CHLOE Radford has admitted she is ‘struggling’ with her second pregnancy and revealed her symptoms are ‘getting worse’.

Three months after she shared that Britain’s biggest family is due to get even larger, the 29-year-old, who is already mother to adorable daughter Mila, two, with her security guard boyfriend Jacob Wallace, shared a candid ‘bump update’ with fans.

The blonde beauty, who previously opened up on feeling ‘guilty’ and wanting to ‘cry all the time’, is now 26 weeks pregnant with her second child and claimed that her bump has ‘definitely popped’.

Sharing all with her 96,500 TikTok followers, the content creator explained: “First off, my heartburn/acid reflux is getting worse.

“I was in bed the other night and I was nearly sick from it, it was so bad.

“The next morning I actually was sick from that. It’s getting worse so I do actually need to go to the shop and get some Rennie’s or something.”

Not only has Chloe been secretly struggling with heartburn, but she’s also been dealing with painful back ache too, as she added: “My back pain/pelvic pain is quite bad. It feels like a shooting pain. 

“So I’m not sure if he’s maybe sat on a nerve or I’ve got a bit of sciatica pain or whatever, I’m not sure.”

Noel and Sue Radford’s second eldest daughter then confirmed: “This pregnancy is so different, just completely different to Mila’s. 

“I had such an easy time with her, whereas I feel like this time I am struggling a bit more.

“I’m not enjoying it as much as when I was pregnant with Mila. Just the aches and the pains and all the symptoms.” 

Not only is she ‘really not enjoying it as much’ this time around, but Chloe, who works as a bakery manager at the family’s Radford Pie Company, also shared: “Even though he’s got an anterior placenta, I can actually see him moving around and things. That’s amazing because I never really got that with Mila.

“I’ve got an appointment with the midwife in two weeks and I think that’s when they will start measuring the bump, which I’m really excited to see how he’s measuring.”

Chloe, who began her relationship with her partner Jacob in 2021 and gave birth to their first child on July 23, 2022, also opened up on her current sleep battle, as she confessed: “It’s all just typical pregnancy symptoms, I just need the acid reflux and heartburn to just calm down a little bit, because it’s not nice, is it?

“Aside from that, I’m feeling good, just tired. I can’t sleep properly.

“I feel like I’m not really going into much of a deep sleep. I’m tossing and turning, not getting comfortable and having to get up to go for a wee all the time.”

But as Chloe, who is the third oldest Radford child, approaches her due date, she acknowledged: “Got 14 weeks left. Well, could be 14, could be 16, who knows?

“I’m so on edge that he’s going to come early. I’m just worried that he’s gonna be early.

“I’m freaking out, I’m really freaking out.”

Radford fans flock

Chloe posted her clip on her official TikTok account @itschloexa, four days ago, and it has quickly racked up 134,900 views.

Fans quickly flocked to the comments, eager to share support and guidance for Chloe.

One person said: “Poor you Chloe, I was like that but it’s all worth it in the end.”

Another added: “You still look amazing.” 

A third commented: “Try bicarbonate of soda in milk or water. It’s awful but it certainly works.”

Whilst someone else chimed in: “I swear by Trebor extra strong mints. They work better than Rennie’s or Gaviscon.”

ELON Musk’s Neuralink has claimed a human patient used one of its brain chips to control a robot arm with their mind.

In a short clip posted on X, a robot arm holding a pen slowly wrote the word “convoy” on a whiteboard.

Convoy is the name of the Neuralink study focusing on using the company’s N1 brain chip to control a robotic arm.

“I don’t think most people understand what’s happening here: Neuralink’s patient is controlling a robotic arm with his mind,” one onlooker wrote on X.

“Not a joystick, not a muscle sensor, just his thoughts.”

Musk replied, to seemingly confirm what people were seeing in the video, saying “true”.

The 30-second clip doesn’t reveal who is controlling the machine.

Three human patients have had the chips inserted in their brains so far.

The Convoy study, first announced in November, aims to give people with disabilities, particularly quadriplegics, the power of limb control.

“I’m one of the many paralysed people so happy for his progress with Neuralink,” a second person wrote on X.

A third person called the progress a “phenomenal achievement”.

