Return of Teen Mom UK

Teen Mom UK is back! It's the UK version of the hit American series Teen Mom (itself a spin-off of 16 and Pregnant and sister show Teen Mom 2 and the first series was shown last November. Now it's back for the second one starting next Wednesday. You can read my original post on TM UK here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2016/11/teen-mom-uk.html

The first series followed 5 girls, Chloe, Amber, Mia, Megan and Naomi. This time round the first 4 are back but Naomi has left and been replaced by new girl Sassi Simmons.  Naomi is taking a break to focus on her career and looking after daughter Kyanna, who must be about 3 since she was 2 in the last series. Her relationship with Kyanna's father Raphael wasn't good, from the outside it looked like he didn't treat her very well. They are currently not together. Naomi seems like a good mum and I look forward to hearing more about her and Kyanna in the future. :)

Now for some updates. :)


Sassi

New girl Sassi Simmonds is 18 and has daughter Zena'ya, 7 months with her boyfriend Darren. She's from Stockport in Greater Manchester. She used to work in a call centre but is now starting a new caerer as a construcion worker.

Sassi doesn't have an official Facebook page but she has her personal one where her relationship status is listed as "single". According to a recent article in the Sun (see below) she was still with Darren but things have changed. (Not sure how reliable a source The Sun is anyway, to be honest! lol). No doubt we'll find out in future.

Update 22/3/20: Sassi's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sassi_simonds/


Megan

Megan Salmon-Ferrari (now 19) had a dramatic time on the show last series. She found out that her fiance Dylan, the father of her son McKenzie (20 months), had cheated on her with her best friend a day before he proposed to her. They called off the engagement but Dylan later proposed again and Megan accepted. We also saw them decide to try for another baby and at the end of the series Megan revealed that was pregnant again. She gave birth to a baby girl named Dulcie-Mae in March this year.

I've just read that the beginning of S2 Megan reveals that her engagement to Dylan is off again because of his partying. She's also just announced on her Facebook page that she's taking a break from social media due to the online abuse she's been getting. It must be hard, online abuse seems to be getting out of control. :( And even though, as she said, she put herself on TV no one deserves all the hate that celebrities and reality stars get. I hope things work out for Megan, Dylan and the kids.

Chloe

19 year old Chloe Patton's relationship with son Marley's dad Jordan went through a bad patch during the last series. They fought a lot and Chloe also struggled with her body image after giving birth to Marley, now 18 months. She and Jordan wanted to buy their own house but couldn't afford it. They're currently living with Chloe's parents.

Amber

Amber Butler's ex Ste had a hard time letting of her and they had problems co-parenting their son Brooklyn. There was a massive fallout over Brooklyn's christening invitations! We also saw Amber start darting again which Ste wasn't happy about at first. Amber says that this series they're getting on better. Brooklyn is now going through the "terrible twos"!

Mia

Mia Boardman became a first time mum when she gave birth to daughter Marliya on the programme. Marliya's dad Manley also has a child with his ex Erin; daughter Aaliyah. Mia struggled with jealously over Manley and Erin seeing each other because of Aaliyah and also felt that Manley's family thought she was a bad mum.

Marliya is now 1 and Mia and Manley are still together but Mia says their relationship had changed since they both became parents and they don't plan to have another baby any time soon.

Here's a trailer for S2:




I enjoyed the first series of Teen Mom UK so I'm looking forward to the new one. The girls aren't celebrities like the American mums have become, so I think their lives are more typical of what the average teen mums are like. I like all the girls but I'd say my favourite mums are Mia and Megan. :) I liked Naomi and I think it's a shame she's gone (at least for now) but I'm interested to meet Sassi and her family. In Teen Mom 2 there's also a new cast member, Briana DeJesus from TM3 (it wasn't very popular and only ran for one series/season). I think that's just starting in America but we're not getting it here in the UK yet.

Series 2 of Teen Mom UK starts on Wednesday 26th July at 8pm on MTV (UK).

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

K-pop Comebacks- BTS

Sorry the 2nd post is later again this week, I didn't manage to get it finished yesterday. :) Last month I started a mini series called K-pop Comebacks, featuring the comebacks of K-pop groups during 2026. The first one was about BLACKPINK and you can see it here:  https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2026/03/k-pop-comebacks-blackpink.html Today I'm focusing on BTS (one of the most popular Korean boybands ). They debuted in 2013 and are a 7-member group, made up of leader RM, formerly known as Rap Monster (real name Kim Nam Joon), SUGA (Min Yoon Gi), Jin (full name Kim Seok Jin), j-hope (Jung Ho-seok), Jimin (Park Ji Min), V (Kim Tae Hyung) and Jungkook (Jeon Jung Kook). * Since then, the boys have been very successful, not only in South Korea but internationally. They are probably one of the most well-known K-pop bands worldwide.  In June 2022, the group took a break while the members served their  mandatory military service in Korea and have also been concentrat...

Weekly Music Video

Sorry there wasn't a 2nd post last week, I was going through a bit of a stressful time and didn't manage to get one finished. :) This week's video is I CONDEMN by Australian singer and rapper The Kid LAROI . It was the first single from the deluxe version of his second album BEFORE I FORGET. The original album was released in January and the deluxe version came out on 24th April. It contains 9 extra tracks, including  I CONDEMN and latest single PIECES. I wasn't aware that there was a deluxe version until I saw that some new songs had appeared on Spotify! I like BEFORE I FORGET and my favourite songs from the original version are ME + YOU, JULY,  COME DOWN and RATHER BE featuring Australian rapper and singer Lithe . One of my fave songs on the deluxe version is QUIT YOU, and I also like HOLD STILL and I CONDEMN. The newest single PIECES came out on out the same day as the album. I CONDEMN was released on 17th April. As with the songs on the original BEFORE I FORGET, it...
