'It's been a while': Imogen Thomas celebrates first night out since giving birth with bottle of champagne
We're just gutted Imogen didn't invite us
And suddently, the world started spinning again...
She was the queen of champagne and canapes at celebrity parties and there isn't a nightclub in London where Imogen Thomas hasn't dazzled with her dance moves.
But after becoming a mum seven weeks ago to adorable daughter Ariana, the party loving model has avoided nights out and boozy lunches. Just the thought makes us go cold.
All of that changed last night when the gorgeous 30-year-old shared a picture of herself on Twitter with a bottle of champers firmly in her grip while holding a full glass.
Imogen wrote with the fun snap: 'Hmmm don't know about the taste of this...been a while!'.
We're not sure how long it is before someone can lose their taste for expensive plonk or bottles of fizz but here's hoping the former Miss Wales finds her feet in stilettos a gain soon.
Considering she ranked in our Top 10 Most Naked Celebrity on Twitter (EVER), on this occasion Imogen glammed up in a flowing dress with heels and showed off her Mulberry bag as she posed for the picture.
Imogen revealed this week her goal to lose her baby weight and return to her previous size 10 figure.
'I just feel like nothing looks nice on me and I just cover up with baggy clothes.
Has Imogen done a Jessie J?
'The doctors said I had to wait six weeks before exercising after my c-section,' she wrote in her Star magazine column.
'I'll soon be eating a lot healthier and power-walking - I'm determined to get back into my size 10 jeans.'
To be fair, we're just looking forward to see her do these amazing poses that she used to do before growing another human inside her tummy.

Earlier this week, Imogen tweeted a photo of her semi-naked and wrote: 'Just had a lush @fakebakeukltd tan at home!! All Ready for Easter celebrations #baked ;-).'
We bet her celebrations involve a lovely little Easter egg hunt for Ariana and a massive family roast lunch.
While ours will pretty much consist of us either forcing all the chocolate into our face like a confectionery version of waterboarding, or sitting in the pub drinking bottle after bottle of Pinot and arguing about how dogs walk (is it arm/leg opposites or arm/leg one at a time?)
PS. It's fine, Imogen. We didn't want to be invited anyway...
Justin Bieber's monkey seized at an airport in Germany as the pair try to board his private jet
Justin Bieber has hoards of fans all around the world so they may be a little sad to hear of his latest troubles â€" the star’s pet monkey has reportedly been seized at a German airport after he tried to take it on a transatlantic flight this week.
The Baby singer, 19, seems to lead a weird and wacky life, which is no surprise as one of the biggest pop stars in the world, but this latest story is rather bizarre.
We can’t help but wonder why Justin didn’t simply opt for a little puppy or fluffy little rabbit for a pet rather than a monkey.
Anyway, little Mally is a capuchin monkey which was given to Justin for his 19th birthday by his friend and music producer Jamal Rashid.
Look at how cute he is! Â
Super-teen Justin was travelling with his trusted companion from Poland back to his home in Los Angeles when he made a stop in the German city of Munich to board his super posh private jet.
However, innocent Justin’s day started to get all very serious when customs officials stopped him from taking his little friend back to America because he did not have the correct paperwork to be travelling with the animal.
A spokesperson told The Sun: “The animal required a certificate of health and other authorisations.
“You cannot just land with a wild animal and bring it into the country if the flight has not originated from another EU country and you don’t have the proper paperwork.â€
This is Justin's pet hamster. Or has the monkey secretly morphed into the little fluff ball?
That just made us yawn a little bit but, while Justin’s camp is yet to comment on the news, hopefully he will be reunited with his little pal soon.
Poor old Justin has had a tough time lately after he allegedly turned up almost two hours late for a UK show and later had a bit of a scuffle with a photographer in London earlier this month.
Tyrone on trial! What we learnt from Corrie’s dramatic court week

Let’s not underplay this: I am devastated. Devastated. It’s the end of Kirsty; my favourite Corrie villain of all time since Lewis Archer was my favourite Corrie villain of all time a few weeks ago.
