ARTHUR Gourounlian and Brian Dowling enjoyed a “well needed” break from their “full on household”.
The celebrity couple have two kids together; Blake, 2, and Blu, who they welcomed to the world in June 2024.

The pair often share their day-to-day life at home as a family with their fans.
Yesterday, Brian took to Instagram to post some stunning snippets of their wholesome weekend spent together.
The family-of-four went to the playground together and enjoyed a delicious lunch at a cafe afterwards.
Blake looked like she had a blast as she climbed up the jungle gym, flew down the slide and yapped on the phone while sitting at the restaurant.
The two-year-old wore an adorable cream knit jumper that said “little explorer” on the front, brown leggings and a Micky Mouse green and cream puffer jacket.
Brian and Arthur sectioned off her hair into four plaits and tied them into little buns.
While Blu cuddled into her dad wearing a cream knit jumper with a strawberry on the back and a blue knit hat.
Brian captioned his post: “Thank you, St Bridgid, as this Bank Holiday Weekend was CERTAINLY needed!!!
“It’s been FULL ON in the Dowling Gourounlian Household since January 2nd.
“Myself & @gourounlian are DEFINITELY NOT COMPLAINING as we are so blessed to be doing what we are doing.
“But today, it was just so nice to be able to press pause on everything & spend the whole day together as a FAMILY.
“PATIENCE is key people, especially when dealing with Arthur.”
FAN FAVES
Arthur added: “I mean, what an eventful day. I think I’ll be in bed by 8:30pm, that’s for sure.”
The family’s friends and fans all loved their pictures and raced to the comment section with praise.
Elizabeth wrote: “Just adorable – enjoy your day.”
Aisling said: “Blake’s so funny she just brightens up my day.”
ITVJimmi Harkishin has seemingly had his scenes slashed as his character will go absent[/caption]

ITVHe will ask his partner Bernie to accompany him halfway across the world[/caption]
Up to 75 staffers are set to depart the company as the commercial network has slashed the number of episodes of Coronation Street and Emmerdale.
The cuts will be made across the cast, crew and writers as redundancy talks are now underway.
However, it seems the next character whose scenes will apparently be slashed is Dev Alahan.
Actor Jimmi Harkishin, 59, first joined the cobbles in 1999 playing the bumbling corner shopkeeper.
However, he is set to seemingly depart the soap for the time being after his character will receive some bad news.
He will tell Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) that his Aunt Gita has had a fall and he needs to go abroad.
Dev is set to tell his partner that he has to fly to India to help his family.
But in a bombshell announcement, he says that he would like Bernie to accompany him.
The question is, what will she say in response?
Meanwhile, Dev also has to think of his businesses as he books his tickets.
He owns both the Kebab shop and the corner shop at the end of the street.
Keeping it in the family, he will agree to let his 19-year-old son Aadi (Adam Hussain) keep watch.
Corrie cash crisis: shock exits for 2025
ITV bosses are locked in a battle to save the cash-strapped soap.
This means that a number of stars have either been axed from or have abandoned the long-running serial drama.
Colson Smith – Craig Tinker
The character of Craig Tinker has been axed by bosses after 14 years. After he was told of the news in Autumn 2024, Colson Smith confirmed that would be written out of the show with scenes to air later this year. Craig’s on-screen mum, Beth Tinker, also left the show in the summer when actress Lisa George was written out from the role.
Sue Cleaver – Eileen Grimshaw
After 25 years playing Eileen Grimshaw, former I’m A Celebrity campmate Sue Cleaver will quit the show. The Sun on Sunday reported in January that she’s already begun to film her exit scenes. However the character will not be killed off in case Sue opts to make a return in the future.
The actress became the fifth star to leave Coronation Street in just one month. We revealed that she will bow out of the ITV soap later this year after four years on-screen. Charlotte told sources that she’s hungry to see what other opportunities await.
This comes as ITV boss Kevin Lygo spoke about the shock cutbacks to the soap.
He said: “This new commissioning pattern will mean five hours of soaps a week, rather than the current six.
“We are conscious this will have an impact for the people who work on the soaps team.
“We will support our colleagues in ITV Studios as they work through these changes, and will do what we can to mitigate the impact on our people.”
He went on: “These changes are motivated by doing what we believe is best for the continuing success of these important programmes in the long term.
“They also create headroom in the overall programme budget for investment in programming that can help ITV grow reach in a very very competitive market.”

