He's a granddad at 29, she's a granny at 30 (and the child's mother is only 14): The baby with Britain's youngest grandparents

-Maternity nurses thought Shem Davies was so fresh-faced they asked him to prove he was over the age of 16 before he could see his grandchild
-He thinks the teenage father of the child is a 'decent young man'
-Young mum Tia admits 'she wouldn't be happy' if newborn Gracie became pregnant at 14

Happy family: Jordan, bottom left, with Tia and Gracie, and proud grandparents Shem and Kelly


An unemployed man, 29, has become one of Britain's youngest grandparents after his daughter gave birth at 14.

Shem Davies and his former girlfriend Kelly John, 30, were overjoyed when their daughter Tia, who was born when her parents were 15, gave birth to little Gracie earlier this month. Tia's boyfriend, Jordan Williams, is 15.

Shem said: 'It is an absolute joy to see Gracie thriving. I'm incredibly proud of Tia. She'll be a brilliant mum. At first I wasn't overly pleased that she was pregnant but I soon got over than. Now it's all about being positive.


'I've got to know Jordan and he's shaping up to be a decent young man,' Shem told The People.

However, nurses at the maternity unit were left embarrassed after they thought the young grandfather was in fact the teenage father of Gracie.

Apparently when he entered the ward they thought the 29-year-old looked so fresh-faced they asked him to prove he was over the age of 16.

But the arrival of Gracie wasn't easy as Tia was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, seven weeks before her due date.

Worried doctors decided their best option would be to deliver the tot by Caesarean section.

The condition, which often leaves expectant mothers with high blood pressure and protein in their urine, could lead to life-threatening symptoms for both mother and baby.

Tia said the contrast between the carefree fun of the school playground and then the fear of death for her and the baby was something she would never forget.

Happily after a 25 minute operation Gracie was born but only weighed 2lb and was rushed to the special care unit at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, which is close to the family home.

Little Gracie is still being kept in an incubator but has managed to put on enough weight which means she will be allowed home in a few weeks.

A week after Gracie was born Tia celebrated her 15th birthday in the ward surrounded by friends and family.

Proud parents: Jordan and Tia with their newborn daughter Gracie who was born prematurely


The teenager, who has been dating Jordan for 18 months and wants to be a hairdresser, said she didn't plan on celebrating her birthday in hospital but added that her baby daughter was the best present she could ask for.

Once mother and daughter have been released from hospital they will be staying with grandmother Kelly so that Tia can finish school.

Grandad Shem, who has a young son of his own, said he is keen to get stuck in and help Tia and Jordan settle into life.

Jordan, who sat his final GCSE just weeks before Gracie arrived, said he understands responsibility. 'I'm captain of the school rugby team and that's like having 14 kids.'

Father and daughter: Shem with his daughter Tia and granddaughter Gracie


Despite her young age, mother Tia says that she would not be happy if newborn Gracie became pregnant at 14 but that she would do as her mum did, which is respect her choice to have a child.

She also paid tribute to her mother, who was 15 when she was born, saying that she could not have wished for a better parent and role model adding that they have a very close relationship.

Britain's high teenage pregnancy rate means that many more young people in this generation are set to become grandparents in their late twenties and early thirties.

The latest figures show in 2009 38,259 girls under 18 became pregnant, but nearly 50 per cent had a termination.

The UK still leads the way when it comes to young mothers, and our rate is five-times higher than in the Netherlands and twice that of France and Spain.

Westlife's Kian Egan announces he and wife Jodi Albert are expecting their first baby

By Sarah Bull


Excited: Westlife singer Kian Egan has revealed he and wife Jodi Albert are expecting their first child together


Westlife star Kian Egan and his wife Jodi Albert have announced they are expecting their first child.

The 31-year-old singer told fans on his Twitter page this afternoon that he and Parade singer Jodi are 'delighted' about the prospect of becoming parents.

He wrote: 'Myself and my wife @JodiWonderland are delighted to say we are expecting our first baby! We are so happy and cannot wait to be parents x.'


Former Hollyoaks actress Jodi, 28, also reiterated the couple's statement on her Twitter page.

The couple married in a romantic ceremony on Turtle Beach in the Caribbean in May 2009, after five years together.

Since then, Kian has been working hard not only in Westlife but also managing Jodi's girlband Wonderland.

Proud: Kian announced the news on his Twitter page this afternoon


Talking about her hopes for the success of the group recently, Jodi said she was looking forward to the challenge of competing with the success of bands such as Girls Aloud.

She said: 'I know that Girls Aloud may reform next year, but I welcome that as I think we can hold our own. If we become half as successful that’s be amazing.'

'We have gained quite a few fans, though, in part thanks to Westlife who we’ve opened for in concert in front of 70-odd thousand people – not many new bands get that chance. It’s been great for us and the reception’s been good.'