In March, Neuralink’s first human patient to have the N1 surgically implanted in his brain, Noland Arbaugh, successfully used the technology to control the mouse cursor on his laptop.

Arbaugh, a quadriplegic, used the tech to play Mario Kart and live stream on his PC using just his brain.

He previously had to rely on mouth-operated controllers to play video games.

The N1 brain chip reads brain signals, and translates them into Bluetooth-based commands that can control a remote device – like a game controller, or robot arm.

STRONG winds will gust over Dublin tonight as the capital is battered by rain.

Met Eireann confirmed that conditions will remain “mostly dry and settled” next week after strong winds today and tonight – but warned that temperatures will plunge below freezing in just a few days.

The forecaster said today will be dry with a mix of cloud and hazy sunny spells this morning before conditions turn cloudier this afternoon with “the chance of a little drizzle”.

Conditions will turn breezy in Dublin through this afternoon, with fresh and gusty southerly winds developing in temperatures of 10C to 12C.

Met Eireann confirmed that the wind will continue to hit the capital overnight.

The weather bosses said: “Breezy tonight with rain arriving from the west early on and continuing through the night.

“Lowest temperatures of 7C to 9C in fresh and gusty southerly winds.”

Alan O’Reilly said it will be late evening before Dublin is expected to see the rain, warning that it will be “a very wet start in the morning in the east and southeast”.

O’Reilly said some spot flooding is possible but confirmed that the heavy winds will “ease down for a time” tomorrow morning.

Met Eireann said tomorrow will be wet and cloudy at first, but rain will clear eastwards later in the morning with sunshine and scattered showers following.

The weather bosses said there is a “chance of hail” early in the afternoon.

Temperatures will be at their highest between 9C and 10C, with moderate, occasionally fresh southwest or west winds.

Met Eireann said the weather in Dublin will become mostly dry with long clear spells as showers become isolated early tomorrow night.

The rain will become mostly confined to Atlantic coasts as temperatures plunge to their lowest between -1C and 3C – with the weather bosses warning of frost and ice forming.

‘SOME UNCERTAINTY’

Looking towards the rest of the week, Met Eireann said: “Mostly dry and settled for the rest of the working week. Chilly during the nights. Some rain next weekend.”

The forecasters said Dublin will be “mostly dry with good spells of sunshine” on Wednesday, with just a few light showers possible near western and northwestern coasts.

Temperatures will peak between 6C and 9C before dropping between -2C and 2C on a “dry, clear and cold” Wednesday night.

On Thursday, it will be another largely dry and sunny day with moderate temperatures peaking between 7C and 10C.

Met Eireann said Dublin will experience another mostly dry day with spells of sunshine on Friday – but the forecasters warned that cloud may gradually build from the west.

Temperatures will be at their highest between 6C and 9C.

Looking towards next weekend, Met Eireann said: “Some uncertainty as rain may encroach from the west at some stage but overall, plenty of dry weather is still signalled.”

GRIPPING BBC thriller The Capture lauded by fans as being ‘mind-blowing’ and ‘sublime’ has finally landed on Netflix.

The crime drama, which first aired in 2019, was hugely popular and led to a second season dropping in August 2022, which received a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and dozens of good reviews.

The two-season thriller follows the story of soldier Shaun Emery (Callum Turner) who was acquitted of committing a war crime in Afghanistan but becomes involved in a kidnapping and murder accusation when he returns back to London.

Shaun quickly becomes a victim of the ‘terrifying world of deepfake technology’ after critical CCTV footage comes to light.

Detective Inspector Rachel Carey (Holliday Grainger) is on the case and has to work out whether or not the evidence against him can be believed. 

The second season sees Rachel land in the middle of a new conspiracy with a new target and focuses on the ‘the ever-growing tension between government and Big Tech, and corruption at the heart of the British media.’

The show was extremely popular with viewers when it dropped, with one anonymous Rotten Tomatoes user writing: “Absolutely gripping show. Moves at a great pace with great actors and a great story line. Twists and turns and super realistic to the current world.”

A second wrote: “The story is mind-blowing, especially with its twists & turns. The performances are also impressive. All in all, it’s a great watch and definitely binge-worthy in my opinion.”

