Meet the mums who called their babies Bambi like Molly-Mae – who reveal how others react
FORMER Love Islanders Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury broke the internet by announcing the very unusual name for their new baby. The happy couple plumped for the Disney-inspired Bambi, and it has proved almost as divisive as Brexit. Influencer Molly-Mae is said to have set her heart on the name when she was young and she told fans in a video on her YouTube channel last year that they will either “love or hate” it. While she and boxer Tommy , both 23, have received some positive feedback, Molly-Mae has now disabled the comments function on her name-reveal post. Prior to the birth, she told fans on YouTube: “It’s a really really unusual and a different name, I do not know anybody else with the name. “I’ve not seen any other girls with the name before, it’s that different.” READ MORE ON BEING NAMED BAMBI OH DEER I named my kid Bambi like Molly-Mae & Tommy Fury - I'm trolled but don't care A BIG FAWN I've same name … [Read more...] about Meet the mums who called their babies Bambi like Molly-Mae – who reveal how others react

Punxsutawney Phil comes out tomorrow for Groundhog Day – but these 7 other animals also have predictions ahead of spring
GROUNDHOG day is tomorrow as Americans wait to see if Punxsutawney Phil will see his shadow or not. While Phil remains the crown prince of the holiday that predicts whether or not millions of Americans have six more weeks of winter, other animals have given him competition. According to folklore, there will be six more weeks of winter if he sees his shadow. If he doesn’t, spring comes early. The tradition began among the German community in Pennsylvania in 1887 and has become a massive tourist event in the last few decades. Scramble the Duck, who wows Connecticut residents with his accurate predictions on Duck Day, and Bob the Armadillo, who gives hope to his fellow Texans for fewer harsh winter days, are giving Phil a run for his money. Scramble and Bob predict the weather like Phil does - if they see their shadow, then that means another six more weeks of winter. Bob is about seven years old and lives with his owners, Ralph and Sandra Fisher, on their ranch in … [Read more...] about Punxsutawney Phil comes out tomorrow for Groundhog Day – but these 7 other animals also have predictions ahead of spring