There she was, all hurt face and big eyes in the back of the prison van, and I don’t think there’s any plot twists around the corner to save her. It’s not 24. She’s not going to be intercepted in a prison van switch and turn up with a different hairdo as Tony Almeida’s new sidekick.
This is properly the end. Unless.... well have we clarified how long her sentence will be? Is there going to be a trial?
And if there is, can we please get Deirdre back in the witness box, because that woman was made to stand up in court, dropping her hs and hamming (amming?) it up like Tyrone’s mum â€" ironically â€" probably taught her to do during her stint in prison. “’e was ‘oppin mad!†she pronounced, with a dramatic arm sweep and a cheeky glance ove r at Ken.
So we didn’t learn how to speak properly, but here’s what we did learn from this week’s Corrie...
Corrie does court: It’s a thing of genius
No wonder it’s such a regularly occurring plot device. Mary on the back row with her sweets and her note-making. The dramatic barristers shouting things like ‘But I put it to you sir that you were snogging the preposterously named ‘Fiz’ in something called a ginnel while Stella from The Rovers put the bins out?’. Deirdre, just being Deirdre, as Fiz threatened to ‘smash her stupid glasses’.
I mean, the less said about those jury members they’ve wheeled out from the local extras school, the better (Anyone got a shocked face? Do your best shocked faces, guys!), and Tina was pretty crap on the stand, but the rest of it... pure perfection.
Tyrone's 'Mr Cellophane' audition piece may have gone a bit too well Â
So much better than the slightly underwhelming Fire Week, during which we lost Sunita and someone who’s name I’ve already forgotten. Terri?
Oh chill out, Mike Barnes from Hollyoaks, I know your mate’s name really.
It’s Tammi, right?
Stoned Sylvia: Now that’s how to do a light-hearted plot balancer
Olives: lovely to eat; boring in a soap opera storyline. But this week’s drama/ comedy juxtaposition was SO MUCH BETTER.
Stoned Sylvia, being sold special brownies (I may be in my early 30s, but my drug lingo is about as current as Sylvia’s, apologies) by her mate from the 1 o’clock club. Great writing (“The most surpris ing thing you’d expect to find in a brownie would be a glacier cherry or a walnut†and “If you think you’re going to push your dirty drugs in this establishment, you’re very much mistaken†being two of my personal favourites), great acting, and a very funny moment involving Sylvia greedily licking mayonnaise off a sandwich when she got the munchies.
Classic Corrie.
Sunita is the only person who has a grudge against Stella
Really though? Really? Because I know a few more, just a few and their names are THE ENTIRE NORTHERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY.
Our grudge is thus: it’s been a good year now since you arrived in Corrie, purporting to be a down-to-earth northern barmaid. The fact that you still talk as though you live in the east end of London and are married to Ian Beale (oh wait), and that this has not been worked into a storyline (Identity theft? A big con? A few years living in Kent when Eva was a baby? All would have worked) is starting to grate.
Sunita's got cause for a grudge, she's had to listen to a lot of wailing Â
I’m not saying I burnt down the Rovers - I promise you I didn’t, I’ve got an alibi and everything â€" but I cannot speak for my Northern comrades. We take our accents very seriously.
Want some help? Listen to the way Tyrone says ‘Rub-eh’. Got it?
When things go wrong, who doesn’t want Anna Windass to make them a bacon sandwich and a tea?
It’s the morning version of Sally Webster with a bottle of wine in the fridge. Pre-midday, I want Anna’s butties; post midday, crack open the Sauv Blanc Sal, me and Gail are coming round.
Kirsty is the greatest Corrie villain there ever was
I know what you’re going to say, and who didn’t love Tricky Dickie? But for me, he was too purely evil.
I like my baddies to make me doubt myself, to every now and again to do something that makes me think ‘Oh wait! Actually he/ she is really lovely! I’ve been wrong all along! Let’s al l go and get a bacon sandwich from Anna Windass together!’.