21 hours agoLatest NewsComments Off on I’ve tried Apple’s surprise new iPhone ‘Invites’ app for seeing pals – you’ll miss out if you ignore small detail
APPLE has just dropped a surprise new app for your iPhone – and I’ve tried it out.
It’s called Invites and it’s meant to make it easier to see pals, but there’s a little detail that might ruin things for you. Even if you’re just trying to organise drinks at the pub.
Sean Keach / The SunThere’s a brand new Apple app out on your iPhone called Invites[/caption]
Sean Keach / The SunIt’s available to download right now, and is meant to make it easier to see pals and family[/caption]
First off, what is Invites?
Well it’s meant to help you invite people to events that you’re planning, and then manage those guests afterwards.
It won’t be on your iPhone by default. You’ll need to go to the App Store to find it.
The app didn’t show up right away when I searched for it. So instead I looked for Apple TV, tapped on the Apple brand, and then downloaded the app from the page.
By the time you read this, it’ll probably be easier to bag.
Once you’re in the app, you can get started with creating events.
I was able to choose a background – you can pick anything you like, but there are some presets, including fun emoji-themed ones.
Then you set up a title, as well as a date and time. There’s also the option for “All Day” if you’re planning something big.
You get the option to plug in a location and an event description too.
Where it gets a little more exciting is the Shared Album option.
You can create an album that anyone who comes to the event can add to.
That way, everyone can stick in their snaps – rather than you having to beg for pics from mates over WhatsApp for days afterwards.
And if you’re throwing a party, there’s also the option to create a Shared Playlist.
This lets guests add their songs to a music playlist that you can use at the event.
Sean Keach / The SunYou can even throw a beer party – but there’s no guarantee that anyone will turn up[/caption]
Sean Keach / The SunYou can customise the event with descriptions, dates and times[/caption]
Don’t worry: if someone picks something naff, you can simply delete it. It’s your party.
Once the event is set up, you can invite people – and manage the RSVPs.
If you want, you can set it up so that you can deny entry to certain people. This might be useful if you’re creating a more public event.
And you can send notes to guests at any time updating them on plans.
Sean Keach / The SunThe app will show you a preview of the invitation that your guests will receive[/caption]
There’s an option to sync your event to your calendar so you don’t forget about it too.
It all sounds pretty handy, so what’s the catch?
Well it turns out that the app isn’t free – or rather, creating events isn’t.
You can be a guest and RSVP to events created with the app even if you don’t have an Apple account – or an iPhone.
Sean Keach / The SunYou can set up a public event or a private one – and there’s the option to approve or deny guests[/caption]
But if you want to use the app to create invitations, you’ll need to subscribe to iCloud+.
In the UK, that’ll cost you at least £0.99 a month – or $0.99 in the US.
So if you’re not willing to fork out for that, you’re stuck.
Of course iCloud+ comes with some other benefits – it’s not just this app.
ICLOUD+ PRICES – HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Here's how much iCloud+ costs in the UK each month based on the amount of storage you get with each tier...
50GB – £0.99 / $0.99
200GB – £2.99 / $2.99
2TB – £8.99 / $9.99
6TB – £26.99 / $29.9
12TB – £54.99 / $59.99
And here’s Apple’s official list of iCloud+ perks:
Expanded storage allows users to keep large libraries of original, high-resolution photos, videos, and files safe in iCloud®, and easily accessible across all of their devices and the web.
Private Relay keeps browsing in Safari® entirely private from network providers, websites, and even Apple.
Hide My Email generates unique, random email addresses whenever needed.
HomeKit® Secure Video allows users to capture and review home security footage in an end-to-end encrypted format.
Custom email domains enable users to personalize their iCloud email address.
Family Sharing allows users to share their iCloud+ subscription with up to five people at no extra cost.
Picture Credit: Apple
With the base plan, you’ll also get 50GB of iCloud storage to back up your files.
There’s a Private Relay feature to help hide your browsing activity, and Hide My Email to create fake email addresses to reduce spam.
And you can also use Family Sharing to let up to five people in your household borrow your iCloud+ subscription at no extra cost.
There’s a good chance that you might already have iCloud+, so just head into Settings > [Name] > iCloud on your iPhone to check.
Sean Keach / The SunYou can easily filter the app to see upcoming and past events, as well as drafts, parties you’re hosting, and gatherings that you’ve agreed to go to[/caption]
In any case, remember that when you create an event, you can share it with anyone. They won’t need iCloud+ to see it.
It seems like a decent way to create, share, and manage events.
People might not want to use it for weddings where physical invites can feel more personal.
But if you’re throwing a birthday party or just want to go for pints down the pub, it’s pretty easy to chuck something together with Invites.
Of course, it can’t guarantee that anyone will actually come. There’s no app for that yet.
