Judi Love slams Serena Williams ‘geriatric pregnancy’ jibes

Tennis pro Serena Williams announced she's expecting another baby girl with her husband Alexis Ohanian, and our columnist Judi Love paid congratulations.

She said: "They’re already amazing parents to Olympia, so I can’t wait to see them take on their next adventure."

However, she also weighed in on the social media comments that followed the adorable announcement, with many dubbing Serena as having a "geriatric pregnancy" referring to a medical term that applies to any mum-to-be over the age of 35.

Judi continued: "Because Serena is 41, a couple of commenters have called it a “geriatric pregnancy” but that’s out of order. I know it’s a medical term, but she’s a happy, healthy, beautiful woman who has had an incredible career.

"Why shouldn’t she have another baby? You don’t see them calling it “geriatric sperm”!"

And speaking of celebrations, Judi also revealed that she was partying it up with Stormzy last week at his 30th birthday party – titled #TheMikeGala.

The 43-year-old said: "I was invited for a night of admiration and celebration. He’s a trailblazer and you can see how far he’s come since he released his first single almost 10 years ago. He’s matured as a performer and a gentleman and I know he’ll enjoy a long and successful career.

"He gave us a truly elegant evening, from the delicious food to the knockout entertainment. I even got to be in the music video for his new single Angel In The Marble. My daughter is such a huge fan of his, so she couldn’t believe it when I told her," she said giving details of the night.

However, it wasn't all fun and games in Hollywood this week as Judi explains, as Cardi B was met with backlash last week after a video showed her throwing a mic into the audience.

But Judi was quick to defend the singer and urged fans to think about the other side of the story. She said, "but people aren’t realising that the gig-goer had thrown a cup full of liquid at her.

"At the time, Cardi may have feared that the liquid was urine, or worse, acid, so I understand why she’d be both terrified and angry enough to react. We are seeing these incidents time and time again. What can we do to protect our performers? Before we know it, artists will have to perform behind nets or screens, which would ruin the experience for everyone."

Another thing that was on our columnist's mind was reality TV, which Judi admits has "gone crazy" following the shock result of Love Island final.

"After enduring a turbulent on-off relationship on the show for the last two months, the nation was shocked to see Jess and Sammy crowned winners of Love Island," Judi continued.

"They described their romance as a “struggle of love”, while Whitney and Lochan were finding a genuine connection without as much as a new lovers’ tiff."

And her opinions didn't stop there as whispers about who might join I’m A Celebrity this year. "Rumours have since been circulating that Boris Johnson could be appearing on I’m A Celebrity. Yes, really!

"Matt Hancock set the precedent last year for politicians attempting to redeem themselves by going into the jungle, but it just didn’t work. People couldn’t forgive him. If Boris takes part, I know I’d like to see him eat a crocodile’s willy."

And lastly on Judi's mind this week is her upcoming annual Loose Women live tour.

She excitedly told us: "My Loose Women ladies and I will be heading out on the road next month for the show’s annual live tour. I’ve never done the annual tour before, so I’m really excited to meet some of our lovely fans in person and have a laugh with my pals along the way.

"I’ll be taking part in the Cardiff and Birmingham shows and will be sure to bring the banter – so grab your tickets now."