It’s the reason I was so partial to John Stape. And I know what you’re thinking â€" you’re thinking ‘Didn’t she say Lewis Archer was her favourite ever Corrie villain, about three weeks ago?’ (Well either that, or you’re new to this column, in which case, you’re not thinking that at all, and also HELLO! Thanks for joining us! I hope you like it?).
You're barred: Maybe Â
But this week, and for as long as this storyline’s been at the fore, my Best Baddie prize goes to Kirsty, peaking as she walked into court, hysterical that she may hurt baby Rub-eh, and handed her over to Tyrone. She cried, Fiz cried, and oh god, I cried.
See! She wasn’t bad everyone, she was troubled, and haunted, and it wasn’t her fault, ok? Good, glad we’ve got that sorted, now when’s the prison break happening?
Tune in next week when we’ll be hoping Ryan’s nipples stay in his ridiculously low-cut shirt (this is Manchester in an awfully cold March, Ryan, please just do up a button) and see if what I think might be happening between Gary and Tina is actually happening between Gary and Tina. Anyone else spotted it?
The Voice 2013 live: Relive all the excitement of the first episode here

Justin Timberlake's shock confession: "I took many substances and was tripping my mind out at Coachella"
Justin Timberlake seems like a lovely chap â€" he was once the childhood sweetheart of Britney Spears, he was a member of boyband ‘N Sync and, more recently, he’s been singing about smart clothes on his track Suit Tie.
But it seems there is a much naughtier side to the old Trousersnake than we could ever have imagined!
The singer, 32 (erm, how did that happen?!), admits he may not have been… how can we put this… quite himself when he first started partying at music festivals back in the day.
Lovely Justin told Myspace: “I’ve been to Coachella many times, on many different, um, substances.
“I’ve been to Coachella many times but not remembered a lot of it, I’ll leave it at that.
“Like, I stood in an open field one year and saw Nine Inch Nails and the next year I saw Weezer and I was standing in the middle of the field, you know, like tripping my mind out.â€
This is Justin in his video for Mirrors. Maybe this is what he did while he was "tripping" in a field
However, luckily, for pretty much all of us, Justin has seen the light and now prefers cooking to going on, erm, trips.
Rather embarrassingly for him, Justin’s grandmother has revealed he now has a keen interest in cooking after getting married to actress Jessica Biel last October.
Proud granny Sadie Bomar told The Sun: “I’ve taught Justin to cook. He loves my pies and now he makes my three-layer pie. It’s got a chocolate layer, but Justin makes it with butterscotch…
“Justin comes in the kitchen with me when I’m in there because he wants to know how it’s done. He comes in, puts an apron on and he wants to learn.
“Jessica is a lucky girl because he makes her good, home cooked pies. I’ve taught him well.â€
Wow! Just, wow!
Look at these pictures of Justin being fantastic. Just because...
The Voice's Danny O'Donoghue admits to snogging loads of girls despite having a "face like a foot"
Danny O’Donoghue doesn’t exactly scream Sex God to us in our humble opinion (feel free to disagree if you are a fan but please spare our lives).
However, it seems The Script frontman, 32, is quite a hit with the ladies since appearing as a judge on The Voice last year.
The rather talented singer, who rather amusingly thinks he has a “face like a footâ€, appears to be having a great time after signing up for the BBC show and seems to suggest he’s happy to indulge in some face sucking with women he meets on his travels (living the dream then, Dan?)
He told The Sun: “Being on TV is like an accelerator. The girls in the street that would pass you by are the same girls stopping and going fanatical over you. And you get a real kick out of it.
“Do I kiss the girls? Of course I do. I’m a living, breathing man.
“If I weren’t in the public eye I wouldn’t get the same action I do now â€" I’ve got a face like a foot.â€
Danny thinks he has a "face like a foot" but is not yet able to walk with it
Danny has just completed a UK tour with his band The Script so, based on the words above which he chose to eject from his mouth, we might be able to guess what he’s been up to while on the road.