While a third added: “One of the best series I’ve ever watched. Thought the first season was good but the 2nd takes it to the next level. Need more series like this. The ending was sublime, left me utterly speechless.”

And a fourth said: “You be hard pressed to find another spy series with as many intelligent twists and turns as this one. It’s compelling viewing with frightening implications.”

Viewers on X also lauded the show, calling it “stunningly good” and “the best thing I’ve seen in ages”.

As well as Strike’s Holliday Grainger and Masters of the Air’s Callum Turner, the stellar cast features Happy Valley’s Charlie Murphy, Gangs of London’s Paapa Essiedu, Doctor Who’s Indira Varma and The Recruit’s Laura Haddock.

With the arrival of the show on Netflix, there’s a whole new audience expected to become addicted to the gripping storyline.

And to make it even better, there’s a third season reportedly in the works, three years after the second season dropped. 

Back in November 2023, Paapa Essiedu was quizzed about whether or not he might be on board for a possible return of The Capture during an interview with Radio Times.

The actor said, “Ben Chanan, who writes the series, I know it’s a story that’s very close to his heart, but I actually don’t remember about the future of it. But I loved working with him and I thought those scripts were amazing.”

“I thought that character was so interesting and he lands in quite an interesting place by the end of that series. So who knows what the future holds for him?”.

The Capture originally aired on BBC One and can now be watched on Netflix.

A MAJOR attraction visited by more than half a million visitors every year has suddenly shut due to “health and safety concerns”.

Ticketholders headed to Cardiff were given no notice of the sudden closure when they turned up yesterday.

According to a printed notice stuck near the entrance, National Museum Cardiff will remain closed to the public “until further notice”.

The sign quoted “building maintenance” as well as “health and safety concerns” as the main reasons for the announcement.

It reassuringly added how the “preservation” of collections remains at their “top priority” during this time period.

The museum is usually free to enter, offering exhibitions and art for all.

From natural history to contemporary art, the installations will not be available after the “difficult decision” to “temporarily close” the doors to the public.

The latest information has been set to be posted on the social media channels for the museum.

In a recent Instagram story, the attraction recommended that hopefully visitors head to St Fagans National Museum of History in the meantime.

A statement released on behalf of the attraction was released yesterday.

It read: “Due to a requirement for immediate maintenance work, Amgueddfa Cymru has made the difficult decision to temporarily close National Museum Cardiff to the public for a short period.

“The safety and well-being of our visitors, staff, and the preservation of our collections will always remain our top priority which is why we have taken this short-term measure to close the museum.

“While this closure is necessary to ensure that the building meets all safety standards, we recognise the impact this may have on our visitors, volunteers and the community.

“Our team is working diligently to address the identified issues and to make the necessary repairs and improvements to guarantee the safety of all those who interact with the museum.

“We will continue to assess the situation and provide updates on our progress but are hopeful that these issues will be addressed over the next few days.

“We sincerely appreciate the understanding and support of our visitors and look forward to welcoming you back soon. For the latest information, please visit our website or follow us on our social media channels. Thank you for your cooperation and patience. “

Some have since taken to social media to express their thought on the latest update.

One person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: “until further NOTICE??? why don’t you have a project plan of the works to be carried out.”

Another said: “Obvs an urgent problem has occurred – hope you are able to sort it. But pretty galling that nothing of closure on website at around 11.45am and you took online payment from us for 12.15 admission to the Streic exhibition! Love @Museum_Cardiff but you made it hard work today!”

Someone else put: “All the schools that visit. It’s so important to Welsh children. And they close it.”

A fourth commented: “Very disappointed to arrive in Cardiff to find this. Any news on a reopening?”

While one user said: “Couldn’t have posted that you were closed today before tens of people turned up for opening?”

It comes after the deteriorating condition of the museum was revealed as a potential risk that could result in closure.

The Welsh Government cut the budget by £4.5m and the Chief Executive of Museum Wales told BBC Radio Wales that it was “extremely difficult” trying to cope with the reductions.

Discussions over the museum charging visitors for special events, tours and exhibitions were also heard.

The Sun has approached National Museum Cardiff for comment.
