dappy, who had slated the show just hours after his cousin triumphed on the programme.

The rapper, who took to the stage at the Academy 2 in Manchester and told the audience at his gig on Sunday night 'This is what fame is, not standing for hours outside to audition for X Factor', before launching into his new single Rockstar, which features Queen guitarist Brian May.

Dappy continued his tirade against X Factor boss Simon Cowell saying 'F*** Simon Cowell'.

And it appears his comments have left him out in the cold as Tulisa failed to invite him to the party.

How girls outshone the X Factor boys: Females topped vote each week but millions switch off

How girls outshone the X Factor boys: Females topped vote each week but millions switch off


By Simon Neville

Last updated at 8:00 AM on 13th December 2011


This year’s X Factor series proved to be a case of Girl Power reigning supreme.

The programme has released the voting percentages for the entire series, which show that female contestants were consistently more popular than the boys.

Irish teenager Janet Devlin received the most votes in the early weeks with eventual winners Little Mix not surging through until the latter stages of the competition.

In 2010, winner Matt Cardle topped the voting throughout the entire series.
But this year, three acts took turns to grab the public’s affections and lead the field.

Miss Devlin, 17, was the bookmakers’ early favourite to win the competition, topping the poll in the first four weeks.


This included securing nearly a quarter of the total votes cast in the first week of voting.

She came second in week six behind the reinstated Amelia Lily, 17, who replaced Frankie Cocozza, 18, after he was axed for boasting of drug-taking.

But after a string of poor performances, including twice forgetting her words, Miss Devlin slipped back and her position was taken by Little Mix.

Miss Lily’s popularity was also confirmed in the figures, topping the poll twice and being runner-up once, as well as taking third place in the final. the overall runner-up Marcus Collins, 23, never topped the public vote.

His best performance came in week five, when he gained second place.

Misha Bryan, 19, widely thought to have the strongest voice on the show, and who finished fourth, had the most varied set of results.

In week three she came third, but a week later she was bottom of the poll.

In week seven she finished second, only to once again end up last in week eight.

The figures that really matter, however, are the ratings.

The final, which aired live from Wembley Arena in North London on Sunday evening, was down more than four million viewers on the previous year.

It had an average audience of 13.1million, according to overnight TV ratings figures. That compared unfavourably to the 17.2million who watched Matt Cardle triumph in the 2010 competition.

Indeed, it was the lowest average audience for the final of the series since 2007, when Leon Jackson won the show.

ITV could at least draw comfort from the series still being the third most successful in The X Factor’s history.

The final helped to boost the series average up to 11million viewers across the 17-week run. It was also the second most watched show on British TV this year, behind only the Royal Wedding in April.

ITV also pointed out that BBC1 rival Strictly Come Dancing had averaged 9.7million viewers this series.

However, Strictly’s finale does not take place until this weekend, which is likely to boost its overall viewing figures substantially.

Welcome to your new life! Little Mix party with mentor Tulisa after X Factor win - but are up at crack of dawn for Daybreak

The champagne would have been flowing freely as they embarked on their first night as popstars at The X Factor aftershow held at the five star Corinthia Hotel in central London.

But with chart success comes hard work - and Little Mix were no doubt nursing hangovers as they woke up at the crack of dawn today for their first post-show interview.

By 7am, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall had already tweeted that they were at the Daybreak studio ready for their chat with Kate Garraway.

They wrote: '@daybreak getting made up for the show. It's too early! Thanks so much for all your support #littlemixers we love you.'

During their conversation with Garraway, Essex girl Nelson said their victory had not yet sunk in, revealing: 'I don't think it is ever going to sink in. Every week, we prepared ourselves to go out.'

Pinnock, 19, added: 'When he (Dermot O'Leary) said Little Mix, it was "My gosh, this is just insane!"'

Last night, the quartet made history as the first girlband ever to triumph on Simon Cowell's series.