However, the star hasn’t always had a reputation for being such a ladies’ man â€" he was said to have been a one woman man and was rumoured to have been dating Bo Bruce, 28, who appeared on series one of The Voice last year.
But Dan the man, who split from long-term girlfriend Irma Mali last June, denies there was ever any romance between him and Bo.
He said: “It was one of those moments that everyone was like, ‘There’s something going on there.’ But there’s nothing behind it.â€
Are you a fan of Danny and his “face like a foot� Why not watch him on The Voice tonight at 7pm on BBC One.
And don’t forget to log on to 3am.co.uk to read our live blog during the show which will DEFINITELY make your viewing ex perience extra magical!
Since Danny is Irish, we thought we'd show you some fit celebs from the Emerald Isle. Take a look here...
The X Factor has axed Liverpool from the auditions stage after Chris Maloney debacle
X FACTOR bosses have axed Liverpool from the auditions stage â€" sparking a massive backlash from the home of The Beatles.
Producers insist they are just “mixing it up†â€" but sources say they were unimpressed with local talent in the shape of Chris Maloney last year.
Instead they are considering handing Plymouth a chance, despite the city’s low-key musical heritage.
The decision is even more surprising given the success of Liverpudlian Rebecca Ferguson, 26, a runner-up in 2010, and 24-year-old Marcus Collins in 2011.
Deputy mayor and former culture spokesman Gary Millar blasted the move and called it “a nonsenseâ€.
He said: “It’s ridiculous to say Liverpool doesn’t have talent. The last three finalists came from Merseyside.
“Liverpool is the city with 57 Number One hits. The history of bands and upcoming venues is second to none. From buskers, to schools, to groups, music is part of Liverpool’s heritage. People from all over the world gravitate to Liverpool for our music.â€
The provisional X Factor audition list being drawn up instead includes London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Manchester and Glasgow. Newcastle, however, has also been axed after featuring last year.
A source revealed: “They have had a few names come from Liverpool in the past but they were pretty underwhelmed by the talent last year.
“They want to try somewhere totally different because they are worried people could get bored and are desperate to diversify the talent on the show.â€
Judge Gary Barlow coached Liverpudlian Maloney towards a coveted third place last year.
But Maloney’s presence in the latter stages of the show is understood to have irked Simon Cowell who thought that he devalued the competition.
< p> Guest judge Geri Halliwell with Christopher Maloney
Our source added: “There’s not really much foundation to their decision given the fact that the last three seasons have clearly produced a lot of talent.
Â
“They are all under a lot of pressure from Simon Cowell to revamp the show and bringing in fresh talent from around the UK is their first big move towards doing that.â€
Music mogul Cowell, 53, last year stripped Birmingham from the auditions line-up swapping it for Newcastle. But a disappointing turn out up north has forced producers to bring Birmingham back.
An X Factor spokesman said yesterday: “Last year we found some great talent in Liverpool but this year we won’t be returning. We visit a range of cities.â€

Britney Spears takes her mental bed head and new boyfriend David Lucado home for Easter
Britney Spears has had a few, shall we say, crazy moments in the past but it’s probably safe to say she sees herself as pretty normal despite her superstar status.
The singer, 31, flew out of Los Angeles (on a plane, she didn’t sprout wings) on Thursday with really big hair and scary make-up which suggests she treated herself and slept her face off during the flight.
Look at Britney's eyes. Do you see something special?
And Britney may have been caught up in all the excitement of jumping on board a flying machine to head home for the holidays as she seemed to have, strangely, only decorated one eye with make-up.
Anyway, moving on, using our quite frankly brilliant detective skills we have cleverly worked out that Brit is probably spending Easter with her family as she landed in her home state of Louisiana.
Britney needed security to make way for her massive hair which could have unexpectedly grown at any moment. Possible new boyfriend David Lucado kept a safe distance behind
Â
Britney has kissed girls like Madonna in the past but she is rumoured to be dating David Lucado. He is a boy
Now, correct us if we’re wrong, but if we introduce a wondrous new person in our life to our parents, it means whatever relationship we have with them is going rather swimmingly, which we hope is the case for our Brit.
