Should you get extra credit if you’re also a mother? From Barbie director Greta Gerwig to Matilda's football star Katrina Gorry, we discuss the praise women in the public eye have been receiving after having babies. 

Plus, the person behind one of the world's biggest celebrity gossip sites, DeuxMoi, has revealed they are living in fear of being unmasked. 

And… Holly, Mia and Clare unpack why so many young people are letting their friends track their phones.