The Syco boss was busy tweeting his support for the girls, despite not starring on the panel this year, saying: 'Congratulations to @LIttleMixOffic. And Paula as you can see, groups can win this show!

He added: 'I was really hoping a group would win this year. @OfficialTulisa has done a great job. These girls could be stars.'

Following their stint on Daybreak, the girls also visited the famous sofa of This Morning and Lorraine.

Jade told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that they had spent time with their loved ones after winning the competition, before heading to bed in preparation of their busy day.

She said: 'We got a nice little cuddle from our mums, spoke to Tulisa and then went to bed.'

Leigh-Anne added: 'From the beginning, I never really saw myself in a girlband. I didn't want to be in one. Then they put me in one and I could not be on my own now.'

The redhead also revealed they had received flowers from a certain lady called Geri Halliwell and credited Tulisa as 'the most amazing person' who they 'wouldn't have got this far' without.

While Perrie and Leigh-Anne remained in their stage costumes last night, baby of the group Jade, 18, slipped into jeans, a red puffer jacket and Ugg boots after initially performing in a festive dress.

Jesy, 20, also switched outfits, changing out of her gold leggings in favour of leopard print.

Mentor Tulisa Contostavlos continued to show her support for her 'Little Muffins', attending the party.
She too changed out of her awkward attire that proved difficult to walk in and squeeze into her judging seat, by opting for a simple navy frock with black Mary Janes.
The N-Dubz beauty also had her say on Twitter, writing: 'I know its cheese but I swear down,2nit (sic) has shown me, if u really believe in sumin n want it bad enough it can happen,u just need 2 believe.

Obviously there weren't enough canapes at the party, as she later said: 'what do ya do after ur act wins the xfactor?...go 2 ur local kebab shop of course, wooooiiiiii....LOVE U #LITTLEMIX keep it real.'
Little Mix's debut single Cannonball is expected to be the Christmas No1, although excitement is already brewing that the girls may record a duet with Tulisa.

The 23-year-old revealed on The Xtra Factor: 'There’s been talks but I’m not one hundred per cent. I would love to do this and when I release my album we might re-record that as a single and put it on.'

During the final, each judge joined their remaining act for a duet, with Tulisa and the band singing a mash-up of Alicia Keys songs If I Ain't Got You and Empire State Of Mind.

This morning Jesy's mother said that her daughter's band winning 'felt like a dream.'

The police community support officer from Canvey Island, Essex, said: "I woke up this morning and had to ask myself, "am I dreaming or did Little Mix really win The X Factor last night?".

'The best part of it all isn't the winning, it's the positive comments that the girls have had from their fans.

'They are four ordinary girls but they have had so many letters from teenage girls and boys telling them how inspiring they have been.'

She added: 'I think one of the things Jesy's most excited about is meeting Simon Cowell. Apparently, he really likes Little Mix and she's desperate to meet him.'

Runner-up Marcus Collins put on a brave face as he attended the swish venue, with Craig Colton offering some consolation squeezes.

The Liverpudlian hairdresser, 23, still has high hopes for his career, despite not winning, tweeting: 'Thank you so much to all those who supported me. I'm sure I'll be seeing you all very soon!!xxxx'

In keeping with her pink theme, teenager Amelia Lily clutched a bright neon bag despite losing the candyfloss tint and going back to her peroxide locks.

The 17-year-old reached the final and performed with Kelly Rowland on Saturday night, but was eliminated from the competition leaving just Marcus and Little Mix to sing last night.

However, the Destiny's Child star didn't materialise last night at the party.

She was criticised on Saturday for abandoning Lily at a crucial time and rushing out of the X Factor studio to support her favourite contestant Misha B during her first live show at G-A-Y.

The Xtra hosts Olly Murs and Caroline Flack joined in the festivities, with 32-year-old Flack deflecting attention from her romance with One Direction star Harry Styles, 17, by attending with a male friend.

Westlife stars Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan donned their leather jackets to mingle with the reality stars, having taken to the stage at Wembley to bid farewell to fans as they go their separate ways.