Expecting: Jodi kept her stomach hidden as she and Kian stepped out last month


But Jodi also revealed she actually had to audition for her husband before he agreed to put her in the band.

She said: 'Don’t get me wrong, it was probably one of the hardest auditions I’ve ever had to do and I’ve been to a lot of auditions in my life.

'But I just had to grit my teeth and go for it, and forget for a second about everything else. I thought to myself, I either want to do this and get signed or I can get silly about it and then I may as well just go home.'

Who's a beautiful baby? Zara's niece gets an excited cuddle from mummy

By Daily Mail Reporter


Smooch: Peter Phillips' wife Autumn plants a smacker on the cheek of their baby daughter Savannah as they leave the Palace of Holyroodhouse after the wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall

Her demeanour might well have been one of dignity and elegance for her sister-in-law Zara Phillips' wedding yesterday.

However today, Autumn Phillips showed off an all together more unguarded and loving side as she planted a kiss on the cheek of her adorable baby daughter as they left the Holyroodhouse.

Savannah looked delighted and grinned as her mother lifted her into the air and landed her lips on the little one's face.

Oh baby! Autumn chats with a policeman outside Holyroodhouse the day after the wedding, as baby Savannah looks on with curiosity


The youngster was also captured staring curiously at a policeman who chatted casually with her mother as they waited outside the wedding reception venue.

They were joined by a smiling Peter Phillips who looked relaxed as he loaded his family's belongings into a waiting car, including Savannah's buggy.

Dressed in jeans and casual shirts, the couple's easygoing attire was in stark contrast to the smart splendour displayed for the wedding the day before, and also the evening wear on show at the pre-wedding cocktail party on board HMS Britannia.

But today, it looked as though the whole family had thoroughly enjoyed the wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall as a string of Royals gradually emerged from the wedding reception venue throughout the afternoon.

The morning after the night before: Autumn and Peter Phillips look relaxed as they load Savannah's pushchair and other belongings into their car

All smiles: Little Savannah looks delighted as she gets a playful kiss from mummy while dad Peter beams as he joins his family outside the venue


Zara's mother, The Princess Royal, Prince Harry, the Duke of York and Prince Edward with his wife the Countess of Wessex were all spotted leaving the palace - along with Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie - at various points throughout the day.

And, of course, the happy couple were seen making their way home.

Mike Tindall, known for his love of a good party, looked as thought he'd had the time of his life after marrying long-time love Zara.

The England rugby star was spotted wearing the same grey trousers and blue collared shirt he did the day before and looked as though he hadn't slept a wink. He later re-emerged in a change of clothes.

His new wife Zara looked radiant in white jeans, flip flops and a beige sleeveless top.

The newlyweds departed from the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh this afternoon in a chauffeur-driven silver Mercedes.

In all their finery: The couple's casual attire today was a far cry from their smart suits worn at Zara and Mike's wedding yesterday

Cocktail hour: The couple also turned on the glamour for a pre-wedding drinks party on HMS Brittania the night before the big day


But instead of heading off on honeymoon, the sporting couple are postponing their break and preparing for a return to training this week.

Former equestrian world champion Zara, 30, will be competing in the Gatcombe Park horse trials later this week and England rugby star Tindall, 32, is likely to feature in a match against Wales next Saturday.

The Queen and Prince Philip left by helicopter and were taken to Balmoral Castle to begin their summer holiday Prince Charles and the Duchess or Cornwall are thought to have left before them and headed for the Caslte of Mey.

The couple have been determined to keep their wedding a private family occasion, but the crowds have been equally determined to share in their happiness during the first Royal wedding to be held in Scotland in 20 years.

Flower girls: Beatrice and Eugenie leave with floral memories of the big wedding while Harry's happy to be out of his suit

By Emily Allen


Morning after: Princess Beatrice clutches wedding flowers as she leaves Holyroodhouse Palace in Edinburgh with her boyfriend Dave Clarke


They are so beautiful - it really would be a shame to waste them.

Well, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie certainly thought so as they were pictured clutching a bouquet of flowers from the wedding of Zara Phillips and rugby star Mike Tindall.

Perhaps they thought they would brighten up their own homes - and serve as a memento of their cousin's big day.

Or maybe they thought they would cheer up their mother, Sarah, Duchess of York, who was not invited to the Scottish nuptials.

Princess Eugenie - also clutching flowers - leaves in a bright blue dress and blazer with her father Prince Andrew


Despite the beautiful blooms she was carrying, Beatrice looked rather worse-for-wear as she left the Palace at Holyroodhouse in a navy blue blazer, pink scarf and flat shoes - with long-term boyfriend Dave Clark in tow.

