Charlotte Church thought she was going to die when she began her grueling weight-loss regime. The curvy 23-year-old singer is feeling "sexy again" after losing 12kg in two months, but friends say her new body didn't come easily.

An insider said: "Charlotte works out five days a week and reckons it's the most intensive workout she's ever followed."

Charlotte Church has named her baby Dexter Lloyd. The singer-turned-TV presenter, who gave birth to her second child with rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson on Sunday, has released the boy's moniker on her personal website.

A statement released online read: "Gavin and Charlotte have chosen the name Dexter for their new baby boy. In keeping with Henson family tradition, Dexter will also have the name Lloyd as a middle name."

Charlotte Church has given birth to a boy. The 22-year-old Welsh singer welcomed the 7lb 5oz tot into the world in the early hours of Sunday morning.

According to Charlotte's website, both mother and baby are "doing just fine" after the midnight delivery in a birthing pool at the Glamorgan home she shares with her rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson.

Cheryl Cole says she wants to have a baby. The 25-year-old beauty - who decided to forgive soccer star husband Ashley Cole earlier this year following allegations he cheated on her with three different women - insists she won't let Girls Aloud prevent her from starting a family.

She said: "I am having thoughts about having children. Girls Aloud wouldn't break up if I had a baby, but it would change the dynamics."

Keira Knightley has topped a poll of perfect pouts. "The Duchess" star beat "Wanted" actress Angelina Jolie to the number one spot in a public survey by lip care company Blistex.

Keira, 23, has previously said she doesn't think her pursed lips are attractive, claiming it makes her look like she is having trouble with her bowel movements.

Charlotte Church's estranged father has pleaded for her to contact him.

Stephen Reed - Charlotte's biological dad, who walked out on his family when the singer was just two - wants to be reunited with his daughter 20 years after he last saw her.