Britney must feel pretty comfortable around David otherwise she would dress like this at all times
And while Britney, who also had her children Sean and Jayden James in tow, may have looked all ordinary in her normal clothes as she walked through the airport, her cover was blown as she was accompanied by a massive entourage including security guards.
Oh dear: Mischa Barton had a very messy night out in LA last night
Last night, pretty much everyone was in the pub, drinking frantically because, well, we've all got four days off! No work until Tuesday!
Let's all get WASTED!
And it looks like Mischa Barton might have been in the same mindset last night - as photos of her night out at the Fire Ice Gala for the Fresh2o Water for life charity last night are making us cringe in recognition.
So fresh! And she looks great  Having fun inside the Lexington Social House
The actress started the night off well - looking amazing in a white skirt and cropped top on the red carpet.
But inside, Mischa looked more and more animated (we LOVE her red lipstick) before leaving looking a bit tipsy, stumbling up to a taxi with her lippy smeared across her face and being helped out by her friend.
Maybe she was totally sober and met a hot man who smeared her make-up? Maybe her heels were making it hard for her to walk on the pavement? Maybe her friend was just being a bit clingy?
Or maybe she'd had a drink or two ...
Um ... yeah. She's a little bit wobbly here ...
 ... how did she avoid getting red lippy on that dress though?
Oh Mischa, we've all done it - and we'll probably do it all over again tonight, tomorrow AND Sunday night.
The former OC actress went to rehab in 2007 after getting arrested for driving under the influence, but three years ago said she didn't want to stop drinking altogether.
"I don't want to give up booze completely but I now have regular six-week fasts when I don't touch a drop and it seems to work for me," she said.
"I've never had a serious problem with alcohol really, just a couple of high-spirited incidents when I was younger. But I've grown up a bit now."
She still has her bag, it's not all bad
 That driver looks so pleased with this situation
Recently, Mischa gave an interview to The Daily Beast, saying that The OC feels like a long time ago. "I've evolved a lot," she says.
"I'm a lot older now. Not a lot older, but time's passed. I think in your 20s, all your years are quite formative. I'm sure I'm quite different."
She's 27 now ... but she'll probably feel about 43 today.
The Voice 2013: Tom Jones causes floods of tears as he makes contestant's sick gran's dreams come true
Even if you’re not a fan of his music, it’s pretty difficult to deny that Tom Jones is a cool bloke.
And the Welshman, 72, proves what a stand up guy he is during The Voice this Saturday as he makes the dreams of one of the contestant’s granny come true.
Former Pontin’s Bluecoat Katie Benbow, who is also from Wales like Tom, brings her lovely grandma along to her audition to watch from the wings.
Katie's gran hugged the singer so hard after her audition she almost completely squashed her
But the trip out for her wheelchair-bound gran is something of a rarity as she is very sick and it may be the last time she sees Katie sing.
However, Sex Bomb Tom is on hand to make it a special day for Katie’s grandparent as he makes her day by winking to down the lens of the camera prompting her to wave her arms around with excitement and causing host Holly Willoughby and Katie’s family to burst into tears as the look on.
And it seems Katie’s grandparents have inspired Katie’s style throughout her recent life as she is a fan of vintage clothing and old music .
She says: “My biggest fan when I was growing up was my granddad until unfortunately he passed away.
“I was so interested in his life and the whole 1940’s era. Old music really makes me feel safe because it’s been passed through onto my granddad and onto my mum.â€
Katie loves old things. Maybe that's why she was so excited to meet Tom Jones when she auditioned for The Voice. Although, he's not THAT ancient
Want to have a good old cry and watch Katie’s lovely gran? Tune into The Voice on BBC One this Saturday at 7pm.
And don’t forget to log on to 3am.co.uk to read out live blog during the show which will amaze your beautiful eyes.
Super excited abut The Voice already? Why not look at this Will.i.am madness…