A more fresh-faced Princess Eugenie left the palace with her father Prince Andrew in a turquoise dress, black ballet pumps and a navy jacket.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry looked pleased to be out of his wedding suit. He was photographed in a much more hangover-friendly jeans and a blue denim shirt as he got into a white Jaguar XJL for a lift home.

Dressing down: Prince Harry in a more comfortable jeans and linen shirt, and Princess Eugenie looking delighted with her free bouquet


Dressed down as ever, mother-of-the-bride Princess Anne left the palace in a navy blue anorak and departed Edinburgh in a waiting Bentley.

Earlier in the day photographers were waiting outside the palace only to see new groom Mike Tindall still in his wedding gear.

His new bride Zara however, wore flat, brown leather sandals, white jeans and a sleeveless beige top, whilst her hair was scraped back in a ponytail.

Smart: Princesses Eugenie, left, looked elegant in a chocolate-brown dress whilst Princess Beatrice opted for a bright blue dress adorned with flowers and crystals - not to mention a 'satellite dish' hat


With Tindall having finally changed his clothes, the newly-weds headed off in a silver Mercedes to enjoy one last afternoon together before Tindall returns to training with the England rugby squad tomorrow.

Former equestrian world champion Zara, 30, will be competing in the Gatcombe Park horse trials later this week and 32, is likely to feature in a match against Wales next Saturday.

The Queen and Prince Philip left by helicopter and were taken to Balmoral Castle to begin their summer holiday.

Prince Charles and the Duchess or Cornwall are thought to have left before them and headed for the Caslte of Mey.

The pair emerged a little later and Mike had finally changed out of his wedding gear into something a little more casual

THE SATELLITE DISH OR THE LOO SEAT - WHICH WAS WORSE?


It had been widely-regarded as a fashion faux pas – but the pink silk hat that Princess Beatrice wore to the Royal Wedding was almost topped this weekend - but not quite.

At her second royal wedding this year, the Princess showed off her love for unusual headgear with a hat widely described as 'a satellite dish'.

One Twitter commentator tweeted: 'Is Beatrice helping Sky get close up coverage?'

Headgear: Princess Beatrice's 'satellite' dish wedding hat was not as bad as her Royal Wedding 'loo seat'


The peculiar turquoise number perched at an angle on her head and matched her Angela Kelly turquoise double silk fitted jacket and dress which was adorned with flowers and crystals.

But despite it's unusual design, fortunately for Beatrice it did not attract quite as much negative attention as the much-derided hat she wore to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton in April.

The 22-year-old put the distinctive Philip Treacy design up for auction on eBay following the uproar raising £81,000 for children's charities.

Not bad for a £1,000 creation which had variously been compared to a cat flap, a pretzel and a toilet seat.

'I'm not going to stop until I have a Bentley like Simon Cowell's!' Cher Lloyd reveals plans to become a 'big businesswoman'

By Sarah Bull


Big plans: Cher Lloyd says she wants to be as big as Simon Cowell


Cher Lloyd has revealed she isn't going to stop in the music industry until she is rich enough to buy a Bentley like the one Simon Cowell owns.

The 18-year-old singer, whose debut single Swagger Jagger is released tomorrow, said she isn't going to let any criticism hold her back in her mission to make it as the next big thing in music.

She said: 'I just ignore anyone that doesn’t like my music. I’m not stopping until I have a Bentley like Simon has got.'

Nice ride: The 18-year-old admitted she's not going to stop until she has a Bentley the same as the one owned by Simon Cowell


Cher also revealed Simon has always encouraged her to stick to her own unique style when it comes to her attitude and her music.

She added to the Sunday Mirror: 'He told me not to change and not let people tell me what to do. He said listen to people that know best but always do what your gut says is right. He’s a good man.

‘I’d love to be like Simon. I really look up to him and everything he has achieved. I want to be a big businesswoman.

'One day I’d like my own record label to give other artists the chance to get their music out there.’

In the meantime, Cher is hoping Swagger Jagger and her debut album, out in November, prove successful.

And the former X Factor star said despite negative criticism surrounding the catchy track, she maintains it is a good song.

She said: 'Swagger Jagger stood out from the beginning as the first single. But there are other tracks on the album with different sounds. I’d love my album to do well.

'And I’d love to do a tour as well at some point so I can perform the songs live. I’m going to be doing lots of gigs this year no ­matter what.'

Since appearing on The X Factor, Cher has made a name for herself as one of the most famous former contestants, but says she doesn't think of herself as a celebrity.

Colourful: Cher performed her debut single Swagger Jagger at T4 On The Beach earlier this month


She said: 'I don’t really see myself as being famous. I’m just well-known. I’m coping well with it all, I think. My whole life has changed, but I’m ­learning something new every day.

'I’m no big drama - I just get on with it and don’t care. I don’t expect too much and in return don’t expect too much from me.'
