@The Old Crem A possible slight tricky dilemma here. One of my choices Sara Mclean I have just noticed has indicted she is pregnant in a post in March on her Instagram account BUT she is more low profile these days and I think her Instagram account is private not public So if I cannot find it reported elsewhere how would we satisfy the criteria for points? Would you be willing to follow her account briefly just to satisfy yourself it is true she has announced she is pregnant etc? I will ost Instagram link here buy as far as I know she is still on a private account so link won't work without a follow. She says in a march post-soon to be four when posing with her child and partner and others congratulated her in the comments. https://www.instagram.com/p/CbHpcPAs1Qk0NLjCuS9i7VklQBWnK73JXzoZiY0/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Hollywood hunk and action man Lee Majors celebrates turning 83 today. Best known for his roles in hit TV series The six billion dollar man and The Fall guy- he was considered quite the heartthrob back in the day. Just as a point of clarity- his Wikipedia page has him born 24th April but he is listed on births for the 23rd April. To settle the confusion I looked up his wife's twitter account and for the last two years his birthday has been the 23rd so I will go with that!
